Chiffon, or, as the authorities say
mousseline de sole, is very lovely IN em-

wealth OF work expended upon It quite
Justify its place Of prominence. To
begin with. II shows the evolution Of
the tucked skirt and a demand for
handmade embroidered decorations.
The gown Is OF smoke gray cashmere.

is tucked In sets Of fyes all the way
round from the waist downward, the
tucks being Of the tiniest width and
graduated TO fare outward, Not only
IS each tuck stitched down. but be-

lace, These straps fall beneath the
waist IN graduated lengths. all making
for slImness and grace. OF course

concession II is adorned with sprays OF
deep red rosebuds done on the peariest
white silk over trellls work Of black

charming little model that fastens to
the left side Of the front, with a scarf
pinned down here and there. The boz

ending some distance above the waist,
which is clasped by a corselet, and the
Jacket Is cut square below the throat to
show a collar and vest matching the
belt.
