Helen NJ. Gould's Show.
I had the pleasure Of going out to Tarry-

collection Of chryeanthemums in the world
and, by great gardening. the head of her

but gorgeous.
Miss Gould wore on this occasion a dark
blue gown. stitched with white. The skirt
was one of the new pedestrians. 1t was
cut Just long enough to touch the ground,
but was so shaped that it did not touch.
after all. 1t is the peculiar cut OF these
gowns that keeps them from touching, not
their length. They flare SO decidedly that
the flare keeps them away from the side
walk. The lower edge is very stiff and is
stitched.
Mlss Gould's long cloak was in navy
blue. Just the color Of her gown. faced
with black and lined with white. ' The
outside was trimmed with a Grecian bor-
der in braid. There was a tall. rolling COL
lar. and the sleeves were long and pro-
vided with cuffs that turned back. They
were faced with black velvet. with a little
braiding along the edge.
Mrs. c. Oliver Iselin Is very attractive

They are all girls that dress well on a lit

One of the new gowns. worn by one OF
the sisters. has q little shirred chiffon vest
set in the neck. while the sleeves show that
delightful uncertainty which marks a waist
with the Partisan tag. There are shirrings
and there Is a little shoulder cap Of panne.
then there is a chou somewhere. a bow.
and the sleeve Is complete. while the yoke
and the vest also have sprung into existence
in the same mysterious little way.

that must be echoed by all who rave many
