lean idea of what is considered proper

is when a coat of brown net is added
that brilliancy begins. The net in the
coat is coarse, with sufficient body to
give character to the yellow chiffon
slip beneath. It is heavily embroid-

Its character. It sweeps over the
shoulders, down the back and falls in
