Cynthia Westover, we'll known in Salt
Lake and whose father was formerly
engaged in business on Main street, has
just published her romance, "Bushy,"
which is highly praised. Miss West
over was for some time with the street
department of New York, and is widely
known as an accomplished young
woman. She has been successful as an
editor and lecturer and her effort as a
novelist will add to her fame.
The well-groomed girl is one who has
learned the lesson of true goWnlng. She
knows that the body itself must be
carefully considered to make a gown
successful. A girl who is employed all
day quickly remarks: But she has
fact, it isn't time that is required-it is
eternal vigilance. How long would it
take one to consider when she is walk
ing with head forward and knees bent
that she must Straighten up and walk
briskly if she would be graceful? How
much longer would her disrobing take
her if when she were ready to retire
she would go through the calisthenic
exercises taught in any school? How
much longer would it take to ener-
getically rub the body with cold water
after the daily. bath? Yet these are
the things which make or mar a gown.
gowns are like laws-thev are not
made in a day, but are the thoughtful
result of the experience of years. The
girl who understands this may perhaps
have a gown of the most inexpensive
material, just because she understands
herself. and buys something that will
when she wears it seem to be part Of
herself.
The round blouse waists of summer
are being turned to good account as
vests of dressing sacques. A very taste
full home woman who has several lawn
waists of different colors, with shirred
fronts, is using them in this way with
good effect. Over the lawn waist, out
of which she has taken the sleeves,
she slips a little loose sacque of challie.
1t is open in front and has a shirred
yoke The back and sides are belted
with the half belt that slips through
the under arm seam. Down the front
and at each elbow there is a ruffie of
white lawn stitched with green thread.
The prettiest combination with these
lawn waists is a buff linen vest with
cream challie sacque. on which are
small figures in red and green. The
belt is crush OF thin green silk The
little sacque is intended for wearing, not
only when dressing, but mornings when
there are small household duties to be
done. 1t is comfortable and pretty and
so easily Numbered that it can be done
at home. The skirt may be an ex-
pensive cream cloth or an old skirt
renovated in stiffening and hem.

If woman wishes to look slender
and willowy she makes a great mistake
in lacing in order to achieve what she
desires. She needs to develop her chest
and arms, rather than to compress her
waist. Systematic physical culture, es-
pecially the employment of chest
movements, will soon broaden the chest
and shoulders, which will, of course
make the waist appear much smaller
Do not lace, no matter what happens

The hair is now worn very high on
the head, with large waves meeting the
locks from the forhead and the nape of
the neck. One of the favorite decora-
tions is effected by means of a single
nne nu11y Prince or wales tip. Which is
fastened in the knot, and towers often
a foot high over the wearers head. One
woman, noted for her excellent taste
in the matter of dress. wore black
evening gown at the opera the other
evening, and the other thing that re-
lieved its somberness was one of these
tall. broad plumes waving in her hair
lunches of Prince of Wales tips, some
times two and again as many as three,
are also used, and while they have
height enough to disturb two or three
persons back of them, they are not
nearly so tall as when a single feather
is used. Three very small tips tied
with a bow of ribbon of contrasting
color and with bunch of aigrettes
rising from the center like a spreading
palm tree is style more popular than
becoming. and if the wearers only
knew, it has more the appearance of an
evening bonnet tossed together at a
moments notice than any part of the
couture. Be this as it may, these COM
binations come direct from Paris al
ready made up, and have gained great
favor here this season

1t is a mistake to wear a shoe too
small for you, thinking it will
