GOWN OF SHANTUNG.

A smart gown seen recently at a sea.
The bodice was of flet net in a palei
tone of rose over silk of the same
shade. 1t was cut out square in the
neck and finished with narrow bands
of embroidered net and a soft pleated
ruching of tulle.
The right sleeve was of this net over
silk and the left one was of the shan
tung. for the gown was draped around
the figure and up to the left shoulder
In tunic fashion.
Both sleeves were oddly trimmed
with embroidered net which was
wrapped around them from the under
side and Tapped over between elbow
and wrist where small rose silk crochet
buttons were used al trimming.
A pointed piece of the embroidered
net formed a shield or the right side
of the bodice, coming well up above
Joined to this under a row of these
same little buttons.
The tunic-like skirt was cut In wide
scallops just at the knee and trimmed
with buttons, and the lower part of the
skirt was attached to this without any
f~ullness. A wide band of embroidered
net was put on the long skirt six inches
from the hem.
A scarf OF black tulle hung from the
left shoulder nearly TO the hen of the
frock, the end hanging to the front
finished with a black silk tasseL.
The hat worn with this costume was
a huge affair of black chip trimmed
with black velvet ribbon and masses of
long feathery rose al rettes to match
the color of the shantung.
