A handsome Dutch gown was pre-

Of her friends, the daughter of a rich
Amsterdam merchant. The material
was the heaviest of glittering satin,
embroidery around the hem put on mar

The color of the satin, instead of

and there are embroidered peacock
feather designs upon evening and dim
ner dresses. A beautiful cloth dress is
trimmed with peacock blue velvet,
while the coat is made Of navy blue

blue and green, are combining well.
It isn't always the most expensive
gown which looks the best, and this
intelligence makes good reading for the
woman who is making her own gowns
