THAT FLARING SLEEVE

During the warm summer months IL

look fresh, dainty and attractive on
very small outlay Of money. Summer
materials cost little and they may be
easily made UP at home, the essential
quality being an irnrna cuIats fires hr1ess
which helps 70 impart wei groomed
air SO desired by every woman.
But with the advent of the fall wealth
er this is all changed il IS roo cool for
summer dresses and the spring gowns
left over are apt to be too shabby It -
still too early in the season to buy win
ter clothes and there are few women
who can AFFORD gowns for every season
Of the year
The jacket suit which mas been worn
so many years IS never falling re-
source in cases Of this kind. The changes
in these suits are SO slight from one
year to another that one may be Worn
several seasons If the Wearer takes or
binary care Of it. The suit jackets this
season seen in Topeka stores are nearly
all tight fitting or oioUses. though few

and almost TO the knees. with a decided
flare at the bottom The newest skirts
have either nine or fourteen cores. These
suits are mostly in black. tan or gray

and with bright fancy waist may even
do duty IN the evening.
One may wear old clothes at home
and Still look neat and attractive which
are the essentials Of home apparel
Another WCrd in regard to dressing
for the street. and that is the utter in
appropriateness of some of the eombina-
tfons seen some women seem utterly
devoid of taste in regard to this subject.
they may be seen in the early morning
wearing fancy silk or satin gowns. hats
loaded with trimming suitable only for
dress occasions. and worst OF all white
gloves and furry white parasols- over
dressing is much worse than under
dressing. but there is q happy medium
which should be discovered by every
woman for herself
To the student Of human nature per
