style. Jackets lined with a color which

chiffon woven in clusters of black satin
stripes. An open-work black silk pas
sementerie yoke, having leaf edges and
lined with crimson silk, forms the upper
part of the waist, and from under these
fancy edges shows a tiny black chiffon
plating. Brocade is used to line the net
sleeves, and the capes are edged with dou-

brooches are simply rings of precious
stones, rubies and diamonds alternating,

in size from three cent piece to that of
a silver dollar. Heart-shaped ornaments
