Large silk kerchiefs, of navy
blue, red, or white, knotted
carelessly about the throat, are
worn with blouse waists which
have large sailor collars.
Apron draperies are fuller at
the top than formerly Many
draperies are not sloped at all,
being made Of straight breadths,
which are adjusted to the figure
rs most becoming.
The silk or satin foundation
of the newest lace dresses Is
made fluffy at the foot, one very
dull plating being sewed to the
skirt hem, aiding in holding
out the lace edge of the flounc-

antique styles are popular for
