The conventional white stock IL
no longer the rule, and tho new
stocks are striped in q fine pin
line or have st,all figures of horse

A MOTHER popular model II the
fur-trimmed gown. and I saw .
very attractive fur-trimmed affair
at NJ. Pastsrnak's Connecticut
Avenue Shop. The fabric used for
tho gown was rainbow tinted chiffon
brocaded In gold. Bands of black
flying squirrel border tho bottom Of
tho shirt and the long wide sleeves.

doesn't care for elaborate deoora-

TO wear with the Afternoon gown
tho very small or tho very large

WITH the approach Of the holi-
