foliage Of this rose was of q rich

that 1t gave an appearance Of height to

telet was made of old-rose silk, which
had dull surface. and the hem

charming mantelet was worn over a
perfectly plain and very clinging dress
Of black taffetas. 1t was a curious
combination, especially for a young
girl. but entirely successful.
In the same party there was a pref
ty fair girl who was dressed from
head to foot in ivory white. Az
looked at her and noticed the fact that
she attracted universal attention, I
felt more convinced than ever that the
girl, or young married woman. who
early decides on making a speciality
OF white costumes Is exceedingly wise.
1t has long been realized that pure
white costumes give better effects
than any others at such fashionable
resorts as Trouville, Biarritz and San
Sebastian. But It Is not everyone who
realizes that pure white costumes are
eminently suitable for afternoon wear
during the Paris season. White silk
finished linen. white shantung, fine
white serge. To obtain really good eff.
fects great care must be taken to car
ry out the white scheme in every de-
tail; white shoes and stockings, white
gloves, pure white costume and ex-
quisitely fresh white blouse. With
this spotless toilette, large picture
hat could be worn with the best re-
suits.

white costumes do not date them
