any light material in a most marvel
Gus manner.
Those who can recall the ruffied
bellies Of 1850. and of the years fol-
lowing will assure you that the woman
OF those days was all that grace and
beauty could make her; and they will
tell you that her gowns, instead of
being built to severely hug her fig
ure, were of the foating variety, the
airy fairy Lillian type, the type which
enchanted, even though 1t did not
convince.
OF course there is no need trying to
tell you that this airy floating creature
OF 1904, this war time girl. is the most
admirable girl of recent years, for she
Is nothing of the sort. Her gowns
are far too long and far too thin to
be admirable, and she is not hygienic
in her style of dress. She wears too
many floating ribbons. She is too
much betrimmed with garlands, she is
far too deeply fiounced and laced to
be strictly admirable. But, oh, she is
so prettyi
The healthiest and strongest and
most sensible girl of all was the tailor
made girl of 1890. But she was too
severe. Nobody liked her. The world
could not stand her. And SO she died

placing nat bands OF very ine old
Fashioned lace upon her skirt and Is
bordering them top and bottom with
narrow bands OF black velvet.
This. by the way, Is a very popular
trimming. The band of lace running
around the skirt and the band OF black
velvet bordering 1t top and bottom is
very chic. Every old-fashioned dress
maker will tell you how 1t Is done.
You sew the lace nat to the skirt, run
ming In q band all the way around.
Then you take a roll Of narrow black
velvet and apply 1t by hand to the
lace, first to the upper side. then to
the lower. You put it on with a blind
stitch and every particle must be done
by hand.
If you prefer, and II your gown will
allow, you edge the lace insertion with
claret colored velvet no morea than a
quarter of an inch wide; and, in that
case. you will want little of this same
narrow velvet upon your wide sleeves
and upon your waist. Your sleeves

made of Brother M. p, Hunt, represent

Convention west of the Mississippi. He
is appointed and supported Jointly by
The three Boards of the Convention. ac-
cordlng to instructions given In the ses-
