shadow in ball room has passed away {.
Nothing makes u neck look whittier and
an arm prettier than a soft black dress
cut SO as to display not too much of
either. Dresses of black China silk are
serviceable and can be worn at any and
all times. They are cool, unpretentious
and neat. nicely fitting black dress is
a necessity and no wardrobe is complete
without one.
When is a fashionable color for house
dresses land white muslin morning gowns
serve as a new lease of youth TO passe
maidens. White is inappropriate for
street wear for ladies. For young
misses it is pretty and neat, but must be
made plain and unassumng. Why
ladies should not wear white in cities in
summer is an unanswerable question +,
yet il is considered bad form to do so +,
and white dresses are pronounced over
conspicuous. White muslins or fine
linens trimmed with soft thin lace make
the prettiest costume conceivable for
housewear and look cool and appropriate
for any time of day or evening.

Collars, il collars are worn, should
match the sleeves, and are made higher
