with good effect were noticeable. Her
gown was of silk with the new foulard

waist, front and back.
The sleeves were Of the same mater

Frenchiness of her costume was
heightened by the hat, a large, black
straw, with masses of black lace and
a black aigrette at the left, a cache
peign of natural looking white roses,
with bits of green foliage.
