The luxurious teagown pictured to-
day is part of the trousseau of an Eng
lish bride and was made by Jeanne
Hallee in Paris. The drapery of val
enciennes lace is effectively arranged
to give stately lines. and there is
suggestion of pannier drapery at the
sides. near the foot. Under the lace
is a trailing gown OF faint blue pom
padour silk. with little flower sprays
in pink and lilac. This silk is softly
yelled with white chiffon and the
sleeves are merely wide pleatings or
chiffon, which fall back from the arm.
The combination Of lace with chiffon
yelled pompadour silk is exquisitely
lovely and the print can give no con-
ception of the delicate, beautiful col
oring.
For wear with trousseau teagowns
of this sort there are fascinating lit
tie high heeled mules of satin with
hand painted designs on the toe. One
may have her monogram or her Initials

CupidS, or any preferred design.
