REVIVING AN OLD CUSTOM

Hand-Painted Decorations Recall What la Known as the “Victorian . Period.” Pussy willow green taffeta, with hand-painted butterfles in black and orange flitting across its surface, is used here for an enchanting full-skirt-ed costume of the late Victorian period. The little coat, lace frilled, is

quaintly in keeping, and so is the broad leghorn hat with drooping brim. The parasol, the new Vanity Fair as it is called, is of pompadour taffeta, with a trimming of green taffeta.
