Mrs. CondOn's

A Condon Gown has always carried With 1t the stamp of elegance, style and 1 Beautiful workmanship, and this season I Mrs. Condon, who has just returned from
 New York, where she personally selected all her handsome stock of silks, satins, ehinons and trimmings, has one of the most complete lines of dress goods and accessories that has ever been shown in Birmingham.
 With her usual beautiful taste, Mrs Condon has chosen the very latest ma terials with trimmings to match. ele- gant novelties and all the attractive ac- cessores that femininity requires for a perfect gown and at no time has Mrs Condon's large clientele had a greater va
 riety of goods to choose from than now, when nothing has been left undone in the matter of good taste and judgment. Mrs. Condon has some of the hand somest materials ever brought to Bir- date-and if the most fastidious can't be
 pleased with her talent and taste to per- feet colorings and combinations, then it Is useless to try to please.
 Among the most elegant materials shown was combination of heavy Worth" satin to be used as a founda- ton for a most lovely gown of white tulle, embroidered in silver, and crystal.
 The ''all over' silver and crystal embroid-
 cry was shown, to be used as a drapery
 and the crystal and silver bands and
 girdle. delicate and beautiful. were to be combined with the rest. The fiounces
 were to be made of white tulle embroid-
 cred in the crystal and silver.
 A stunning combination for an even
 ing gown to be built over pale pink
 charmeuse, which itself would be draped
 over a shadow lace petticoat was of the
 most stunning brown chiffon. hand em-
 broidered in gold and silver and orchid effects. The corsage could be carried out
 in this design, one shoulder to have
 trimming of fur. the other a strap of
 amber beads. The whole combination
 was effective and novel.
 A navy blue marquisette, combined with leather, was one of the smartest things
 shown by Mrs Condon. The skirt is to
 be built of the navy blue marquisette over leather colored charmeuse. The cor sage carries out the same idea, an intro-
 duction being made, however, of hand some hand-embrodiery in navy blue on the leather colored marquisette. wooden beads and gold threads being interwoven in artistic design.
