and that is that rptfIes are no longer
the thing for skirts. and that elbow
sleeves are not generally popular One
Of the haadsamest of the imported gown:
as yet worn last week was OF 'ounoa'
ton OF black satin. covered with BLACK
chiffon, with stuffed applique pink rose
buds and leaves on the ereF-skirt. while
the waist had the same applique intro
duced threaded with pink chiffon. which
here and there formed a pom pom.
A pretty null dress worn by girl OF
sixteen was OF pink, the skirt being
gathered around in groups with vide
bands of Insertion. the sleeves and wais1
having the same tuckings. Most Of the
ballroom skirts wen in thin materla
are made made of imported imported pat
terms. which fall plainly from the wais,
TO the ground and are worn oser stik
foundations with accordian pleated
founces All the gowns in the evening
are deeollete. the many hats racks be-
Ing partially hidden BY chiffon and tulie
