The box pleat Of this waist is wide
1t must be at least three and a half

groups on either side the pleat extend

stop short at the bust. A tab of the
material of the same width is laid over
third of the way down the box pleat.
Its pointed end is embroidered in a

chrysanthemum. Above it is closely

contrasts are not too startling. AS
one well dressed woman said: Black
embroidery on white should take the
form of a delicate tracery, otherwise
1t becomes bourgeois"
A dainty white waist follows after
this dictum. 1t is of fine French fan
mel and is perhaps too elaborate to
come under the head of a shirt-waist.
1t is cut after a shirtwaist model,
howev ~ except, that it has deep
cum. The sleeves are laid in wide
pleats as far down as the elbow, Each
pleat is ornamented with slender line
of black and white silk embroidery
and the end of each is marked by an
inch-wide medallion, also embroidered
in black and white silk. The same EN-

front of the waist, and line of me-

bust line.

II seems that, the even before, a
woman had invited herself to big
wedding in the house on the corner
and had tried to walk off with some
wedding presents. She had been
caught, but a confederate was sus-
pected, since a diamond star and sew
eral other valuables had not turned
up. In her pocket had been found a
red sock suspiciously like the one that
had dropped out of mine. And the

duty if he did not take me down and

up the other sock as it dropped off.

Isn't the view somewhat monotonous?"
