arm along the side of the bodice and on

In marked contrast to the white gown
worn by Mrs. Weightman-Waiker at
the opera was a black spangled robe
worn BY Mrs Jimmie Breese.
This gown is shown in Figure c. II

pattern in the spangled embroidery very
elaborate at the bottom.
Mrs. Breese looked very smart OF
course in the dark glitter of her
spangled gown, her hair Swallowed by
a long black Paradise plume which she
wore in her charmingly arranged Golf
fure
The black gown was built over a veil
ing of chiffon upon a soft silk slip, the
design in the spangles glimmering from
the soft darkness OF the background
OF net and chiffon. The gown was built
with a real baby waist. which became
abbreviated in the hack to meet the re-
quirements CT an Empire skirt. A wide
black satin girdle lent an even more
shirt waisted appearance TO the gown
and the baby effect was carried out In

the bottom by a band of black velvet
ribbon that dropped down across the
arm and tied in bow on the outer
side. What more simple in the way Of
a sleeve could be devised2 Yet, assure
you, the effect was exquisite.
The necl; of this gown was cut very
square, with a border of real daee
stretched across the front IN a cheTni-
settle and continued up over the shoulder
in a mere tiny edge of white. Between
the chemisette and the shirred top OF
the spangled net bodice band Of black
velvet ribbon was arranged. Below this
the spangled net was gathered quite
full and below the satin girdle the
cleaning lines of net hung in flowing
folds to the feet and trailed at the
back.
