blouse cut a little longer and shrred to form its
very charming many figures As matter Of

or linen and plain or howered materials can be
trimmed on their edges If a bordered fabric is not
liked There are lovely lowered voes that make
charming dresses after this model with the edges

bands of black velvet ribbon for trimming or with
ruches ruifies with bands Of the taffeta for
