made so 1t would serve many pur.
poses.
Nut-brown pongee and two-piece
suit pattern were used for the de-
velopment of the travelling dress.
The skirt, instead of adhering strict
ly to the walking length, cleared the
ground by only one and one-half
finches, which made it more appro-
pirate for the many occasions IL was
designed for. Small-tucks closely
arranged at the top of the sides and
back but giving panel effect in
front, adjusted the fullness in very
graceful manner, below which II fell
IN becoming folds. A deep hem, dec
Grated with many rows of machine
stitching, finished the bottom of the
skirt, which measured about FIVE
yards and one-fourth at the lower
edge.
| The coat was a cut-away, one of
the smartest styles of this season.
The closing laps In double-breasted
style, but slopes gradually away from
the top button, the fronts being cut
away below the lowest button. A
hat-band collar of velvet decorated
the neck and cuffs, a mode of decor
alton which would make the suit
timely for the autumn. The blouse
worn under the coat was q tucked
white lawn in tailor finish, with
high collar and bow and long sleeves.
When worn in the afternoon on an
occasion demanding a more dressy
effect, there was a coffee colored lace
blouse OF Irish crochet and filet lace,
and a third blouse with Dutch neck
and elbow sleeves was of cream
French batiste, valenciennes trim
med. Inaddition, there was an over
blouse of the pongee, and bretelles
of the panne velvet in brown.
The second costume was made OF
French gray voile in the over blouse
style, to which a very smart effect
was given by black velvet pipings.
The skirt was fashioned by a most
attractive model. having inlaid plaits
piped with black velvet. II touched
the floor in front and at the sides,
with slight fall in the back of two

drawn over in surplice style, the
sleeves in kimono effect, and all
| edges piped with the black velvet.
Three large silver buttons decorated
the front closing. On such occasions
when hat must be worn, there wes

and black plumes falling over the
hair at the left side. Gray gloves
and shoes would. OF course, accom-
pany the costume.
The third gown was OF printed
taffeta showing fawns, old pink and
q touch OF blue. The half princess |
model was used in It's development. |
the cores being shaped to fit the hips |
and waist smoothly below which |
were let in narrow panel pieces with
upward-curved tops. The skirt was
very full around the bottom, falling |
about the feet and slightly trained.
The blouse was of pink silk, draped
with fawn gray yelling and the bo-
lero that accompanied 1t was of
fawn satin with insets of fawn lace
over pink silk, and blue ornaments.
This gown was intended for more
formal wear, and an extra blouse for
evening wear of the silk and cream
lace, having low neck and short
sleeves was a thoughtful addition.
The shritwalst suit was of blue
linen. trimmed with white braid and
made in the most severe style. The

dressed. Everything was planned
with an eye to durability, cleanliness
and lack of trouble during a few
weeks to the exposition.
