are done this way: The little petals
Of taffeta in many soft pastel colorings
are cut from the silk and fastened on
the white background In a series which
makes sort Of rosy. leafy pattern. The
raw edges of the petals are held down
with rows of rat-tail braid Chat braid
which has hump on its surface every

frock the appearance of having rose
leaves scattered over Its surface by
some sudden summer breeze. The eff

with a binding of the material that
makes the gown. 1t Is new sort Of
finish, which has been used a lot upon
crepe dresses this winter, but which
looks even more attractive on the more
transparent materials.
Sleeves are either very wide and
