FOUR FANTASIES.

A red-haired girl in a jade moire frock, with a huge lemon-yellow and red trail of convolvulus ou one hip, carrying a lemon-yellow ostrich fan on. red sticks! Evening cloaks with startling ; linings that had nothing to do with their outsides! Imagine the soberest cloak of gauged black velvet thrown open to reveal a lining of cerise shot silver satin fulgurante, with appliqued roses of jade taffeta and black velvet, alternately! A picture frock with bouffant skirt— just graduated bands of black belvet on black net. A black velvet bodice with puff-sleeves and turn-over collar of net. And peeping below the ankle-length skirt hem, an inch all round, a' line of finest white - lace! .-:.- The cunningest hat which just showed a halo of shaded net tiers—method of making (the eagle eye perceived) simplicity itself. Take some thirty-six layers of tulle in about four graduations of one colour, and just cut a big circle with a hole in the middle. Fit this round the crown of a cloche and the layers of net will billow out softly all round— shades of brown and copper.
