Jewels and enamel hat wrinkles in the

OF s~,riingly different fashion IS a SEE

which also is cut as q princess Tooe.
Folding over from right % left, the cor

they run up towards the waist. A lace
front is set between the crossing folds
of the velvet decOlletage. over one
shoulder passes q spray of roses, over the
other a diamond brace. and the sleeves
are daringly unlike: one being a mere
drapery Of tulle which circles the arm,
while The other Is a short but genuine
