Over this a plain short-sleeved bodice
and short tunic OF quaker lace is worn,
confined at the waist with twisted
velvet girdle. Velvet ribbon Is
draped on the skiEt under the lace
tunic In a clever sash arrangement.
The sleeves are edged with a narrow
fancy cotton edging.
The remaining dress OF the three is
made OF q lightweight satin, with
plain underskirt and tunic set on to
yoke. A plain short waist Of the
satin is sleeveless.
The chic coatee OF renaissance lace,
made of lace braid wrought into floral
patterns with lace stitches, is the
dominant feature in this charming
gown for the oldest of the three young
buds. Lace Of this kind is handmade,
and except for the difference in the
braids used, is much like battenberg
lace. which so many women know
how to make for themselves.
