THE new crepe de chine capes and
dresses are so good looking. I saw
Elizabeth Ross in pretty one a few
days ago. 1t was black and simply
made, and she was wearing II over q
black crepe de chine dress, the skirt |
cf which was covered with a red COIN
dotted material. It's hard to describe,
hut 1t was most attractive.
Margaret Earle has dress and
cape of black canton crepe. The dress
has no trimming except little open
work around the neck, and the cape Is |
lined with sand -colored crepe de chine. |
When l saw her she was wearing two |
long strings of small pearls with the
dress. and black straw hat with pale |
yellow flowers across the front. Sand !
colored stockings and patent leather |
sandals completed her costume and It !
was very becoming
