It Is amateur gardening on the miniature

The gardening tools are made OF expensive
materials silver and bronze and are en-
graved with the owners initials or coat-of-

pectancy. Their choice is q happy one, for
q Frenchwoman is at her best in her ca
sine toilets. 1t is toilet which boasts
all OF those indescribable French touches
which seem so simple, but which mean so
much. Choux of spangled tulle, quanti-

sino wraps that are particularly rich this

show a gathered front of the lawn belted
in with a narrow ceinture of 1ettuce-green
velvet. Around the bottom the polonaise
was cut in points showing a lawn frill
below. Narrow Luxeuil lace with the pat
tern traced in lettuce velvet gave a finish
to the square neck. The sleeves of lawn
were composed of tiny horizontal tucks
They were cut elbow length and were
trimmed at the bottom with frill of
lawn finished with the lace and velvet to
harmonize with the neck trimming. Wider
green velvet of the same shade was
