With a black skirt, a slight black cloth
jacket open in front is sure 20 look well, as
it gives the wearer the chance Of introdue-
ing whatever color IS most becoming in her
shirt or waistcoat and tie. A smart black
habit and jacket looked remarkably well
with pinllish shirt, sailor hat trimmed
with a striped red ribbon (toning with the
shirt, and a tie TO match. A pale blue tie
and band Of the same around the hat is a
favorite color and suits many people.
Both for riding and ordinary wear, ties
fastened IA a bow with short ends satisfy
what appears TO be the desire of many
women's hearts-to approximate as closely
as may be to mans attire.
Besides ordinary white sailor hats, good
many mixed fancy straws are worn; the
brims are rather wide and the crowns low.
Nearly al these hats are made in coarse
straw, and both In texture and shape are
similar 20 mems sailor hats. White waist
coats, and those ia light fancy materials,
are worn, and with them straight collars
and stiff hard ties.
