In selecting a few wells for myself
was impressed with the variety of pat

silk, with it's big chenille dots. This is
the proper thing for yachting wear.
Then there is the veil overIaid with
clusters of golf sticks, which no golfing
girl is content to be without Besides
these are many odd patterns, patches
of flowers and birds with outstretched
wings being conspicuous. Covered
with one of these much decorated at

the hot water faucet and then under

Count Boni de Castellane- Following

that the Countess Jeanne de Castellane
