New Notions In Dress for the Ladies
The Latest in Gloves
and COiffures.

Anything seems TO be called shirt
waist that is fanciful and made up
without fitted lining. The waists Of
china silk having been extremely pop
ular, but are now finding rivals in the
waists OF linen lawn that are made
with fine lace insertion. There is moth
ing more practical and sensible than
waists of this description. They come
from the cleaners in most beautiful
condition and are so fresh and dainty
looking that women are investing in
them with an absolute disregard for
laundry bills. Indeed, with the pres
emit conveniences in starch, irons and
ironing boards, it is not difficult to
get them up in fine shape with very lit
tie experience.
One of the fads Of the moment Is the
wearing OF flowers in the hair. Years
ago a young woman was scarcely con-
sidered properly costumed without
some flower among her tresses. A
crimson or yellow rose is at present
looked upon as the correct hair or
nament. This is worn at the side OF
the knot at the back of the head. the
stem being uppermost, the blossom
dropping toward the neck, or one may
wear her favorite blossom. Among
the most charming OF these is the
favorite honeysuclsle, small bunch
of which is an appropriate addition
10 a toilet Of thin white or delieately-
tinted fabric.
II Is said that larger orders for
white, putty color and ivory satin and
silk have been given this year than at
any previous time, and that these ma
terials will be worn not only for full
evening dress but as combinations and
trimmings for very many less formal
costumes. For example, dress Of
tan broadcloth is made up with white
satin revers, sleeves, vest and collar.
! Another of ecru has n white satin front
deliberately embroidered, with white
satin vest, yoke, collar, cuffs and sleeve
rufles.
There is new ironing board for
sleeves. 1t consists Of revolving
disc, which turns upon q metal base.
Over this the sleeve is drawn and
shifted about as necessity requires
while the ironing is being done One
laundress who has tried IL says that II
robs the doing up of shirt waists OF
half the dread that formerly attended
this operation. The boards are very
e inexpensive. costing but about q
cents, and are screwed to the table
by an ordinary clamp.
z Duck and pique costumes are more
Il popular for this season than at any
{ time since these materials came int
favor. One of the best models Is
+, skirt with n rather wide belt pointed
/. in front, the point extending upward
about an inch and half above th'
!, upper line of the belt. This is fur
nished with a thin whalebone, and tn
: dropping front of the blouse falls owe
y it. The blazer is short and very trim
s looking. Other suits have an Etc
e jacket instead Of the blazer.
