The sheath gown has been declared
an old timer and the Mermaid dress
of shimmering green, made still tight
er than the sheath, has taken it's place
to Washington to display it at a tail
orS' convention. The cut of the dress,
for those with strong imagination,
produced the effect of the lady down
under the sea. 1t is economical of ma
terial-not containing so many inches
of cloth as the sheath gown, and per-
haps trif1e more than the Salome.
1t weighs three pounds and can be
cared about in Uneeda wafer box.
1t was made of steel net over satin,
embroidered in turquoise. jet and
coral. At the back the overskirt is
designed to look like a fish tail and
protruding beyond is a train of green
satin that is supposed to look snaky
and clammy. 1t is a wonderful Gre
alton, but it has a few drawbacks. Its
wearer can't sit down in tit is too
tight-she must be tall and slim, and
she must have small feet at any cost
The conditions are hard and should
| only be imposed in the way-of PEN
ance.
