these medallion effects were little white
marks of irregular share. The blouse had
several Dlaits down the back from stock to

were perhaps three-quarters of inch

an inch apart, and so taken in that the
straight striped effect was not lost These
tucks extended down to the bust line and
were then released, bene. laid In again at
the waist line where stitched folds of the
silk formed a narrow belt. The skirt. a
straight one gathered slightly all around
the top, was short. of course, and had

a two-inch tuck. six Inches above this WAS
