The three models illustrated fail to reveal the shimmering", opalescent silks and fluffy billows of tulle that drape and redrape the skirts and form the chic little butterfly sleeves. The one on the extreme left is a "Lucele" model in Nile green pussy willow taffeta. The skirt is draped with yards and yards of tulle, caught in bouffant effect with tiny pink rose buds; the dainty sleeves are also of tulle. One lone word would not describe the color of the model to the right at first we thought it peach, then golden, and then apricot but every shift of light reveals new wonderful tints. The lace underdrape is edged with gold. The dress to the extreme right is of blue taffeta, white lace and tulle. , The model most becoming to you may be the first selected, so drop in as soon as. possible.
