in SOCIETY'S REALM

was predicted last year that the shirt
waist had seen It's best days. and that |
the best-dreSSed women would discard |
them this summer they having become
so common and cheap as to be within |
reach of everybody; but. on the con-
trary they have taken a new lease on |
life; and are, IL anything. more mob
by" and Chic" than ever. Shirt waists |
are cool and comfortable; and. we'll |
made. are becoming to thin and stout |
figures alike, so do you wonder the wo-
men cling so tenaciously to this style?
The plain sailor Is still in vogue, but |
the SWEETEST hat to be worn with shirt |
waists have added scarfs and quilts. |

here. and the tout ensemble is fetching |
in the extreme.
There is absolutely nothing, socially |
speaking. going on in the way of for
NAL entertaining, although a good
many pleasant affairs on u small scale
help to while away the time.
