TIME trading schooner Tax had come down from
the Labrador. She was riding at anchor in
the home port with her hold full of salt fish,
and the stock of goods in her cabin sadly low.
We had gone aboard that night to shake the hands

for this costume was black straw with

A more elaborate cloth dress was

1t was made with a long shirt and
double-breasted bolero. The waist
was of cluny lace dyed to match the
Cloth and had a cravat and stock of
old rose velvet. The bolero was
finished with a collar and cuffs of
smoke colored velvet and an edge of

Art has entered into dress hand-in-
hand with caprice and extravaganza.
Happily SO, for the result is nearly
always charming. Instead of build
ing gown SO that it will be elabor-
ately trimmed with lace, the clever
modiste creates garment into which
the lace Is deftly introduced as an
integral part of the gown For a
slender figure she will form lingerie
gown that will represent a rose, and
for a well-developed but moderately
slender form she will design a lily.
This she accomplishes simply by the
arrangement of lace in the MULE or
batiste.
