shtly as our women do. they should
KNOW a lot about vests to make the
changes frequent and clever.
10 go always with a conventional cot-

argues a lack of inventive genius. a
woman VINO can wear many fancy fronts
with diferent colored girdles and stocks
IS a woman who will be the envy of her
friends; they will think She has a ner-
feet knack for clever dressing on limo
And that is high praise.
l Know a woman who can do this
thing, and do it well. She has a steel
blue suit of face cloth, made with a
short jacket. Here are some of the yari-
ations. A front of fine Swiss. dainty
tucked with lace insertion. the whole
made over a piece of blue silk. A girdle
OF blue taffetas and a stock collar of the
same with a narrow linen collar above.
One of dark blue mousseline on which
she had appliqued cnt lace. to initiate
Honiton; this over green s~taffeta, with
green girdle and ribbons to wind about
the throat under a narrow ruching of
white.
A front OF pale yellow muslin, finely
tucked and divided by bands of butter
cup lace, made up over pale blue or
white, and blue or white girdle, and collar
to match.
You see how many changes this makes?
TO say nothing of the opportunities it
gives a woman to match the flowers in
her nat. The woman who has a black or
a gray suit, can wear almost any color
she wishes in these fronts. She should
certainly have a geranium-colored one.
Make it of red muslin with an applique
of yellow lace, and make the girdle of
black satin, very narrow with a double
knot in front; if she wears a geranium-
colored tie, have it of silk ribbon or
taffeta.
With these fronts she can suit the day
or the occasion. A woman should al
ways be watchful of the tone of the
atmosphere when putting on her clothes.
If the day is rainy and chilly, wear
something red or warm-toned; if clear
and hot, wear blu and white, or equally
light shades; if cloudy and sultry, never
wear t~oneless, hot dresses.
A man said he fell in love with his
wife because, on a chilly, rainy day, at
a big hotel, she had come down in a
brilliant scarlet, wooden gown, with a
bunch of green leaves at her waist. The
other women were shivering in lawns.
he said a woman who had that much
sympathy would make a splendid wife.
AND she has.

The slight differences in ties and Cir
dies are as worthy of consideration as
the fronts.
The Fought ties-except the Ascot-are
rarely worn Even ribbon is a bit too
cumbersome to wran around the co,I.r
like a stock: so taffeta is considered the |
correct thing. Get a small piece on the
bias if possible. and put a narrow hem
on each side.
Put it about the collar as if Won were
going to tie a bow in the back. hut in
stead, cross it. bring it around to the
front and Slip in a four-in-band letting
the ends come nearly to the waist.
No scarfpins are worn. except with the
Aseots. But these latter ties are not
adapted to a shirt-waist without a iacket
They need to fit in the " formed nv
the revers of the coat. Otherwise they
Jsare not stylish.
forgot to Say that it is easy to fasten
fronts over any cotton shirt waist.
