French Toilettes

THE toilet at the left is of black and white checked wool. Tho skirt is composed of two breadths cut on the bias and trimmed wjth straightway bands of the material. The blouse has a yoke of the material which is cut in one piece with the sleeves and trimmed with the straightaway bands, also with folds of yellow satin and buttons. The girdle is of black liberty and the little guimpe, hardly more than a collar, is of embroidered batiste or lace. The blouse fastens in the back. The other toilet is of dark blue cloth. The upper part of the skirt is slightly gathered and is finished with

a deep plain flounce which is set on with a beading and trimmed v?ith braid. The blouse is made with radiating box plaits which open out and is encircled about midway with a tuck, above which, at the sides, are straps of the braid with insertions of red velvet. The girdle is made like tho straps and the blouse is finished around the neck with the braid and a fold of the red velvet. . The sleeves are cut in one pieco with the body of the waist and are finished with turnover cuffs of tho material. The long, close-fitting undersleeves and the guimpe are of laco.
