TRAXSPAREST WRAP' WORN AT MONTE CARLO. Dozens of handsome wraps, transparent enough to reveal the gown beneath, were seen on the Riveria thfs spring and especially at Monte Carlo were these handsome and effective wraps the rule. This garment is rather like the old-fashiond dolman with! its seamless shoulder and sleeve effect' old its loose lines. Black net elaborately braided with soutache and weighted with heavy silk fringe makes a stemming combination, and the gown beneath of ehantilly lace over green satin increases the sumptuous character of the wrap.
