The girl with a skirt that hangs to per-
lection, and who can wear her furs su-
perby, is the one who is setting the town
crazy as she walks out of an afternoon.
Any woman can get herself into straight
hanging skirt, but it is only the woman
with straight limbs who can carry off that
skirt to graceful perfection. There is
much, too, in the selection of furs. Only
a woman with long slender throat and
nicely rounded chest should muffie herself
in a high collar or boa. A woman of flesh
looks as if choking in such collar and a
boa gives her the appearance of apoplexy.
The woman who can carry off this season S
furs gracefully is the one who can persuade
her hair to be fuzzy and frizzy without a
suspicion of its being frowsy.

Night Gown Saehet..

Night gown sachets are easily made and
are a dainty device of the toilet. They
may be in the shape of fan made of
a succession of creamy lace rufiies and
delicate lavender ribbons and padded with
soft wool with layer of lavender flowers
and lined with lavender silk. In this
case, which should be of ample size,
several well-folded fresh gowns may be
kept A fiat, square sachet, made of
tufted lavender silk may lie more con-
venient, though not az fluffy and as
daintilY pretty as fan of lace frills, it Is
easier to make.
