While there Is no doubt Of the case
with which the Victorian costumes
can be made and cut, there Is every
chance I'm the world for the young
woman who makes her own gowns,
to come to grief in the manner which
she chooses to decorate them.
Nine times out of ten she will be
forced to place all embellishments in
