fluffy affair, fashioned reseda tulle and
trimmed with passion flowers.
Two American girls who were studying
the front of Dagnan Bouveret's Last Sup

crowd for their tasty gowning One wore
a gown of very thin fouiard silk with
design in white and green upon a back
ground of old blue tracing. The bodice was
of cream batiste, very full, with a pompa
dOur of green covered with coarse black
net Around the pompadour was a trim
ming of Nalenciennes lace in full frills.
There was trimming of these tiny frills
at the top of the sleeves, and the high
tour de cOu of the same had knots of green
velvet tucked around in the fulness. The
narrow belt of hunters green velvet had
a marvellous clasp of gold studded with
jewels.
AThe other girl had on a dress that sug

basque of hunters green satin was drap-
ed with the fawn silk, which had stripes
worked in chain stitch in rose and green
floss. The fun skirt of the striped silk had
fulled panels on each side, caught togeth-

A very clever Russian artist who is tall
and striking had on a charming bodice
with full black satin skirt. The bodice
was Of white taffeta with a long yoke of
cut steel sequins, and coming from under
the yoke were two pieces of jet, forming
short boleros. At the front there was
broad box plat with jet buttons and the
short puffs on the sleeves were Topped with
bands of jet a pointed girdle of the steel
seQuins gave the finish to the bottom Of
the bodice.

The third girl wore cape in cloth like
the first one. Only it was a tweed in
brown and fawn plaids with stitchings
