rowest of plaits.
The bodice is exceptionally clever in de-
sign, for though it is a blouse. yet it re-
veals rather than concels the outline of the
figure. The waist is outlined with a feath-
erbone-stiffened girdle Of soft pink silk.

the yoke is of the transparent net flecked
with gold seQuins and made with a high
stock collar. which also has a band or two

This gown, like the majority Of the new

skirts.

the skirt next to 1t may be of lace, the one

pink. and then the foundation petticoat in
either white liberty satin or silk.
.PETTICOAT OF
CHANGEABLE CHIFFON.
Many of the transparent lace and net
evening gowns show. in addition to the
silk drop skirt, a petticoat of changeable
chiffon. The effect produced by this gauzy
petticoat with its changing tint is delight
fully mysterious and altogether lovely.
Another exquisite effect produced In PLAN

petticoat which comes next to the dress
skirt proper OF silver gauze or very fine
cloth of silver.
When this is done the net skirt shows

One day when Doctor Dawson, an elo-
quent preacher of q century ago, called to
see Miss Corbett. a wealthy admirer of his
oratory. for whom he had concealed a not
altogether platonic affection, he found her
reading the Bible.
Stealing up behind her he looked over her
shoulder to see what she was reading, when.
without showing any recognition Of his
words OF Nathan to David: Thou art the
man."
Even a less marked hint would nave been
sufficient for Doctor Dawson, and we can
not wonder that Miss Corbett soon changed
her name.
Doctor Abernethy. the famous physician,
was as abrupt in his courtship as in his
treatment Of his patients. When. after a
single meeting. he decided that Miss Anna
Threlfall would make a desirable life part
ner. he promptly wrote to tell her so in a
direct, businesslike way.
he told her frankly that he was much
too busy a man to have time to spare for
lovemaking,' but II she was willing to
marry him she might let him know in a
week. Miss Threlfall did let him know.
