sheathlike Gown Is Opened or sIashed
TO Give an Idea Of Gown Beneath.

The oyergown fashion is distinctive
Of the winter; that is, the sheathlike
gown is open or slashed to give an
idea of a gown beneath. One example
of this shows an embroidery Of
soutache making the top Of the prin-
cess gown, the long sleeves and the
panel descending on the left side of
the skirt to the hem. Starting from
the bust is a drapery plain cloth tying
together over the panel just below the
Knees.
Another example of the same idea
IS Of elephant gray Ottoman silk and
velvet, the silk making the trailing un-
derskirt. The velvet tunic splits un-
der the arms to show the underskirt
and then buttons for few inches just
below the knees. There is an under
guimpe Of tucked tulle. and the velvet
is used in straps over this, two going
over the shoulders and the remainder
about the arms to the elbows. The
sleeves themselves finish with rufles
over the wrists. Soutache motifs close
these straps. and the top of the velvet
skirt Is heavy with embroidery.

she is aware that frequently many of
the charming things said or insinuated
are fattery, and in that sense are not
true. But even so, the mere fact that
she knows their untruth saves her
from putting any great faith in the
statements, and she receives them on
tho basis of its being nicer to hear
pleasant speeches than unpleasant

But the great underlying reason that
woman is willing to be flattercd, even
when she knows the words are not sim

are evoked from a desire to please.
That in itself justif1es the deception, if

of fact most Jockeys carry talismans
