costumes of this dressy character. The
bodice shows a panel arrangement and
braiding in self-color, the little yoke and
collar being also braided to match. The
simplicity and grace of this little frock
are its greatest charm, though the soft
coloring and silky fabric give 1t great
richness. The costume is completed by

same flowers, being grouped about it.
Slender brass chains-or even cords-are

fabric being once more in high favor for
costumes of great elegance. The new vel

the colorings are wonderful, some of the
deep vendage, or grape harvest tones. and
the rich greens and beautiful marine and
annunciation blues being artistic in the
extreme. In Drecolfs creation the velvet
is combined with wolfe ninon, an OPEN
mesh fabric heavier than marquisette yet
soft as chiffon. DrecOlls costume includes
a velvet coat in the belted Russian style
and a trailing frock-the frock being
