Seattle Monday, but was persuaded by

took hand. He lost $400 which was all
the money he had.

turned pleat-wise 1t is evidently from this
line Of thought that We get our bodices
tucked upward from the waist all the
way round, the tucks spreading as they
rise. They are so short that they scarcely
show above the waistband, but they man

weather gets warmer and We are able TO
don thin fabrics, but at present, while
I they are made in comparatively heavy

artistic merit. Even when worn by the
slimmest of women they impart a clumsy

remarkably graceful carriage.
But now 10 talk Of those fascinating
garments-breakfast jackets and tea
gowns. A charming example OF the for

elegant that, 10 my mind, ii cannot be
sufficiently praised. The material is
fine. soft French poplin, with self-colored
silk spots. The cut is not at all a diff

arm cores, and straight hanging fronts,
with little fullness just at the center OF
the front This fullness is laid in four
quarter-inch tucks on each side of the
center at the neck The back is gathered
at the waist line into a cluster of shirring,
from which proceed on each side the rib
bons which may pass beneath the front
and tie or over the front. The little
tucked piece which Stimulates bolero in
