in these tiny folds to flare at the bot

ened over to the. right side. The front
was laid in four rows of broad tucks
that were held with cut steel buttons.
lust at the right edge Of the corsage,
where it fastened, the fulness in the
tucks was allowed to flare to give
pretty graceful finish At the back the
corsage was perfectly plain. From I'M
der the narrow patent leather belt came
short basques pleated full into pigeon
tails" Ornamenting the front of the
belt were two square-cut steel buckles.
The collar was a high, straight affair
covered with folds of the cloth. There
was but the slightest suspicion of full
ness at the top of the long close-fitting
sleeves.
The chic little toque that was worn
with this toilet was made of three
shades of turquoise velvet, none of
them very intense, that harmonized
beautifully in the full draped folds. The
fulness was all gathered up to the left
side where the velvet was arranged in a
high bow.
ROUGH TWEED.
A rough tweed gown was of a dull
shade of terra Gotta, shot with black.
The skirt was made with a broad fac

a narrow band of light terra GOTTA cloth.

with moire folds. The bottom of the
sleeves was finished with flaring cuffs of
the tweed similarly trimmed
Rather a youthful gown was built of
stone-colored cloth and was trimmed
in the most striking way with narrow
black braid. The skirt fitted close over
the hips and the slight bit of fulness
there was at the back was disposed of
in two small underlapping plaits. The
braid was arranged in rows of FIVE. 1t
came from the back of the skirt and
crossed at the front to form a point. A

placed below this and took the same
general form.
STONE COLOR.
The corsage was a blouse OF the
stone-colored cloth that opened in an
invisible way at the left shoulder and
under-arm seam. 1t was trimmed with
the black braid that formed a ''V" at
