the Ioor by deep shaded founce,
whicn sloped down toward the front
somewhat narrower. This was headed
withquillings Of blue ribbon, and much

confined at the waist with ribbon

founces on the long trailing skirts

and cashmere in delicate colors,
trimmed with rows of baby velvet rib

Little jacket negligees are pouched
all about in blouse fashion, and fin

muslin about the hips, the fronts cross

insertions of lace separate the rows Of |
bouillionnes into graduated clusters. |
The sleeves are entirely of guipure, as |

from which hangs the silk underdress.
The underdress is girdled with a long |
fringed ribbon.
A little house dress which is charm

hangs straight in front, and on the
sides, and is fulled behind from deep
yokelike bodice of ecru guipure. This
lace yoke ends just under the bust in
scallops over the silk breadths, and be-
hind is fastened up the center OF the
back with little round buttons, GOV
cred with the silk, the neck slightly
square and chokerless. The breadths
