The second costume is a blue muslin, en-
broidered in polka dots. Flounces edged
with black and blue ribbon ornament the
skirt and waist. The sleeves of this pic

in all the new tea gowns, lounging robes,
etc, and in the new coiffures. Many eff
f~ectively pretty evening gowns, of the sim
pier sort, are cast on long flowing lines,
falling straight from hip and shoulder,
while the length Of the front breadths, of
gowns of ceremony, is quite astonishing.
Gowns to be worn exclusively in the drawing
room fall an inch on the floor in front, are
smooth fitting at the hip, but flow full from
the knees down. To wear such a skirt a
woman must needs walk with the stately
dignity of a goddess, since nothing is more
difficult to carry about pleasingly than these
statuesque robes. Stout women frankly re-
joice in this leaning toward the classic mode,
for with the flowing skirts they gain height,
while with the draped sleeve, fastened at the
shoulder and falling to the knee, and the
slight definition Of line at bust and waist,
q clumsily stout woman is transferred into a
very fair adaptation of the modern Juno.

tinCtly the couture a la Gree is a clever
