FROM A SCRAP OF VELVET

Extremely Pretty Bodice Covering May Be Devised for Dress of Net or Lace. y Have you a piece of velvet about a half yard long? Do not throw it away, especially if you are planning a dress of net or lace for evening. Make a bodice covering that resembles the breast armor of the ernsaders. It need only come on the front of the dress, with a very short peplum effect at the lower edge. The upper part can he cut In two points that come over the shoulders. To make this curious piece of velvet a part of the gown, cut slots around the lower part of the cuirass, buttonhole them and run a sash of silk that thatches the color of the velvet through the slots. Tie it at the back in a loose bow with ends that hang down to the hem. Pale blue, pink, yellow or black on white Is a distinctive touch that a scrap of velvet will add.
