had the first frost that had any effect
on vegetation. 1t was a genuine
white frost covering everything out
of doors. Monday night was the cold
est night we have had this season
so cold that ice was made to the
thickness of an eighth of an inch.
This is slight reminder that winter
is approaching and it is about time
to make arrangements for it.

With this dress was shown a charm
ing Dutch costume of white broad
cloth. The jacket was made like a
full box jacket, the fullness in the
back ripping in deep p'eats. The col
lar, cuffs and band around the bot
tom Of the jacket were curly white
lamb. When the jacket was removed
the dress underneath showed a short
jacket of blue broadcloth braided with
white braid. Around the edges was
an inch band Of the fur. This was
worn over rather full waist. The
skirt had fullness disposed of in
pleats around the waist and when the
hands were placed in the cunning side
pockets and held away from the
body the Dutch peasant effect was
most pronounced. One almost expec

Military Effect Given This By Frogs
ideas from many periods were com
bined with up-to-date styles to give
variety in the costumes. For instance
the drooped shoulder effect was
shown many times with skirts so full
and ripply that they gave the ap-
pearance of being over hoops. A
dress of distinctly modern silk and
with the newest basque effect in front
had dropped waistline in the back
and a real hustle! You couldn't mis-
take it!
Rich silks, brocaded, plain and
ribbed, chiffon, silk net, beaded net,
cloth of gold and silver were the ma
tclialS used for the evening gowns,
which were a prominent feature of
&he exhibition.
Broadcloth, velour, duvetyne and
velvet developed the street suits and
dresses.
The skirts were full short, even the
skirts to the evening dresses. Incon-
sistent as fashion often is in these
dresses they were sometimes short
and yet with train at the back! One
evening dress was made of a peculiar
green, almost a peacock shade, COW
erred with a scrolly design which gave
"a watered finish to the material. The
waist was made with a shallow v
in the front and high in the back. The
skirt was short and slashed in the
front. In the back the skirt was
slightly longer than in front, but the
whole appearance was shorter than
we have been accustomed to. From
the shoulders hung a long and mar
row train of beaded net, which did not
ar"ach the dress any place but the
llders.
