pretty costume seen the other day was
q mouse-gray corduroy Of very wide
stripe, the bodice in the form of a
blouse, fastening on one side with
three smoked-pearl buttons surrounded
with simili diamonds, with n little
square pocket OH the left side. The
skirt, perfectly fiat round the hips,
was ingeniously arranged in small
gathers at eqtal distances at the hip
line, giving just the requisite fulness
TO the gown. The hat was one Of those

ferent when you look at the effect Of
the gown at distance. The trim bo-
lero-bodlce reaches the waist and is re-
lieved by pure velvet insertions pro-
fusely stitched in squares across the
shoulders. Hats with a small. some
