face-just enough to form q back
ground for the dark hair.
Mrs. Francis K. Pendleton> lunching
lately at Sherry's, New York, with
Ms Lehr, wore a pretty dark blue
foulard spotted with white. The skirt
IVES gathered little into narrow
belt. The graduated applied flounce
was headed by little squares of black
lace insertions over white; the squares
turned diagonally, corner to corner.
The simple little gathered bodice
| bloused little IN front and had a
small vest. It's white lace stock ex-
tended in front into a maltese cross
| shaped vest; around it were insertions
OF lace squares in diamond pattern.
| The sleeves were loose: flowing some
from the elbows, and had insertions of
| lace squares at the wrists, where the
sleeves were gathered into narrow
| bands. The dark blue straw hat worn
was small, f1at-crowned, and with
| J m curled up on each side. 1t had
a touch of white.
Mrs. Harry Lehr, lunching in a ia
Vol lite restaurant, just after her re-
| turn from Europe, was in a plain
| white shirtwaist that fitted more like
| bodice than a blouse. The skirt was
| lightweight, silver-gra cloth, clos
| ing invisably and very smooth, but
! easy in it's fit around the hips. 1T
| swept the floor in folds. Three groups
| of rib tucks five inches apart-and the
| tucks half an inch apart-s1mulated
| deep applied f1ounce, and curving
| from top to bottom of this tucked por-
| ton was inch-wide fine gray silk
| braid that formed long ovaIs over each
| row of tucks; the largest ovals cross :
i!-g the lowest group of tucks and the
| smallest ovals the upper; the bands
| were carried from one series to anoth-
| ar. Mrs. Lehr's hat of white straw
had low, round crown and wide fiat
| b"'m curving down little in front
and pinched in at the hack-where II
| narrowed to a, tab-like termination
to touch the knot of the couture The
| brim had binding an inch wide Of
| blact velvet; narrow black velvet rib
Don was drawn around the crown and
| mingled with the black and white cher
/ r1es and their foliage, which dropped
from the right of the back almost
| three-fourths the way to the bodices
stock. The fruit and foliage were also
| USED literally around the outside of
the brim. A plain parasol of soft gray
/
| button-hole work edges and plain wood
/ handle was carried.
| One Of the prettiest costumes seen
OF late was of blue and white foulard
trimmed with plain blue and fine lines
| of light green-dark blue and pale
| green being an especially chic com
| bination. The foulard was a deem
blue, sprinkled with white polka dots
| Ierhaps guar ter of an inch across.
The skirt closed invisabIy in the back.
| ct the bottom a bias piece OF plain
blle foulard perhaps five inches wide
was folded over to make a deep tuck.
and its edges were covered with a
| quarter inch light green cord braid.
| Some seven inches above this another
wide fold of the plain blue circled
around the skirt, dipping lower in
the front; six or seven inches above
| this was similar but narrow bias
| rutfie, and at the same distance above
| & third ruffie. The bodice had two
| similar bias folds two inches deep
showing the green. These extended up
/ from under the arms, describing up-
| ward turning points directly in the
center of the back; there was about
quarter of an inch space between
them. The same effect was shown
in the front, Below the applied tucks
the bodice bloused a trffle in front.
There was a plastron OF lace with pale
blue and green worked in, forming a
Joke. In the back it formed a square
collar, perhaps five inches deep. 1t
extended down the sides for six inch
IS below the shoulder seams; IL slant
ed off to square finish in the center,
and was fully fourteen inches deep
from stock to bottom. A chain of
