dresses are made with transparent
sleeves reaching to the waist.

frivolity, have your handkerchiefs en-
5roidered with flowers to match the
blossoms in your hat. :

ppenwork lace, starting from pin

are covered with alternate ruches of
jet and mousseline bands, embroidered
in. black silk and small jet beads. =
