THIS WEEK'S RECIPE.

FASHION NOTES FROM CANNES.

Silk muslin is one of the dnin- tiest fabrics of the season. One

of the new shades of green in this material is flowered with roses made up with a skirt that had irregular pleats. So many.pleats are close, then a wide one, and then so, many close. The border is strapped with plain material of the same colour as the darker shade of the floral design of the muslin. A long bodice with low waist is strapped with the plału material, and the sleeves are bell also bordered with the plain mus- lin. The neck is rolled out with the plain material over which is worn a collar of real lace..
