She began 10 ride a bicycle IL was her

evidence of d particularly bold imposition

Other recent ideas in the bolero line
appear in the pictures. The first was In

Of blue and white striped cloth. The re-

Despite the fact that the whistle Is blow

was pUtIy-ColOred berege. Yoke and vest
were cream lace. the bretelles were edged
with red, and the same color also appear
ed in panne velvet for belt and collar, and
in cord trimming for skirt and bodice. The
bretelles, with the tie coming from be-

Of this bodice. In silks the bolero may

pieces made a coat traceable in the next
gown, which was black tafeta, the vest

because Of the pink. White and black
are more commonly combined, without

The fashionableness for the mating Of
