that Widens toward the waist line of the
cloth. Silver loops of cord extend from

space between the silver panels is wide and
plain cloth only is seen.

in box plaits of the cloth, over which the
sides of the skirt lap. Down the center

overlapping section and go over the cabo-

on the bodice, the lower edge reaching to
the knee line.
This panel effect widens as it gets nearer

The silver side panels end six inches from
the edge of the robe, and they are sixteen
inches wide at the broadeSt portion, taper

widening 10 ten inches under the arms.
The design is of silver network and long,
feather-shaped mcdallions in cord and
gauZe.
In the back the robe is plain from the
chemisette to the hem. The proper fullness
is given by underlying boXplaits, beginning
just below the waist line in the back.
The sleeves are single puffs of cloth, end
ing three inches above the elbows under
cuffs of silver gauze over plain cloth, the
gaGze being laid on In narrow folds going
around the arms Silver lace is gathered
to form friIls that end at the outside of the
arm, the lace standing straight out some
two inches from the arms and the ruched
top coming at the inside seam. There are
two of these on each sleeve, one under the
arm, the other on the top.
An inch back from the ruched edge are
three small fiat silver cabochons, forming
a straight row down the inside of each arm.

braid, one ecru and the other a golden
