me Princess ofsWa1es, it Is declared by

5ssoriety again Il ifs well known that, since
tba death of her son eight years ago,
She has mingled as little as possible with
the CAV world, much spreferring the seclu-
sion &of Sandringham and the shades Of
E York Cottage ThouShsull4 a beautiful wo-
man she has dressed like an elderly one
and nothing but her exquisite figure has
saved her.
This wear Her Royal Highness has plac-
ed quite a large order with a French
dress-making house and the needles are
flying busily upon her work
While, there were a few suits in her order
the request was almost entirely for shirt
waists. as all waists now are called; and
such lovely waists they We're. One of these
was a decided blouse with a little bag all
around the belt. This particular waist was
of blue satin in the new lightweight. It
was scarcely heavier than taffeta and
looked quite like glossy silk The entire
surface of the waist was striped with
narrow bands Of white satin ribbon, look
ing for all the world like a blue and
white striped satin waist The yoke was
quite a distinctive thing in white satin
witt, a, border of plated chiffon. All around
the yoke, front and back, there was an
applique of brilliant velvet cherries with
green leaves The belt and cuffs were
of white satin and there was white satin
stock.
Another one of the waists intended sa-
this same royal destination was of Vic
tcrian grey poplin, stitched with dark grey
silk. The stitching was put on in groups
of six rows each, reaching from the yoke
to the belt. The yoke was quite a remark
able thing, being sailor collar slasfled in
pcints. There were seven points in front
and seven in the back. A little edge of
lace bordered all the points.

to the plain side of the jacket, and to a
het Of gold and blue

by another strap of the goods. and two
