To shape materials over the figure
avoiding seams as much as possible,
observe, is the note of distinction givel

deep jack rose red faille, absolutely
devoid Of trimming, is my pick of thu
pack. 1t is a superb gown, and ex'
tremely elegant is the coatee of blacl
chantilly lace over a black satin foun-

1 was interrupted yesterday by a
summons to join the coaching crowd
who were to follow in procession Dor
othy and her automobile. 1t really did
arrive on time; just 80 days after the
order was placed. We think that quick
work. Jack makes a splendid salesman
and has materially increased his bank
account since accepting the agency,

trance. 1t was on a small woman, who
wore shoulder cape of maybe combi-
nation which caught her close about the
shoulders and branched out above the
waist in generous Fittings. And again
fell victim to the charms Of white and
black.
We had jolly time and came home

Golf Girl and golf bonnets which pro-

oreeze born during our indoor stay.
