worn by very young girls with 1 'dress. Long ends ornament everything— fringes, ribbons and pendant ornaments. A new sleeve has a long, tight, wrinkled cuff and a fnll puff above the elbow. linen button* embroidered are moat attractive on gowns of tbe same material. Be vers of white ’linen embroidered la red used on a gray serge gown are stylish. To get a really original chain return to your childish days and string your own beads. “*■ Call it gauging, shirring, cording or what you will—only so you have it on your frocks. Dainty, fluffy Utile revere are a becoming finish to some chemises and nightgowns. It's an oddly complexioned woman wbo does not look well in one of tbe many violet shades.
