expected that people who understand dress
will value at It's full extent the costly lace,
fur and material of which the gowns are

light color Is made with the skirt so full
that il falls into wide pleats around the
foot and is finished with band of velvet
of a darker shade and medallion of heavy
braid The coat on the Louis Quinze or

and the waistcoat of white satin is en-
broidered with the braid. A double bow of
lace and lace ruffles at the sleeves are very
becoming and soften any harsh outlines of
the cloth or velvet.
A charming gown is of velvet IN one OF
the new shades of brown, the front breadth
narrow and plain, while at the sides are
two bands of shirring. There is wide
pointed but perfectly plain bodice OF satin
with draped bolero of the velvet and
deep pointed yoke collar of embroidered
lace. This costume Il one OF the newest
