I've had at least one gray gown and
have never found any reason to distrust
the efficacy of that especial tone.
This time I've chosen an ash gray
with just a vague faint note of pink in

of chill to the complexion that gray
does sometimes convey. The goods is

black soutache braid with silver rim
will bring out the high lights and just
cord of coral colored velvet will give
a finish at the top of the high, close fit

sured Maisie, as she stood balancing
herself en- her patent leather toes be-

All men do. my dear sclemnly

the grace. the fragile elusive poetry OF

man has ever comprehended. To man
a tea gown is a cross between the peig
noir and a ball dress; a curious hybrid
thing, in the presence of which he is
not quite sure whether to feel duly en-
barrassed or ccnyentionally awe struck.
Therefore he compromises by being
miserably uncomfortable. and in con-
sequence no dutiful. sensible wife ever
wears one in the presence of her lord"

her brown gowned figure 10 the covet-

bother and big bills.
My sleeves are cut exactly on the
pattern used for shaping those of an
Episcopal clergyman's white robe.

sleeves of gathered green chiffon. There

dominating note of contrast is an ar

fringed ends that pass narrowly over

fringed ends nearly to the floor. These
great shoulder sashes are of a darker

medallions themselves are. large, the

The antique ones are of course the most
desirable. but they are. scarce and very
extensive. Reproductions, of them, how

A certain grocer on the hill has for
some days been hunting for the owner OF
a voice that claimed his attention at tue
telephone one busy morning. When ne
