one woman said, but must "grow"
from the motifs applied over the inner
edge of each rever. or cords and tas-
sells will frequently accomplish this
end.
The long ends Of these revers can
be weighted down by tassels. Jeweled
/ buttons are seen on some of the
French mpdels and sometimes the
soft ends are crossed and attached on
each side of the front by hooks.
A comparatively plain bodice can
be brought into a distinctive class
! by the addition of these graceful re-
vers. There is no pitfall of good
tailoring. difficult stitching. and shap-

decorative end and eliminates trouble

CINCINNATI, Nov. 1.-THE corner

The latter makes the water delight
