Buoting recelves cven moro than fts share of favor, and some of tho toflettes —mada from it _are undenlably very stylish and protty. The colors most selected are Rrcan, light and navy blue, ecru, and gray, A very dalnty totletto of light bluo_ has the skirt bordered at'the bottom by an cight-inch side-pleated flounce. Above tifsare two gathered ruiles, only moderately full, of Torthon lace a finger deep. The polo- nalse, buttoned dhfionu\y across the entire ront, is closcd with o llat buttona of moth- cr-of-pearl.
