extremely pretty matron, and her gown is
one created with unusual distinction. Built

velvet, it is draped after a Beer design
that is supremely modish. The pink satin
lining shows with an indescribably love-
| ly effect through the draperes about the
| hips. A fimy lace is introduced about
the feet and almost composes the corsage;
narrow white fur encircled with rhine
| stones borders the draperies both on
bodice and skirt Mrs. Kidd carried a
| bouquet of pink specimen chrysanthe-
NUNS.

| Charles LutZ, are becoming delightfully."-
identified with society though much of
| their time since becoming residents of the
city has been spent in the north.
