plain about the hips the skirt flares into tremendous
fulness at the foot. The yoke Of Alencon lace is
richly embroidered in loose petal effect in bluebells
Of Scotland no doubt. Ena was born at Balmoral.
Most superb Of all, in its planness and richness,
the silken fabric cut prncesse falling in magni
cent folds The simple fold at the foot is finished with
fine silver cord. The beautiful, if brief, bolero is
an exquistely blended Of fine lace applique, and
embroidery which is done in amethyst and pale
silks and silver thread with amethysts These rich
colored stones give just the light and color needed in
this charming creation.
Indeed, all Of the hundreds Of garments being
made charming, especially the numerous lingerie

SUITS too in varying degrees Of elaboration Of

the waist line, pleating from plain front panel being
the better choice for panama, and trim the bottom

preferred band of lace is pretty finish to corse'

A suggestion for headwear to be worn with the
