Less Expensive COINS.

/ There is one thing to be said in favor
OF the expensive materials woven for
gowns this season: It takes little OF
them to make frock, says the Phiia-

The total cost Of the gown is not much
over half what it used TO be when a great
deal more material was needed Of every
kind The scanty One-piece frock with
its seam ID the back and front Is not
over two yards around on the floor.
The bodice is merely a few inches OF

sleeves are Iong in the day frocks and
do not amount 10 more than four inches
