Every up-to-date woman knows the
necessity Of a smart gown which may
be worn with equal propriety at church
or when making afternoon calls. The
model shown answers this description pre-
cisely, being of the dignified type which
every woman of taste admires. Tobacco
brown chiffon broadcloth was used for
modelling all0ver lace, brown Ottoman
silk and gold buttons being chosen for
its ornamentation. The waist (275g is
made in oveTblouse effect, the guimpe
being simulated by facings Of lace over
the silk lining. Two half-inch tucks on
either side of front and back insure the
slight fullness necessary over the bust,
while the blouse is gathered easily into
the belt at the waistline. The sleeves
may be made in either of three lengths.
