worn by Our Mary when she played
"Galatea" not so long ago but that

I This graceful statue gown in pale
green crepe de chine is arranged with
a peplum, or overskirt and full pet
| tcoat which. however, rests upon the
ground for only few inches at the
back The corners of the peplum are
finished with silk tassels, and the fig
ure is defined above the waist by
crossing straps of very fine silk en-
broidery. in green and white, upon
bands of crepe de chine to match the
gown. From the shoulders the drapery
falls away, leaving the arm bare, al
though long sleeves of white chiffon are
provided, while the neck is left little
open, back and front.
Perhaps the description of more or
binary kind of tea gown, but one which
is also made in crepe de chine, may be
of more practical value to my readers.
Imagine a gown, then, in azalea-pink
crepe de chine, that delicate pink
which is neither rose nor geranium, not
quite so bright as the color which we
know as salmon, but yet more brilliant
than the ordinary wid-rose shade. This
gown is made in the prevailing redin-
cote shape, fitting closely to the
figure at the back. but made with
certain amount of train. At the throat
the bodice part is cut open in a deep
Vshaped back and front--a welcome
change from the perpetual square. The
decolletage there made is filled in for
a certain distance with a deep old
fashioned tucker of cream lace, through
which a little narrow black velvet baby
ribbon is run, which draws the lace in
closely, but which leaves a certain
amount of neck bare.
Draped around the shoulders, in The
exact fashion shown in the old por-
traits of Mary Antoinette, there is a
| fichu scarf of green silk muslin, partly
| yelling the lace tucker, and drawn
| down to quite sharp point in the CEN
! ter of the back, Where it is held in
+ place by long narrow buckle of dia-
| monds. Inrfront the fichu lis knotted
carelessly, and left with long floating
ends reaching almost to the hem of the
skirt. at

sleeves reach to the elbow only and are
