wide, lightweight velveteen In marine
blue. This skirt has six round plalta
set on at each side--widening the hip
lines-and this arrangement of the ma.
terlal is borrowed from Paris de-
slgner who introduced II early in the
season. Aside from this small vagary,
1t is plain. The bodice has a plain
back and surplice front filled in with
flesh-colored georgette. One side of
the front is extended into a soft girtile,
finished at the front with handsome
beaded ornament. The long sleeves
have a turned-back frill of velveteen.
The small muller collar is separate
affair that swathes the neck in soft
folds and buttons at the side. 1t may
be taken off indoors.
Satin gowns reveal that their design
ers are more or less devoted TO draped
skirts, the model pictured being among
the simplest of these. In this frock a
smock of satin, split to the waistllne
at the left side, is covered with SUM-
burst pattern and points made of silk
braid couched on. The design is an
Aztec inspiration pure and simple and
n long girdle Of satin ending in tassels
repeats 1t. A plain rundown collar
and deep cuffs of the satin are impor-
tant details in this frock and help to
account for its distinction.

Here are two pretty wall pockets to
hang beside or on the dressing table,
ready to hold whatever their owners
choose TO put in them. Disks of card
board covered with gayly printed rib
bon make the frivolous and dainty
pocket at the left, and 1t is suspended
by plain satin ribbon that ends In
small bows at the sides. At the right
two heart-shaped pieces of cardboard
are covered smoothly with red satin
and fastened together. The edges are
finished with narrow putting of ribbon.
and the same ribbon serves to sus-
pend the pocket. This smooth and
matter-ol-fact affair is evidently in
tended as a gift for man. Two
hearts with but a single pocket are
quite meaniDgful. But one might use
a diamond. a spade or even a club to
make similar pocket, and anyone Of
them will hold deck of cards, score
cards. pencils and such things, or pins,
needles. thimble and thread for
bachelor.
