AM fiendlng you this week a few ol the newest , (
real faBhlons from abroad. These beautiful plo . i
tures wHl show you the latest no, the newest
tendencies of the Spring fashions, and I am
siye that you will agree with mo In thinking them rarely 1
beautiful. Every woman who longs to be considered -.
chio will be guided by these tendencies when she plans
her Spring wardrobe.
To bo individual -end at the B&mo time to be picturesque
is the highest art. For instance, notice the really beau
tiful picture gowns that I am showing you. this, week.
They are likoiTSOthlng more than the quaint llttie pic
tures that beautify the' old-fashioried bandboxes, end I
call them tny "Bandbox 4resses" 'to thoso who under
stand. The Shepherdess dress In the first picture la a de

I am showing you another even
ing costume this week. In this I
have allowed my love for the
Bumptuous and gorgeous full play.
There is a time for simplicity
and also a time for extravagance,
and in my "Leon Bakst" costume
I have revelled in the sumptuous.
The foundation of this unusual
costume is very simple, merely a
'double robe of purple and blue
chiffon, hanging straight and
svelte from the shoulders.
Over this Is -draped a wonderful .coat
robe of black and gold' The- foundation
of black .chiffon is literally weighted down
with the heavy gold flowers. The drapery
is arranged every time that the gown Is
donned, and when lnlts place the effect is
as of a slender figure swathed in a nUst ot
shadowy purples and gleaming gold.
Just under the bust the coat 1b held' in
place with a jewelled band. The head
dress carries out this Oriental idea,- the
tight turban being bound) with the Jew.
