lace and strap it across at intervals with pale blue
velvet tied in small bows drawn thru small steel
buckles piping the collar with the blue also, else,
lay round yoke, running down the v of pale
blue silk overlad with lace just you prefer,
adding cuffs to the sleeves you have chosen for
the waist. The black briantine may be made really
stylish by simply trimming the bottom with three
rows of black fibre braid, each ending few
inches from the center Of front gore, in simple
motif curlyeue. The waist should be cut out for
with chemisettes either round square, as pre-

Of braid will trim the top of the waist and, If
the sleeves long, trim from elbow to wrist with
sleeves

corsage skirt, which will well become you, gathered
to fit the waist line and trimmed the bottom with
couple of folds the top Of the gown being finished
with band of lace With this wear your waist of
thin silk simply made with pintucking about the top
