at the back. rise at the sides. and then
'front.' where there is a space of fully
tweHty-four inches between them. They
are formed OF tucked organdy and panels
of cluny. A four-inch RUNE of cluny finish
es the bottom. and extends up the side
fronts. There are four insertions of the
ciuny in the skirt, two down the side fronts
and two down the back: they are eight
inches wide. and between them is seen the
lengthwise tucked sections OF the organdy.
There are a higt-boned stock and vest
of cluny over organdy. A cape or collar
section of organdy tucked cros5wfse is bor-
dered with four-ineh rufiie of organdy.
This collar is shaped to form point in the
center back, but ends In straight ends in
the front. the upper corners being caught to
the bodice and the lower hanging loose.
This collar extends out over each sleeve to
a depth of five inches. At the upper edge
where it laps over the cluny vest. there is a
ruf1e caught so as not TO fall back or lose
| its graceful folds, and covering the edge of
this ruffie. next the collar. is narrow band
pointed at each end. of white satin exquisite
~ embroidered in silver, and each point
ends In the front under flisree silver
bochons Starting from the bust line and
under this collar is long lace scarf eight
inches wide. Ia the center at the top,
where it is fastened to the bodice the upper
edge is laid in two three-inch plaits turned
to the outside, the ends turned by this plait-
ing continuing down the coat. This plait-
ing forms a sort of cascade box pIait, If the
term may be used. The scarf is plated in
tightly at the waist line and is caught to
the girdle-which is formed of silver-plaited
silver gauze-by two OF the filigree ca
boch0ns. The scarf then continues down
each side of the coat fronts, being caught
here and there, just back of the lace ruffies,
and each end falls perhaps four inches be-
/ low each coat point.
The sleeves are short full puffs of cluny
over organdy, that are gathered in above
the elbows. under folds of silver gauze tied

a smart little frock seen lately was a sort
of old-rose taffeta. The skirt just escaped
the ground and was gathered just once at
the waist line, most of the gathers being
at the back and only a few at the front.
Six inches above the deep hem of the skirt
was three-inch. fiat puff of the silk Dor
dered on each edge with an inch-wide dou
. BILE plating of the silk, and eight inches
above this another similar putting. The
top looked like a bolero with sleeves: 1t was
really one of the shaped eapes, so cut that
the side sections fall in deep points over the
arms and in at each side of the arm at the
shoulders. as sleeves do. 1t was rounded
out at the top and did not come down to
the top of the folded silk girdle in the back,
but in the front the points came below the
belt This was edged all around top and
bottom with an inch-wide puff headed by
half-fnch double plating. A white null
under blouse, with fine lace collar and yoke,
was worn and pitched-ferward French
hat In black straw trimmed with roses and
ribbon that matched the color of the gown.
