made of a fringed cream Liberty satin
scarf, assisted by a trio of white but
tons enameled in blue.
''Of course, when 1 was for moment
left alone with that dress / did what any
woman under a similar temptation would
have done, I examined ii minutely and
then on a leaf of my address book took
down a sketch of it and hurried away to
the woman who does for me and ordered
its replica in Florentine cloth of good
sturdy kakhi brown, since mine must be
a gown for more than mere house occa-
sions, The cream bow knots is in the re-
production to be replaced by one of
black and the buttons will be gilt and
though l do fitch ideas from others occa-
sionally. ! hug to myself the credit OF
copying only the best suggestions.
For n Lenten Luncheon.
But now, supposing you were going
to have really ceremonious tailor thing
made something of an investment, you
know, for the smart lenten luncheons,
ETC. what would you have?" inquired
Miss California, with interest and due
Difference to the newcomers experience.
We'll / did see a design to-day of the
mode modish Maisie, who was with me,
quite broke her heart with envy over il
when we saw 1t Tapped and swathed in
sheets of snowy tissue paper and boxed
for shipment 10 Mrs. Chatfield Taylor of
y
panne or in one of the pretty economical
cashmeres that are so greatly the vogue,
it would be equally enchanting and its
simplicity renders ii possible for any but
the very stout woman. Sage green French
suiting was the material of the original,
the skirt quite plain in front, but from
the hips round to the rear caught in a Sc
ries of close set cord tucks run with gray
silk In the back these were welded in
gracefully with a triple vatican pleat that
had its stitched lines carried out prettily
on the train.
Really the dressmakers are quite daft
over the pleating of skirts and will ac-
tually run the tucking round and round
from the waist to well below the hips,
while the lower half of the skirt is COM
pletely tucked on perpendicular lines. I've
seen some wonders done with the cork
screw tuck and others with tucked pan

over tapping revers upon the shoulders.
The two first were of cream panne, the
top one of green panne and strip Of
the shining green velvet ran down the
front of the waist to set off to advantage
three cabochon buttons of moonstone set
in green.
"Creamlest cluny lace, over green, made
the yokeet and collar, and the sleeves
We're tucked prettily from wrist up to-
ward the elbow, in order to give snug
fit and suggestion of trimming. What
the saleswoman packed in with this duck
of a gown added to our envy of it's own
er's good fortune. A tapering hip long
boa of green areophane. hemmed with the
narrowest band of chinchilla that looked
for all the world like pussy willows cling
ing to a green bough, is what 1 refer to
and muff, all of buff, with the cloud
like areophane and chinchilla, completed
my noble discomfort with my own ward
robe''
