The conventional style of the shirt waist
as we have seen 1t year after year is this
season frequently changed for more dressy
forms. including inserted fronts of all
over red dotted with white, etc, with cuffs
and belt to match. However there Is a
certain air Of trlmness and severity lost
ia the change and while the more expen-
siye models may find purchasers among
those who crave novelty there are yet
many who will still prefer the old styles
made Of new fabrics.
