comes lin all colors and though not cheap
10 has the merit of wearing forever.
Moreen can be highly recommended for
growing girls who wear out the hens or
their petticoats in some inexplicable way
A good rnoreen skirt I'm watered black
TO resemble watered blac ksilk can be
bought for the same price as near
silk but in the fashionable colors the
noreen skirt comes higher
None Of these substitutes for taheta

serviceable by binding the skirt RULES
with black velvet. This can be done 20
make tho skirt prettier than before. one
of these taffeta skirts I'm Parma blue had
its ruftes bound with narrow black vel
vet ribbon. This gave strength and stift-
ening to the ruhles and was quite the
prettiest skirt of the week The con-
trast between the black and blue set
off the hues Of both materials and made
them all the more Decorative and the
silk petticoat is nothing If not worn for
decoration.
TRAVELLING HATS.
The ideal travelling hat is big wavy
one with rolling sides. 1t resembles the
Clara Mowbray hat of a generation ago
and the falcon hat Of the day OF Queen
Bess. A woman looks classic in such
hat no matter how plain she may be.
They make these hats. this year, In every
color Of the rainbow and while you are
buying one you may as well get IL 10
match your jacket.
DO YOU know that IT is the very smart
thing 10 nave the hat match the Jacket?
If YOU wear thyme green coat be sure
10 get a straw hat of thyme green. II
your Jacket is beet red that fashionable
coat color. get a beet red hat You
might as well look smart while you are
about II and next summer, II you must
wear the same hat two seasons. you can
din your hat into five cents worth Of dye
or varnish II with your own shiny shoe
polish. But don't buy a brown or
black hat through economy. there isn't
anything in it.
/ saw a leaf brown hat the other day
trimmed with small pink flowers. Leaf
brown is very near a tan and the flowers
were that pretty shade Of pink that
suggests a bridal tour with pink roses
in the bargain. The hat was trimmed
with green taheta, green chiffon and
green leaves as backing FOR the pink
buds.
The Jacket was a tailor made with a
very high stading collar, and small turn
back front. The open front was filled
in with pink chiffon. This dream In
pink and leaf brown was intended for
a tour on land. II you are going yacht
ing you must not wear chiffon or any
thin material. The first breath Of sea
air willis it and makes il hang loose Xix
a nimsy rag. It is a sad waste Of money
TO buy this kind of a yachting gown
or one that has any suggestion OF crepe
or softness for the sea.
II Is the STYLE to be slender this year
Did You know It? The bicycle has re-
duced all our ladies of fashion until their
hip girth is as small as their bust meas
ure is large. Cycling expands the bust
and reduces the hips. 1t may make the
hands a little bigger but then the new
gloves are very pretty so that a woman
does not care especially II her hands are
a little large
THE PROPER GLOVES.
OF course YOU want 70 know the kind
Of gloves for travelling. Just at this
minute the proper shade IS bright
scarlet with short tops and large but
tons. These are worn with any and every
costume And the woman Of fashion
looks as though she might have dipped
her hands i'm the blood OF her enemy
before starting upon her travelling jour
ney. The amiable truth is that the man
ufacturers have produced a very beauu-
ful shade Of red for a very convenient
price and the woman Of moderate means
can afford TO wear n pretty pair Of
gloves WITHOUT paying toO aHuSh lo4
them.
Travelling dresses consist Of shirt waist
and tweed skirt.
saw a young woman starting for
Holland the other day whittier she is
goig TO view the coronation OF Queen |
Wilhelmina in August. She wore a shirt I
waist OF tweed with buttons down one |
The material as thin. yet warm. The |
sleeves were tight below the elbow and |
finished with a broad cloth cuff. There |
was suggestion of braiding upon the |
waist and around the collar Her skirt !
was a thin blue serge. Her coat was |
blue cloth. tailor made and she wore |
grey hat trimmed with carnations and |
one big blue blvd.
Dame Fashion IS little fussy this year |
but she gets results that are very pretty A,
so YOU need not blame her n she goes |
about IL I'm a fussy way. Stockings that |
were plain are plaided. skirts that |
had one rufne now support two. tan
gloves have become scarlet and the /
tailor made girl wear a chiffon fchu
That is what T mean when I say that |
the dear old Dame whom we all love
IS sporting more fuss and feathers than
last year.
