FRENCH DESIGN IS GOOD ONE

Frock of Brown Velvet Is Among the Best of the Ideas That Have Been Imported.

A French frock of brown velvet trimmed with fur appears here. This dainty piece of designing displays all the originality commonly conceded as the attribute of Persian modistes. Following the lifted girdle line which the- gowns of the elders are displaying the girdle of

rich embroidery rounds upward toward the front, where a supplementary piece, with corners tassel-weight-ed, breaks and softens the sharpness of the curve. The plain bodice closes with fur buttons, % band of the same encircling the neck and sleeves and edging the skirt. A close fitting cap with crown of velvet Is fitted to the head by a band of the same embroidery In topes of brown which belts the frock ami ties under the chin with velvet ribbon.
