SllSntly-Well, ms nedrt may Wlln req son pit-a-pat.
 Among the many models for these dresses is one entirely new one, It is a princess gown fitting without trace of wrinkle from throat to well over the hips, falls closely about the feet and lies in a coiling train. A jaunty em- pire jacket, built in whipped-cream billowing puffs about the ears and the back of the neck, Is then slipped on. A very short yoke fits to the bust line and at the back extends to between the shoulders. The skirts of the jacket are full and boxed, and are cut off jauntily short so that as she moves the close swathing of the form by the under gown shows. The prln- cess gown may be of satin, crepe or soft wool; the jacket of velvet lined with satin, and should be shade dark CT than the underdress. Pearl gray broadcloth, in very light weight and stone velvet for the jacket is q lovely combination, or delicate lavender and deep violet.
 Such rig is one of the more formal notifications of the boudoir effect, and in many wardrobes would be replaced by such dress as that pictured here, one that Is essentially an indoor dress, but without the boudoir characteristics. It was sketched in Russian green cash mere, and it's draped bodice opened over guimpe of green silk yelled with ecru linon embroidery The bodice was alike ill back and front, its draped parts were edged With marrow frills of the silk and large bow of the silk was put at the waist in front The sleeves tight parts were green silk covered with embroidery, were cut into bells at the hands and the upper part was finished with a small clott puff.
