put this over. If any of you feel that
he has been offended i will offer an

new. They have been used for several
seasons in very much the same way
that they are used today.

summary evening gowns-and adds that
enormous quantities of the tulle are
needed because some of the founced
and draped skirts have eight LAYERS of
fine tulle at the back drapery of the
skirt. But tuile-especially light tulle
is distressingly fragile. 1t Is not a
wise choice for the gown that must be
worn often. And the new light tones
Of tulle have veritable affinity for
dust and SCOT. 1t is all one can do
not to have them grow q little dingy
about the edges of the drapery in the
course of few preliminary fittings.
Even in light tones chiffon is much
more serviceable.
This weeks circular gives a sketch
OF new fringed skirt drapery arrange
ment. The fringe is attached to a
removable wide hip yoke and may be
worn or left off to suit the occasion.
Several readers have asked for direc-
tons for making fringe at home and
this information is included in the
circular-because the cost of the silk
needed is very much less than the cost
of the fringe If you would like copy
