| The skirt was by means small measuring about
seven yards at the hem, and with slight fulness

white lawn embroidery. the embroidery extending

There was a pleasant effect suggested by the bodice
that was quaint and pretty. The under blouse was
OF accordion pleated white silk NULL and the short

narrow blue velvet ribbon. The bodice opened again
| in the side seams, 10 show an inch OF the under
blouse half covered by the lacng: and there were
| two openings and rows OF lattcework in the back
Over the upper part Of the back OF the bodice fell
a deem woke collar OF white lawn embroidery on

and formed little revers on each side OF the null
hod,ce IN front There belt, as II would de-
stroy the quaint round bodice effect. The back OF
the choker was OF the embroidery, rather high and
ending on the side. Below was SCARF or SILK

sest the skirt with a full rufie at the wrist ana
