Simplicity of line and richness of material make this gown, the distinc- tive model that it is.
 The waist crossing over in diagonal style makes a dignified aprpoach to the rather low waist line with the aid of a row of self-covored buttons, and extends down on one side with the suggestiveness of a wide sash end. But the regular belt is narrow and knotted indifferently at the left side with two long ends reaching almost to the bottom of the skirt. Of course, it has the latest length of sleeves and in all minor details is quite "up to the minute.'
 Made of fashions favorite, duvetyn in the popular snuff shade, it can't very well help being an extremely smart gown.
