texture, and is so glossy aud silky and
hangs in such beautiful folds that it is
q delight to artistic eyes.
A gown of white alpaca has Turkish
embroidery of copper aud gold on
either side of the blouse bodice, which
opens over n front OF white chiffon.
Artificial flowers form stock collars
for wear with best dresses, and show
rosebuds, daisies, violets, roses, lilies

I priced varieties being most unde
sirable and unsatisfactory purchase.
