band, and spolls the otherwise
natty effect. With very thin material

thickness TO aght against, but tae style
of wearing silk waists, with heavier shirts,
| demands q remedy for the trouble. Ade-
1 lightful one has been found in the
/ Stanley belt, the price OF which is quite
| reasonable These belts are made of good
silk, IN all the dark shades to match the
| prominent shades of the skirt or blouse.
They can be worn simply as
a plain band. if desired, then
| there is a wide piece of silk which reaches
from the waist about three inches on
either side. It fs loosely plated or shirred
at the sides, and the centre is held IN
| graceful shape by bones 1t is hooked on
| either side to the belt and gives the same
| effect as when the sashes were pointed IN
front few years ago. TO add 60 the
| trinness of this belt is natty low at the
! side toward the back.

Norfolk waist has taken upon the SEN

owner miserable. But if it has been
thoroughly sponged first it viii prove q
/ most delightful material
