white gloves.
Another handsome gown. also seen on the
stage at the same theater. and also
Redfern creation. shows a taffeta coat
coming little more than half way between
the waist and the knees over plated
and tucked chiffon skirt.
The coat has palm leaves in delicate tints
on it's snowy surface, and is laid in plaits
in the front above the belt. but hangs per-
fectly smooth below the belt about the
hips, falling away from the widest part
of the hips in folds. the model being the
the coat has each side front laid in three
backward-turned plaits, and at the top
there is narrow, circular collar or clel
blue velvet. cut in scallops and edged with
rather scant two-inch rufile of point
d'Alencon The edge of the velvet collar ls
finished with a cloth-ofgold fold and gold
embroidery. The sleeves end above the
elbows They are large puffs and have
turned back. fiaring cuffs of ciel blue vel
vet. edged at the top with gold embroidery
Long gloves cover the arm to point above
the termination of the sleeves.
The side fronts of the palm leaf SILK
coat do not meet. but stop far enough
from the center to show to the fullest ad-
vantage a three-uuarter fitting waistcoat
of cel blue velvet bordered with cloth OF
gold and gold embro derry in little curlicues
at three-:nch intervals. the waistcoat clos
ing invisibly. The stock and little vest
attached to it are of point d'Alencon over
white chiffon.
The iupe is a trailing one of lavender
CHI ffon laid in fine plats and having about
a dozen half-inch tucks an inch and a half
apart from the knees down. The extreme
edge of the skirt is finished by quilted
ruche of the chiffon.
An effective Grecian robe on empire lines
worn by Mile. Megard is charming for a
statuesuue figure, but the arms should be
beautiful in any event, rounded and taper
ing. with beautiful shoulder curves and
delicate wrists.
The robe is mousseline de sole in laven-
der over another of the same material but
of different hue.
The gown begins in round-necked yoke
of fine white lace, gathered at the top by
a narrow drawing ribbon of a darker shade
of velvet and this is tied little to one
side This yoke effect with its round neck
has quite the cut of robe de mutt, but
the rest of the garment offsets this sugges-
ton. Straight across the body in both the
back and the front and tapping at the top
edge over the lace yoke is band of cloth
of gold ribbon. At each side, also, going
up over the shoulders are similar bands
a bit narrower, and where these cross the
horizontal bodice bands is set a rosette in
cloth of gold. These shoulder bands have

tween them and the neck but at the outer
edge there is nothing until below the
shoulder curve, and there the sleeves are
set in. These sleeves are open at the top,
dropping at both the back and the front
and showing the curve of the shoulders
and the arms half way to the elbow. They
are folds of the lavender or purplish

a foundation of the green mousseline. These
sleeves droop we'll over the elbows and
