It was for her to repress her en-

She had said at lunch before tho
game that she had promised her faith

exciting afternoon. and she showed

However. she has let her enthusiasm

her in the choice OF two gowns In
blue. Naturally. the colors arc not
exact. but they are notifications of
the shades used by the two sets of
lighters.
The Vatican blue gown Is especial
ly lovely with its pink roses at the
belt and it's body drnpery Of silver
lace. The tone of this blue tafreta is

The pink gown which Mr.. McAdoo
will like Is in soft and brilliant
fabric known rs satin d'Amour. The
skirt touches the floor, and rs trimmed
down the front with two crossed
bands OF silver lace. There is n nai

The bodice Is draped in surplice eff
