Vests with half low collar and lapels
slightly rounded out with double points
and pockets, which are, however, Of no
use, are the approved models Many ladies
find vcs3s and wnistcoats inconvenient In
one respect. Worn under blazer or jacket
without shirt waist or blouse, the contact
of the sleeve of tho outside garment Is de-
cidedly unpleasant To remedy this sleeves
of soft silk are sewcd in tho armholes of
the jacket. They have simple bands at
the wrists, closed with button, or the
hand may slip through. The former Is,
however, more comfortable, as the sleeve
stays In place and docs not draw up when
the coat or jacket Is put on. Waistcoats
that button up to tho throat are extremely
stylish and are much better liked by some
ladies than those with rolling collar. They
certainly save great deal OF bother, for
the tie and front must at all times be i'm
maculate, and besides they involve no
small amount of time and labor to keep
them In perfect order In addition to this,
the open front is much less becoming to
many persons than the closed one. How
ever, as they are equally approved, the
question Of more or less trouble rarely en-
ters into the consideration of the wearer
While tho plain cloth vests of masculine
cut are a complete bodice, the more fanci-
ful frilled articles often consist merely Of
q wide plastron held In place by belt and
standing collar. With a well fitting
coat the fact that they have no back is a
secret known only to the wearer. These
ornamental vests are easily mado at

lace. A full front Of the silk is shirred at
the neck and waist and trimmed across
the bust by three horizontal silk ruffles
edged with lace The top of the vest Is
gathered into drapod standing collar,
also trimmed with lace, which fastens ON
the left side under loose soft knot.

FACE AND FIGURE.
American Women Employ Fewer Artificial
Aids 60 Beauty Than Foreigners.

Although great deal Is said about the
use Of face paints and enamels in tho
United States, II is scarcely worth men-
tioninp, in Wow Of the immense quanti-
ties of such articles employed abroad. In
France fJugo and complexion creams arc
as much part Of tho toilet as the collar
or gloves and arc as skillfully put on. We
hear continual remarks on the exquisite
English complexion, and possibly the
British maid and matron do possess a
marvellous skin, but they cover 1t SO thick
ly with foreign matter that the natural
color and texture are invisible. On the
same principle the glorious figures Of
English women are laudcd to tho skies,
yet in point of fact they 6ut-Hcrod Herod

sisted OF smooth corselet, with narrow
straps over the shoulders, the lower part
OF tho gown was draped, plated, paneled
and wrcathed with all the ingenuity that
is now devoted 10 the upper portion. The
bell shaped skirt, just touching the ground
all around, is still the prevailing style for
all costumes trains being worn only on
occasions of exceptional ceremony.
The gown shown in the sketch Is made
of almond colorcd cloth and plaid silk In
rose shades. The left side of the cloth
skirt has narrow silk panel bordered on
each side by band Of marten fur, which
is continued around tho foot Of the skirt.
The panel Is crossed by brandebourgs Of
passemcnteric. Tho bodice is cut with n
small basque and has full fronts crossed
at the waist. Three full straps Of silk
trim the uppar part of the bodice. The
basque Is edged with fur, the sleeves are
of bias silk, and the standing collar Is OF
black velvet.

ly out Of season and sometimes In direct
violation Of good taste. No lady would
think Of putting on her kitchen dress to
wear In the afternoon, but this would be
no moro out of the way than to wear a re-
ception dress for a strictly informal lat
homo" where only the members OF the
household and intimate friends were pres
ent. There is another thing about which
many women are inclined TO go wrong.
This Is the use OF the low cut bodice before
O'Clock in the evening The low waist
Is as impcretivcly confined to evening
dress as the mans dress coat, and one
should be as careful about the hours for
adopting It. Oyerdressing is another
weakness, and In nothing is this moro not
able than In tho church apparel Of the
rank and file Of womankind. 1t Is no un-
usual thing TO see young women and
young matrons at divine service In cos
tunes that belong to dressy afternoon oc-
casions. Tho wearing OF such dresses Is
In atrocous taste. The sanctuary is not
the place for watering place toilets, and
much moro attention should be given to
this error than 10 receives.
The favoritc colors for dinner and even
ing gowns are yellow, petunia and "bleu
faux" The skirts are usually plain, with
perhaps an arrangement Of trimming
about the foot, and the bodice Is round or
made with n very short basque.

A recent writer asserts that one Of the
most difficult things to impress upon the
mind Of the average woman Is the appro-
pfiateHess of her costumes to the time of
wearing them. Especially Is this so with
the younger portion Of the feminine crea-
tion, who are so fond Of wearing pretty
tbinas that they resolutely ignore all rules
