She floated into the offee like a ship in full sall. Her age it was impossible to guess, even ap- proximately. Her clothes were long and voluminous.

Infinitely feminine, charming and new in at least three ways is this Paris creation. First, it is made of sheer, pure white organdie and tulle, than which nothing could be more summery or dainty. Second, its silhouelle is one of the future, the true princess line with a long skirt that trails gracefully behind. Third, it takes the vogue for. ruching trim seriously and uses, two, three and four rows of tulle ruching to re-rule its flaring, feminino skirt A double ruching outlines the neck and falls like a lel. This frock would make a smart bridesmaid style, done in pastel shades and topped by a floppy hat.
