Show V . 5- . Vne Tea Gown. . . "The tea gown, of all other gown-lngs, gown-lngs, is most prone to poetize a woman's beauty, "says a writer in The St James Budget of London. "So keenly have we of the weaker sex taken this fact to heart that we have gradually promoted it to a dinner dress, or, to use the French term, a robe d'interieure. In oar epoch time is more precious than rubies, and after an exhausting day wa should consider our guests a nuisance were it not that we can don corsetless flowing robes which soothe us into repose re-pose while they enhance our charms. A cunningly combined deshabille is far more fetching than the most studied attire, at-tire, and now the tea gowns are made of tha loveliest and richest materials, slightly ckscollete at the neck to allow as to wear them at the theater if the fancy moves us to take our friends there I after a small dinner party." |
