good return of service for the outlay.
The skirt opened in' front to show a
panel of the figured silk, the hem and

broidery in the same pale lavender.
The bodice was entirely of the silk, and
was slightly gathered at neck and
waist. It was finished with bretelles
and sailor collar of the cloth, both or
namented with lavender embroidery,
and over this were points of the silk

were silk. The model was an excellent
one to *have in mind when planning a

Association aro two separate and dis
tinct bodies, working, It is true, for
the same end, but having quite differ
ent spheres of action. Mrs. Travis has

capped at the very start. Recognizing
this fact, and feeling that the work, to
be successful, must be systematic and
harmonious, the ladies have agreed to
divide the labor in Uils way. Mrs. Wil
