stance. 34". A.M., A.I.S., 1936. $3.50 
ETHELWYN DUBUAR (Laph. 1932) An interesting pink,

satin has, while dancing in the dell, picked up on the edges 
of her skirts, a few pale lavender cobwebs. Perhaps the most 
charmingly delicate of the plicatas. The ground of the full 
rounded S. and of the semi-flaring F. is of the purest white. 37."
