cred rufie perhaps five inches wide and a
similar one went around the bottom of
the round skirts while midway between
them was another ruffie with a fat puff
as deep as the ruff1e
The ruff1es and the puff were both headed
by ruched tops. The bodices were shirred
at the bottom. and the sleeves were elbow
affairs. with lace ruffles over long gloves.
Each frock had bretelles, girdle and sash
lof pale pink chiffon taffeta and a stock
to match. The girdles were deep shirred
belts some five inches wide. and the sash
ENDS round at the bottom and with the
edge cut in small scaliops bound with the
silk. came to below the top of the upper
ruffies and were some eight inches wide
These ends were slightly gathered at the
top and set in under the girdle. there be-
ing no bow or knot to head them. The
bretelles were folds of the silk, also seal
Hoped and bound, and these widened out
gradually from the sides, beginning some
five inches be.ow the shoulder seams, and

the third some four inches only in width.

ends and flowers, chiefly roses in ciel
blue silk. The bodice was shirred in tight
at the waist line and the embroidery show
ed at the top. The elbow sleeves. rather
close at the top. but fiaring out wide over
the chiffon undersleeyes. were of a single
straight fold of the gauze, embroidered to
match the skirt. Her hat was rather
large one of pale blue crinoline. with a
wide brim. the edge of which showed
double bias fold of the crinoline. 1t was
tilted up at the one side by bandeau and
was trimmed with blue ostrich tips to
match. Although Mrs. Haggin affects blue.
she is very pale blonde, with peculiar
but distinctive coloring that for whom
scarlet in quantities would seem to be an
ideal setting.

Miss Mabel Gerry, at the Preston-Mc-
Afee wedding, wore a pale blue costume,
very simple in outline and. trimming the
latter consisting of wide white silk braid,
with a draped effect at the bottom. two
widths of the braid crossing each other
to outline long ovals around the bottom
of the otherwise plain skirt At the top
and bottom of the ovals the effect was
of the braid turned over on itself, with
the edge caught. The Elton coat effect
at the top was also outlined with the
braid. Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt jr, wore
a smart little walking hat, boat shape,
the crown rather high and indented,
long oval IN shape. ana the S-de DrlmS
rolled high and more at the front and
the back. something on the torpedo order.
1t was a sort of golden tan, with hint
of apricot, and shaded quilts combining
these coiors were placed at the SIDES,
and ribbons to match across the back
it was as a gloried alpine. She wore a fine
black chiffon broadcloth cloth skirt, short
one. and almost close-fitting Elton, cut
out at the top. and showing a fold of
glace cloth at the top. matching the hat.
Her underblouSe was white.
Miss Marguerite Pierson wore a silk
null in blue thickly sprinked with small
white dots of different sizes. 1t was q
princess robe, too, and also of round
length, but at a casual glance seemed a
waist and skirt with shirred girdIe. for it
was shirred to fit the figure to a distance
of some five inches above and six inches
below the waist line. The top was cut
out to give a square yoke effect produced
by the white stock and guimpe. The null
was shirred to form a ruching at the top
where it Tapped over the guimpe. and be-
tween this and the shirring of the gird,e
or body part it formed a wide but not
full puff that dropped slightly. Around the
bottom three or four tuckS varying from
inches apart formed the finish. The sleeves
were shirred puffs to the elbows. Her hat
was pale blue straw trimmed to match.
