SUITED TO THE DEBUTANTE

Dancing Frock Patterned After One That Was Worn by Empress Josephine. ________ i These mid-season frocks have the same straight, Slim lines, with little surplice bodices above a high sash or girdle which were noticeable In the earlier costumes. From Callot has come one of the sweetest little debutane frocks of the year—a dancing frock patterned after a little morningcostume worn by Empress Josephine in the days when Napoleon was first captivated by her slim loveliness, r Josephine’s dress —like all the costumes of those lax- days—was very thin and very, very transparent and was so narrow and straight that it revealed the slender, rounded limbs beneath with the frankness of a veiled statue; but, of course, the Callot reproduction Is more in keeping with the customs of later times. Here is 'the quaint little -high-waisted frock with long sleeves to the wrist and a perfectly straight, narrow skirt, but this little frock, made of very fine pure-white lace, falls over an equally straight, narrow slip of palest pink satin. Around the high waist-line, reaching from just beneath the bust to almost the natural waistline, is a broad girdle of the pink satin bordered at the top with a line of pink rosebuds, and at the back sash ends fail from this girdle to just below the hip.—Jean Carrington’s Fashion Article in Columbian.
