ALICE LL0YD'S GOWNS.

Ten trunks form the personal baggage
array Of Alice Lloyd. Englands greatest
singing eomedienne, at Chases this
week.
They are filled TO overlooking, almost,
with the latest French and English
modes, ana Miss Lloyd employs one
maid entirely in selecting and packing
them, the two processes they undergo in
every city she visits.
When it is known that Miss Lloyds
repertoire of comic lyrics contains fully
100 songs, and that she has a different
costume for each. the extent of her sar-
torial riches is indicated.
All follow the mobile" line closely. Three
of the gowns are but half yard around
the bottom. They are not made with a
band forming the hobble, but are cut in
straight lines, narrowing toward the
ankle. Some look ike a trouser leg. The
combination OF colors is striking. one
is a deep coral pink, covered IN navy
blue chiffon with brilliant buttons. There
Is a peach messaline, over which is a
cinnamon brown chiffon, and a white
with black chiffon This is very hand
some. A light blue chiffon is gorgeous.
II is trimmed with bands of embroidery
in the same shade and finished of with
two enormous tasses. One pink frock is
what the tender sex would call sWeetly
pretty. The bodice is composed entirely
Of tuCks. each outlined with a row of
diamonds. There are blues and pinks; in
fact, gowns of every hue. Needless to
say Miss Lloyd viii be a dress sensation
everywhere. Each gown has a hat in
harmony One hat of blue satin covered
in willow plumes with touch of coral is
lovely. Two of the longest willow
plumes made adOrn an enormous black
velvet shape. Caps of lace and satin add
TO this eXtravagant sartorial stage set
ting.
