two others cut and finished I'm exactly the

SOME ATTRACTIVE MODELS.
Another really attractive model is for q
ball gown, and is in Louis XVI style. Civ
ing all the pretty grace of the fichu and
some really admirable lines. while being
content with frills of discernible width and
the always dainty characteristic bow knots.
The material is the lovely silk wolfe i'm pale
pink with dots of pink and tender yellow.
The full skirt is gathered at the belt. but
left plain for a narrow space at the front.

form two rows of festoons, each headed by
chiffon roses, and shows bow knots of ap-
plique ribbon holding occasional wreaths OF

a mass of fiower-headed frills. and is fin
iShed at the neck with the fichu of plain
pink chiffon, edged with fun frill of itself
at the waist, with a deep draped corselet of
chiffon velvet. the whole making most ex-
quiSite color scheme. A far simpler evening
gown is of the always charming white
crepe chiffon. and is trimmed with pearl
and crystal passementerie put on in an en-
tirely novel way. The skirt is straight and
full, gathered at the belt. and is trimmed
only with the banding that is put on TO

bouffant by two frills each OF edging that
banding is applied in harmony with the
skirt, and finishing the round neck is
soft ruching of lace. The half-low round
necks, let me add, are charming for young
girls, and VIII be much in vogue for sum-
mer gowns. One most delightful dotted
pink model shows a full blouse so cut and
finished with a bertha OF represe lace cut
i'm deep points ard edged with tiny puff
of pink NULL Still another is of white null
with lace, and includes a fichu draped TO
give the effect. and numberless other in
