The Limit of Gowns and Costumes

Has the limit Of costuming and
extravaganza in evening gowns been

which any woman of fashion would
naturally ask herself after seeing the
animated and gorgeous ball room
scene In the last act of "The Silver
Slipper. Or is it possible for the
feminine habitues of the theatre to
thoroughly realize that the gowns
and costumes that are displayed are
of the finest and most expensive
fabrics, designed and created by the
world s most famous modistes, as the
houses of Worth. Felix and Alias are
so prominently and thoroughly iden-
titled in the dresses exhibited in this
musical play. Can any woman mag

are shown on the ront line in the

every gown is a creation, there being
cost of each will vary from four to

is: Is so much grandeur in these
toilettes as shown in "The Silver

edge that on the front line alone there
is represented in silks, satins, lacee
and embroideries over $4,000 in
dresses.

Recently, under his supervision and
instruction, the Eight Grade of the
schools Of that town put out charm

which was, aside rom the printing,
and inserted photographs, done by
the pupils of that grade. This book
was printed at the press of the Sui
Ivan Democrat and is a remarkable
example of Typography to come from
such source The composition, so
says the announcement, twas done
by Bill Macy" The presswork,
planning, the initial poem and the
two woodcuts were done by Mr.. Bick-
nell. The pieces and the advertise

the eight grade as stated above, the
whole costing $50 in publication.
The folding hand-covering and IL
Eliminating, FASTING in of pictures
and hand sewing of the books was
done by the pupils, two hundred cop
les being printed and published.
With the net proceeds, $50, they are
to purchase a water color by either
Mr.. Bundy or Mr. Forsyth, both of
these artists having sent three pic
lures to select from. This is a de-
lightful piece of work and Mr.. Bick-
