make IL most delightful memento TO keep
for the rest of ones life
Such pins are not as expensive as one
would suppose from the description. On
the contrary, they are quite reasonable
And when compared TO the price OF a pun
containing a solitaire, ruby or large
emerald. Will be found to be so much
cheaper that 1t is well worth the trouble
TO which one Is put to obtain 1t.
As if to provide place for these fancy
pins the most charming house bodices are
designed to be worn with skirts OF any de-
scription.
A very lovely little bodice of white
albatross was shown last week by dress
maker, who was preparing the winter
OUTFIT for handsome blonde who pro-
poses spending the winter at the national
capital. The bodice was laid in side
plaits In the back, the plaits on the re-
spective sides meeting each other in the
middle of the back. At the back of the
waist they converged TO a point, which
gave very pretty, slender effect to the
waist. The front of the bodice was plated
IN the same way, and a very deep sailor
collar was fashioned so as To stand high
around the neck. With this waist the
blonde proposed wearing pale lemon-col-
ored crayats, alternating with light pink
ones and pale green.
perfectly plain albatross skirt with a
narrow band of cream-colored feather
trimming around the bottom of the skirts
accompanied the bodice.
Several bodices were, however, designed
TO go with the same skirt. One of them
was of delicate corn color with a very
large chiffon OF tchu. The fchu was
mos. elaborate. 1t was gathered very full
at the throat, and was theG left to hang
down in large, loose folds, to the waist.
where ii was finished with lace. A fichu
as elaborate as this has to be made upon
the waist, and really forms part of the
waist itself.
BY a little ingenuity a woman who
wishes TO hide WORKOUT spots can provide
herself with half a dozen of these beauti-
ful ichus, and thus present very charm
ing appearance without having gone to the
trouble of getting new gown.
Pretty house dresses are now so much
sought after and woman must have so
many of them that all her wit and ingen-
uity Is put To work devising the WAYS to
get pretty effects with triliing trouble and
cost. The best solution of this is really
the lace fichu. For, after ALL no part of
the dress Is noticed as much as the waist
and, if one can vary the appearance of the
waist, so as TO have il seem entirely differ
ent, the whole result is accomplished
very easily.
At the neck, along each side OF the
pretty lace trimmings which make a waist
look so fresh and new, there is an abund-
ant iield for the stick pins and fancy-head-
ed pins which are now SO popular At the
neck a symbolic pm may he piaced-if one
is the happy owner of sucn thing. and ut
the waist another may be appropriately
fastened. BY symbolic pins IS meant, of
course. the grand list OF birthday pins, re-
membrauce pms, souvenir pins, prize pins
and pins of all sorts which are given in
honor of special occasions.
