cate that fur trimmings are in vogue for
evening wear also. Blue fox, ermine and
sable form "a most effective frame to a

larry enchanting. 1t is a princess of
mauve paine with arabesques of gold
embroidery down the front, and the low
decolletage as well as the closing along
the left side and the hem edged with
roll of blue fox. Felix Fournery.
