ETAMINE WALKING COSTUME FROM HARPER'S BAZAR
Etamine and canvas have lost none of their popularity, and some of the smartest walking gowns are made of these materials. The blue etamine, taken from Harper's Bazar, is one design that is particularly smart. It is trimmed with points of Java lace in white on transparent green gauze. The skirt, made in godets, is trimmed around the bottom with two bands of green velvet, one quite wide and one narrow. Two wide bands of points of Java lace and green figured taffeta are put on above the velvet, and down the front breadths are also bands of the same. The waist is tight-fitting, trimmed back and front with the bands put on to cross each other. Yoke-collar and sleeves are made of the taffeta striped with black velvet ribbon. At the back of the waist is a bright black velvet bow, the ends of which extend to the hem of the skirt.
Hat in toque shape trimmed with taffeta, black velvet ribbon, and an aigrette of flowers.
Parasol of white taffeta.
