Owns Lovely White
and Blue Fox Furs.

which like her blue fox furs came from
Alaska. incidentally she was the first
young woman in Washington to appear
in white fox at the beginning of the
rage for this very becoming accessory
of a woman's wardrobe. Mrs. Thropp
wore with her going-away gown very
smart little turban, extremely small
and close-itting, with crown of soft
blue silk and coronet band of blue
ribbon, or rather bands, for there are
two. the lower one being simply laid
in folds. the upper one standing up
ward in q full ruff1e effect. The rib
bon forms the only trimming except for
the small ornament on the left front
side, which is of steel and iridescent
blue points.
Among a number of lovely gowns a dain-
ty evening frock that is particularly
fetching, will be seen on this bride. 1t
is of rose pink tafreta, the full skirt
being of irregular outline about the
bottom, which is bound with silver
braid and looped up here and there,
revealing an under petticoat of net orna-
mented with three rows of silver braid,
with here and there tiny bouquet of
rosebudS. ..
The round neck is finished with
fchu Of the net in which are caught more
rosebuds, and the filmy net sleeves hang
in points on the arm.

what the war in Europe has not made
prohibitive, and hence there is seen
return to favor of the standby of some
years ago broadcloth, serviceable
beautiful. conservative and appropriate
for almost every occasion, time and
place.
Many of the handsomest gowns seen
on the leading women of the capital
are of broadcloth, though velvet or
velveteen still hold their own and are
universally becoming.
Mrs. Calf, the Presidents fiancee, is
one who has fondness for velvet. and
she wears a black velvet suit that
suits her amirably.
1t is made on the prevailing long lines,
the coat skirt reaching almost to the knee
and falling in ripping fullness about
the hips.
There is no belt or girdle, but where
the coat skirt is attached to the upper
part of the garment, in other words,
where the belt would be, were there
one. there are in the back empiecements
of embroidery, the conventional pattern
done in silk of rich shade of old gold.
The same embroidery motif is carried
out in the front of the coat in bands
on either side of the opening on the
breast and glimpsed as the back fur
scarf falls open.
A snug-fitting toque of black velvet,
with a soft curling aigrette of black
paradise feathers placed directly in the
front. finishes the costume and gives a
note of jauntiness to it.
