of the social dictator's costume.
The frank. sweet face OF one Of our

wonderful advantage under her

and dove shot velvet with its crown

band of which edged its upturned
brim. Her canteen mum and square
tail-fringed cape Of squirrel were also
lined with the shot velvet.
Quite original was the three-piece
suit of dark green checked velours
worn at a recent benefit by the slen-
der dark wife Of a lately promoted
officer of the Signal Corps. A broad
girdle of dark green velvet enriched
the coat, while the skirt. which was
adapted for separate blouses. had a
novel jumper of the velvet which
continued into a panel down the
front of the skirt. A severe little
round hat OF the green velvet was
decorated with a short ostrich tip
and supported a snug square meshed
veil with a design Of trailing vines.
Leading her spirited, intelligent
Belgian police dog was a slim, grace
full girl whose dark eyes have been
playing havoc among our most
eligible young reserve officers. One
knew that Cheruit must have thought
out her tunic OF platinum-gray vel
vet, medievally straight and braided
just a little bit and then put 1t over1
a narrow. plated skirt OF dove char
meuse with narrow bands OF velvet
at the hem line. A dropping hat of
gray velvet was faced with corbeau
blue an had a wreath OF quite I'M
necessary blue wool forget-me- -nots
twining lovingly around its crown.
A striking example OF chic and
grace was noted in the person of a
prominent clubwoman who has done
much toward furthering the harmony
Of the organizations with which she
is identified. The frock part of her
charming three-piece of taupe velour
boasted sleeves. a jaunty sash and
bodice sides OF gray satin. This
satin was embroidered In a maze of
gray silk thread on the bodice. The
coat. which finished the costume. was
of taupe velour. collared and cuffed
with taupe nutria and finished with
taupe cords and covered velour but
tons.
A black-eyed maiden, who is very
fond of severely tailored clothes, wore
an Amazonally simple suit OF gray
English mixed cloth fastened with a
single button, and with a row of
gray bone buttons down the side of
the narrow skirt. A ~horsey white
pique stock and a waistcoat of gray
wool velvet WED for the honor of
the most becoming accessory, while
deftly poised gray beaver tricorne
emphasized its wearer's bright cheeks
and dark locks.
