charming effect of cloudy softnesS was
given by the three deep flounces, Just
overlapping each other, and shaped
into a design of large scallops, with
entire deuX of lace. Groups of small
vertical tucks fastened with inser-
ton, formed the corsage and sleeves,
the transparent material hanging
loose at the elbow, and being tucked
again below and caught into a daintily

laid in bias effect to form a yoke,

satin drawn from each shoulder and
knotted at the front into a big chou,
from where it hung to the waist and
was met by a long girdle of the same
ribbon. With this charming gown
most becoming to her pretty co1oring,

cream 1nousseline, with a. crown of
pearl passernenterie and white roses
at the side, under the rolling brim. Her
