II need not necessarily be an elab-

artist friend Of mine the other day
in a house gown that / thought was
particularly appropriate and decidedly
chic. When she entered her studio
she took off her street gown and put
on over her petticoat (she still wears
~petticoats) a long belted tunic of per-
Gale, blue with a little white figure
in it. This had a perfectly plain XII
mono waist with elbow sleeves and a
square neck. front and back.
The belt was very large. giving the
tunic almost the appearance Of hang
ing from the shoulders. The skirt
was long and narrow and just folded
over ON one side with rounded cor
ners. Ny friend is a very pretty girl
and she looked splendid in this plain
house dress.
