A pale corn color has an empire waist on which the skirt is gathered, the large puff starting at the elbow on black velvet ribbons. Other ribbons are sewed to the edge of the yoke and tie over the shoulders with long loops. A pale green gown has & long Priscllla bodice with ribbons of the same color tied about the waist. The sleeves are tight and slightly puffed at the top. Yet the prettiest of all Is a dainty pink, to be worn with a white mull gimpe! The sleeves are also of mull. The skirt is gathered to a white silk band embroidered In pink rosebuds that crosses between the shoulders both back and front. Similar bands form epaulets, arranged in such a way that they are easily removed when the gown is to be laundered. They are washed In naphtha, and when the gown is washed they, too, are fresh.
