New Gown Startles Fifth Avenue
Fifth avenue, langorous since the
beginning of the war, was startled a-
new ode day last week when Mrs.
William Radcliffe, of St. Joseph, Mo.,
appeared in a .war creation called the
"Over the Top" economy dress.
It is fashioned from gingham and
has a hat to match of the same mater-
ial. The whole outfit costs only $6.
It is positively without fastenings.
To don it, one must, hang it up and
then go into it sidewise and head-
first. They say it's easy when you
know how.
