FAIR WOMEN.

THEER FROCKS. The frocks.worn in "The Merry Widow" are indeed wonderfully beautiful. The shimmer of satin and sparkle of jewels are en-trancing,-and appeal irresistibly io' women. Directoiro and Princess robes are conspicuous, and what'style, is so ravishing on ful-women?.-The gold satin worn 'by Miss' Florence Young is exquisite, and-a black and silver is regally becoming to.its handsome• wearer. Although so perfect in cut, fit, and cobur, they are ho handsomer than those now'he.ing shown at The "Economic. These frocks are models of the artistic. One Directoiro, in the most delicate shade of opalescent green ; achieves distinction by its-effective- simplicity.. - : --. ■.. :.
