Fancy waists including two or three materials are

suited to entire gowns and the separate bodice that
fills many needs
The model illustrated includes all the newest
features and can be relied upon entirely correct

AS shown, the foundation is OF dove-coored taf-
feta the yoke and front OF palest gray with
guimpe OF ridescent sequns. the edges are An
ished with trimming which includes similar bits OF
brilliancy and the and cuffs are Of cerise
velvet faced with white satin: but almost nnumer-
able combinations be devised so long the
velvet which gives the final up-to-date touch Is
preserved.
While stylish in the extreme and elaborate In
effect the adjustment is in reality quite simple
and requires special skill. The foundation lining
FITS snugly and is cut with the usual pieces and
seams. but the outer portions show shoulder and

sleeves are small but not overnight and the neck
is finished with deep straight collar supplemented
by outstanding frills OF cream white lace.
