eight inches above the skirt hem.
Through both these hens is run soft
green satin ribbon and the tNnic is en-
broidered with a very deep border of disks
in graduated sizes. the disks heinG done
with white floss and outlined wth green.
More of this white and green embroidery
crosses the bodice and extends out on
the sleeve. and the sasl is of white silk
lined with green silk. The new sashes
are. of course. really girdles, with knot
tel ends. heavily weighted at the bottom.
Nothing of a iiuttering nature is per-
mitted.
Another pretty green and white frock
in the same window has a tunic of the
yelling. embroidered with green. which is

There is a good deal OF talk about the
new Charlotte Corday costume. but this
costume maintains the high-waisted. mar
row-skirted lines familiar now, and no
costume by any name whatsoever is go

radical change in styles is introduced.
Charlotte Corday lived during the days
of the French revolution. when extreme
simplicity in dress was adhered to by
princess and peasant alike. At that time

lead from ones shoulders. The Corday
frocks have very straight. narrow skirts.

the COrday gown there is its salient fea-

referred to was as much part of Wom-

material is not cut away at all at the
sides or at front or back. If it is. the
