GRACEFUL IN DESIGN

COSTUME Of grey charmeuse PARTICULARLY APPEALING. Embodies All the Best Style Features of the Season—Hat and Parasol to Match Add Brightness-to the Tollette. A costume shown here of grey charmeuse must appeal’ everyone of refined taste. The style features of the season are embodied in it, and it is designed along very graceful lines, following those of the figure cleverly. The draped skirts are bunglesome and ungraceful except when managed carefully. Such good management is shown in this base. The round with turn-back collar admits a guimpe of lace if desired. The drop shoulder joins a small puffed sleeve terminating

in a turn-back cuff. The collar and cuffs are made of brocade matching the gown in color. The modest split or curved seam at the left is about ankle high. Grey silk stockings and satin slippers are worn with the gown. A finishing touch is shown in the hat and parasol made to match. They brighten the toilette delightfully. The hat is of leghorn with a drapery of checked silk and trimming of broad velvet ribbon with a big cluster of roses at the back. For this particular gown the combination could not be better. The silk is in black and white check with cerise border and the roses are in shades of cerise mounted with broad velvet ribbon in black.
