to this French gown. It was made Of

white French knots. In front it formed

was faint suggestion Of orris and vio-

sprinkled between the lining and the
fur. Then it had such becoming collar
of ermine; which, though it was made to
be turned down and have the fashionable
fiat effect, could also be turned up when
the weather and the occasion required it.
There were cuffs Of the ermine, too,
which made the sleeves effective.
It is a foolish thing to economic in

PRESIDENT CASTRO'S WIFE
The First Lady Of Tempestuous Ven
ezuela Was q Simple Country
Girl and Is q Great Favorite of
the Peop1e.

Ethel Plummer Bowen, niece Of the
United States minister to Venezuela,
writes to the New York Tribune:
When President Castro of Venezuela
married, and before he made himself
president. Nine. Castro was a simple
country girl. Venezuela was therefore
much surprised to see her take her place
as the wife Of the president in Miraf1ores,
the palace, with such ease and grace as
to make her at once charming and de-
lightful occupant of that high position.
Her people worship her, and well they
may, for in her they find a friend who Is
always ready and waiting to help them in
their times Of sorrow and depression.
President Castro has very little time for
purely social functions. Therefore he is
Z only at infrequent intervals seen in COM
pany with his charming wife. She is al
ways attended by her private secretary,
Banet de Nazaris. who acts as her in
terpreter, for Nine. Castro speaks no Ian
guage but her own soft Spanish. This
she does in such q sweet and unaffected
and cannot help smiling with delight at
her bright little upturned face. Like the
president, she is short and dark. Her
eyes are large and dark, and her whole
expression is almost child-like in its SIM
plicity. She is now about % years old.
jewels are exquisite. I was fortunate in
seeing her often and If she knew how
struggled with the Spanish words I said
to her she would have smiled. One day
she said to her interpreter: 1.-THE seno-
rita talks SO much when first meet her,
then she grows most quiet; and again,
when she is about to leave me, she talks
SO much. Why is that?" She did not
understand that had said ever word I
knew as often as dared, and then had to
stop; not from lack of interest, but sim
ply because could not go on.
The Catholic faith is to her very real

was sash and girdle combined. The
girdle portion pointed in front and was
made of fine plaits.s At the back there
was q huge knot Of the chiffon and then
two broadening chiffon ends reached quite
to the bottom Of the skirt. These ends
were hand-painted in a conventional floral
design which showed much pink, violet
and silver. , --.. a.., s.-s,-..-
For the girl that loves blue there was
a smart gown among the collection which

color Dresden blue. The skirt had each

seams and at the bottom all the way
round were wonderfully beautiful insets

silk French knots which greatly added to
their charm. The blouse bodice appeared
to be designed purposely to improve the
appearance of slender figure. The up
