HINTS BY MAY HOWARD.
This charming bodice satisfactorily
expresses two of the newest ideas which
are the bolero, and deeply pointed
girdle. In the present instance the
material selected is a cloud gray novel-
ty goods judiciously-trimmed with nar-
row bands of white and gilt galloon.
The bolero opens a vest of figured taf-
feta. The pattern ,provides for a
body lining that closes in the centre
front which supports the full vest that
is gathered at the upper and lower
edges and can be closed invisibly
through the centre front or at the left
side beneath the bolero if preferred.
Smooth under arm gores separate the
fronts from the back which is seemless,
fitting smoothly across the shoulders
with the scant fullness at the waist line
