Another particularly smart effect is
shown in another sketch. 1t is gown
of hand work composed of black NOUS
seine de sole and woven with black
chenille. 1t is appliqued with chiffon or
chids and a trellis of ribbon vines. The
drop skirt and frou frou are of turquoise
blue taffeta and chiffon. There is an
1880 bodice of hand work with yoke and
sleeves OF blue mousseline laced with
chenille With this is worn a jet hat
having a chantilly streamer falling the
whole length of the dress. The dresses
of the chorus are even more handsome
than those of the principals; indeed,
am told that the simplicity of their cos
tunes is the only thing that makes the
principals stand out
Oh l must not forget to mention two
stunning little suits worn by the Heng-
