Miss Ysolinde McVeagh, who played = Denise, the wife of Dr. Georges Duhamel, appeared first in a dainty frock of apricot georgette trimmed with tiny frills extending from the neck and j forming the hem of the skirt, with! pretty little'fine lace collar and cuffs.' The second change was a gown of eau de nil crepe de chine, with a closefitting bodice. At one side a deep flare fell to form an uneven hem-line. Her felt hat was in the same tone as her frock, and was trimmed with a band of white. An ermine necklet completed this becoming ensemble. A gown of old gold silk lace was next chosen. It was relieved with pastel green georgette, the bodice having a collar of the georgette, with long ends down the back, and finished with a diamente buckle at the waist. Another frock was of beige georgette, having two flared flounces dipping to the ; ankles at the back. Over this was worn a finger-tip length jacket of the; same material, with collar and cuffs of soft beige fur, and a wide band of j fur at the bottom of the jacket. With this ensemble was worn a chic little' close-fitting felt hat in the same ; shade. Miss McVeagh’s last appearance was i in sapphire-blue georgette, the hand- ’ kerchief-pointed skirt falling from a 1 close-fitting bodice. Her cloche hat; was of matching blue. Miss Constance Clark, who por- ; trayed the clairvoyant, Madam Tiffani, wore a handsome gown of petunia I georgette, the uneven skirt having two : deep flared frills. A diamente buckle worn at the waist was the finishing! touch.
