One of the p~rettiest styles that has
been introduced in a long time, and
one that Is capable of adding very much

A very pretty set of accessories to
expense.
Cut the sash ON the bias, hemming 1T
by hand. This is a delicate piece of
work and must be dome by hand to make

The sash has many things to recon-
