a beautiful wide floral design ran In deep
points between the dotted ground and the
plain black. .
Heavy Irish lace wa set deeply around
the bottom Of the skirt, running up on
the black border, but the full skirt was other
wise plain, save for the design Of the
material. The semi Empire effect was OBJ
tanned by q short wasted girdle OF glace
tafeta in several blended shades, repeating

ready made frocks are handled, and the
dressmakers are busying themselves with

lavish and attractive supply Of lightweight

have put upon the market. This supply In

the standard claimed for it in all re-
spects. 1t had the finest lot of trained
