A becoming tea gown, in which one can
lounge in luxurious armchars after a days
sport or touring, is a most desirable ad-
dition to the wardrobe. and an extremely
pretty gown suitable for this purpose Is
made of soft broche silk in pale turquoise
blue and biscuit color. and it is mounted on
lining of soft china silk nuns yelling.
which fits into the figure at the back, but
has no darts in 'front.' so the fullness is
caught together by a lace belt. The yoke.
which is transparent and extends over the
shoulders, is of biScuit-colored tucked chif-
fon, with bands of ecru guipure lace inseE
ton in between, and the collar and bands
on the sleeves are of lace insertion, with
frills of soft lace edging of the same be-
coming tint gathered into them. From the
bottom of the yoke al round the shoulders
hangs frill Of lace, and this is not carried
quite to the center of the 'front.' but the
ends are gathered and arranged in water
fall frills, which taper off and end about
ten inches below the waist.
If desired, the yoke could be lined with
pale blue china silk to make it a little firmS
er. or a lining OF cream or fiesh-colored
silk might be used, if the contrast with the
rest Of the gown were desired without the
transparency. The sleeves have close-fitting

remarkable collection of Indian por-
traits painted by Mr.. J. H. Sharp was eX-
hibted this week at the Cosmos Club Mr..
Sharp is one of the instructors in the
school of the Cincinnati Museum of Fine
Arts. and has given his summers for the
past eight years to the painting of these
portraits. They are ninety-three in num-
ber, mostly of famous chiefs and were
painted from life at the agencies of the
Montana, Dakota, New Mexico and Ari-
Zona. Ethnologic ally this collection was
of the greatest interest, and will thus lose
its peculiar value unless preserved as a
whole. The paintings did not lack, how
ever, high artistic merit, for the drawing
was admirable and the technique most
skillful. They were studies of types of
people scientifically correct, not artistic
compositions or effects, but as such very
attractive to scientist and artist alike as
