they are. There is a straight, slightly
draped skirt and below this are at

three or four inches deep and 'sufi-

loon. That these cuff-pantafoons should
not escape the attention of Observers
they are embroidered deliberately In
high colors, exactly to match the en-
broidery on the dress. A further stris-
ing note is added when the ,wearer
has slippers embroidered In exactly
the same pattern. ~.
