One of the Partisan modistes has sent over
several drawings of bridal robes for a bride
of the spring to select from, and as a spe-
cial favor the writer was allowed to see
several of them. One in particular is as eff
fecttye as It is novel. The skirt, including
the train Is formed entirely of tucked chif-
fon. the tucks being an inch and half
deep. Around the bottom CT both skirt and
train are four-inch ruchings of white net,
set within half an inch of each other. the
foundation to be of white satin, with full
ruchings of white chiffon at the bottom.
The stock and pointed vest are also or
white chiffon laid in quarterback tucks, the
top of the stock having narrow picot edge
of point lace. Over this is to be worn a
tight-fitting coat, with shaped skirts of
duchesse point. the coat being broken by a
girdle effect in the back and Waistcoat eff
feet in the front.
The back of the coat top Is one piece of
lace and ends under a narrow girdle OF
cloth of silver folds. The side fronts of the
coat are laid on closely over the white chif-
son and satin foundation as far IS the bust
line and from that point they hang bit
loose showing the folds Of very thin silver
gauze that. extending up at the sides from
the girile. form waistcoat effect and are
drawn in at the center front and carried
over, surplice fashion, to the left side under
a spray of silver gauze leaves From this
spray of leaves and up to the top OF the
right shoulder and caught to the folds of
silver gauZe Is long spray OF orange bios
sons the heavier part being at the bottom,
the cloth of silver showing all the way up
as the lace coat front swings loose. The
coat skirts separate In the front, being
three inches apart at the top and ten at the
bottom. In the front end, half way from
waist to floor, ending in points, the sides
first rising some eight inches and then
sianting down again form a deep point in
the back that extends below the bottom OF
the skirt and down foot more the
chiffon train. There is no firilness about this
coat skirt, 1t fits like a glove, and is lined
with white chiffon.
The sleeves are large puffs of finely tuck
ed chiffon. the tucks running around the
arms. Three narrow ruffies of point d Allen
con, each two inches wide, set on a ehif-
fon net foundation, and each slightly
overlapping the other end at the elbow

sleeve at the head of each group of ruff
