 The Princess is "in." It's long, trying lines are seen upon figures good, bad and indifferent. A descendant of a famous dressmaker once told a stout American lady who applied to him for a Princess dress that "only angnls should wear the Princess"

Like the skirt decoration these straps were confined with a miniature pin framed with amethysts and pink pearls. A fan of small ostrich tips will be the only other ornament to the gown.
 One of the members of this quintette of lovely young women was a debutante, who was presented Christmas week. Her gown Is made of thin, silky goods and shows two shades of green-sea green and the old fashioned bottle green. The skirt has a diamond shaped trimming upon each side. finished with heading of the dress mate rial. The diamond trimming is composed of light green chiffon embroidered with the dark shade, and the lower edges are finish ed with e deep rufie.
