The slightly rounded neck is bor-
dered by a dainty collar of beige
georgette and lace, and the long
fitted mousquetaire sleeves are trim
med with several circling lows of
red braid edged with silver. and are
ouffed in blue fox fur. Additional
strips of silvered red braid circle the
lower part of the skirt five or six
times, and a wider band of fur adds
an attractive border to the hem. Two
bright red plaques fastened together
with a shiny black clasp are placed
on the corsage to add the final bit
of trimming.
An unusual evening gown is of
bright yellow chiffon, fashioned with
a sleeveless basque bodice and a full.
gathered skirt. A flowerlike motif
in sapphire blue and green is hand
painted on this simple foundation,
and the effect is both novel and
pleasing, for many of the odd little
flowers and leaves are outlined in
beads of matching hues, which
sparkle elusively as the light catches
them for a moment. The upper part
of both bodice and skirt is left un-
adorned, SO that the contrast of the
painted fabric is more striking.

Thou grief-worn spirit of the summer day,
Filling the leafy wood with thy complaint,
Whilst the bright sunshine falls along thy way
Thy woe is heavy and thy spirit faint.
But when sad twilight trails her darking course

Thy soul draws strength from refreshing source
And lifts a tender hymn of praise and prayer.
Yet spite thy strange antipodean moods
l love thy langud music in the woods.
