New silk Waists.

The plain changeable silk waists
worn with the white linen collars have
been in existence long enough to be-
come out of date, but the figured taf-
fetas have still n stronghold on life.

that it is easy TO have waist quite diff
ferent from anybody else's If only time
be taken to choose the material. In
shaded blue, with an allover design of
black, in pink or in tan, there are many
exquisite patterns. As the silk itself
is cheap. and, now that sleeves are col
lapsing, less material is needed, 1t is
quite possible to have a smart waist for
little money. There is no need of any
trimming, andAso there is still another
chance to savemoney, but when econo-

revers of velvet. satin or lace can be
added and'a more'dressy effect secured.
