They meet in the same way in the centre of the back. but here there Is straight band set with small black velvet buttons, for the waist has the effect of opening in the back In real ity 1t opens on the right side, on the shoulder and under the arm. There is . filled in with white chiffon over white in in xhe same way. This chiffon filled in neck is outlined at the sides with tabs
 of the silk stitched with black and trimmed on the edge with narrow black and white braid On either ends of the tabs are several of the black buttons. These tabs, as one calls them for want of better word are worth describing. Suppose something in the shape of an Indian birch canoe much longer than or dinary in proportion to its width. There are two of them. with their curled ends,
 which are turned out. The ends of two
 canoes meet at the lower edge of the
 point in the back of the neck. From there they are carried over the shoulders and down to the end of the square neck, the ends curling out as in the back.
