days ago, worn by charming young
woman. The basque waist was of
black satin wrinkling over the hips,
with a collar high in the back held in
place and tied high around the neck
by black velvet ribbon. The skirt
was of black satin and chung close to
the figure. Over this was worn a
redingote tunic of craquele net edged
with deep band of satin ribbon. This
tunic floated away from the figure CIV

impossible for him. to meet his obllga-
tons, Mr.. Sage decided to make an
assignment. ASIDE from the mercan-
