ulates silk in its variety of pretty color

the left side front, over which the
shield laps. The gown may be made up
on blue lawn or tafTeta foundation.
The patterns for yoke and Lugh collar
are part of the present costume. 1ne
front OF the batiste waist is slightly
gathered at the shoulders, the fulneSs
being drawn i'll ut the waist on each
side of the centre front, and the fas-
tening is concealed between the gath
ers at the shoulder and waist-line. The
sleeves are tight-htting, with taring
cuffs and epauletteS. The foundation
