Though not an extravagant woman
I confess no girl can expect to go

7kles of worry on her pretty forehead
Every year. she continued, "the cost
of a society campaign in New York
City grows more and more oppressive.
Here is an itemized statement of what
a girl can just get through four months
of hard work in society on:
Item No. 1. Eight ball gowns will last
from the LIST of November till the last
of March. and they range in price
never below $125 to $3.50 apiece Two
tailor-made street suits, at 800 to 500
each; one reception toilet, and this
must be velvet and fur, costs at the
minimum $780, cannot be got for less
or dispensed with Of costumes to
wear at home, five are necessary; not
less than $15 can be paid for any one of
these, and at least one elaborate, bril-
liant tea gown is requisite. AS high as
$500 is paid for some of these, but our
average girl can bring the price down
to $50. Hats to the number of five
is a moderate estimate, and the sim
plest walking toque costs SIS, while the
velvet reception affair with plumes
comes to q. round $40.
1T is almost impossible to particu-
larlze over the item of silk petticoatS,
stays, stockings and handkerchief, but
5000 draws a conservative limit. Three
dozen pairs of gloves at the present
price of $24 a dozen, puts one through

ings are bound to be even more fash
ionable than ever, so also are the
checked linens and the plain ones bent
on seeing much sport and service be-
tween this month and next October.
Some of the most admirable water
dresses noted, and very nearly the most
beautiful, too, are fashioned out of
heavy navy blue or rough rider brown
linen faced with a braid as hard and
hairy as hempen rope and very hand
some. The braid is usually put on in
one tone darker than the blue or brown
of the linen, and the most attractive
dark agate buttons are grouped in
appropriate places.

If you are an economical woman and

A FIsHWIFE SERGE.
In the event of your deciding upon
the one suit, by all means select your
goods of the tough. pickly. handsome
Scotch fishwife serge. 1t is so wide
and staunch, and sheds water like a
ducks back, though it. is not made
waterproof. and. therefore, hot and
heavy. About the hips, according to
cut is given the skirt, allowing no
pleats or fullness anywhere, and prac-
tically shaping the garment like a bell.
Tailors are using every persuasion in
their power to bring their patrons to
yield to their judgment in the matter
OF pockets. To the tailor the set of a
seam is everything. To the modern
headed woman her comfort comes
first and her looks on the green is a
secondary consideration; so where the
skirt fastens, on the inside of the hip,
the pocket slips in. The pockets,
though, as we see them in the incest
skirts, are small, reinforced pockets of
silk serge. just large enough to- hold a
woman's handkerchief and her caddy
fee. A big pocket is clumsy and en-
courages useless stuffing with various
properties that bulge.

The egg must be broken off evenly at

"cacciatura, which is supposed to pro-
