ly due the charm of the satin costume
in which it is certain to figure more or
less extensively.
The model sketched is an original con-
ception of this combination of materials,
and at the same time shows a most ar
tistic adaptation of the new swathed
drapery that is odd without being &C.

There is a foundation skirt of moss
green charmeuse with a train. Over this
is hung the fine shadow lace tunic green
beaded, crossed in front and draped into
large knot below the knees in back.
1t is mounted at the waist with evenly
distributed gathers and topped by girdle
of deeper green chiffon swathed about
the waist and extended up into a little
crossed belt in front Two triangular
medallions of heavier lace are tucked into
a draped fold of the girdle.
The corsage has foundation of white
chiffon. and over 1t beaded shadow lace
like that of the tunic skirt is draped TO
form the left half and sleeve, while
heavier lace like that of the mcdal''"ns
