out in midnight blue tricotine. The skirt,
a circular model, is trimmed with bands
Of fiat black silk braid, put on in groups.
The braid, however, is rich and simple In
design 10 that il dogs not detract from the
general simplicity Of the frock. The arm
holes are almost square. with a very
straight line at the front. Into these
immense aTmholes are set flowing sleeves
Of self-material which, in turn, have
puffs OF tomato red Canton crepe gathered
into wristbands Of the same material
stitched with black and gold braid. Red,
