are situated low over the hand 50 a. to
barely leave the knuckels visible. A

small and for hat reason Is worn very |
faring. Another style Of Robespierre

cred; this kind Of a cuff is worn with the
little house coats which are so fashions
able on the Riviera.
The fashionable woman Of this spring
will not hesitate to purchase a whole
trunk of these little house coats, vary

At this time of year 1t can be slipped

The season of transparencies, is NOT
at an end. One of the smartested dresses
Of the president was of black mousse
line desoie over white taffeta. The. foot
of the skirt got it's note of color, FROM a
very deep border of foregt-me-nqts
which extended all the way around the
skirt. somewhat combining the mousse
line de sole, and in a way detractipg

were Of silk and varied in color from
deep purple to pale blue. thus taking
great liberties with nature.
The little coat. worn with this skirt.
/ was a bolero, made entirely of finely
tucked white ~taffeta, edged with a deep
cream lace ruching. Medallions of
cream lace were appliqued over the
tional fashion.
The half sleeves had a turned back
puff of Nile green panne velvet: the
collar and girdle were of the same
panne.
There was still another part to this
somewhat complicated dress. for it had
a vest of white chiffon. bound across
with small black velvet bows. The
sleeves were of chiffon.

While the charge of extravaganza can
be truthfully laid at fashions door, it is
a fact that gowns are sc. made up Of
different materials and colors that a wO-
man of ingenuity can put together a
very acceptable house dress, or even an
| afternoon or reception gown, at small
cost.
AS a couture told me. with five
yards of taffeta, Ave yards of crepe de
, India, a little piece of velvet. some
. squares of lace, a ru e of chiffon, and
a few artificial flowers, I can fashion for
. madame a handsome reception dress. II

e pieces, that is all. I can make a gown
from her last winters sOiled ball dress.
