should have put with the other three,
and that is good temper. This fortu-
nately both ladies have Miss Irwin

unsuccessful, kept her temper, meeting
all with pleasant smile and ready wit,

them the material should first be dou-
bled and be about seven inches deep be-
fore beginning to plait- Many of the
ruff1es consist of a row of these plaits
gathered down the middle, with one
added piece plated in the same way
but only half the width as if cut OF in
the center.
Sometimes the black tulle is edged
with white lace, and vice versa Some
of the material before using is killed
and crimped. Some white fabrics have
black chenille spots; many white tulle
ones are edged with narrow black and
white ribbon. For the moment the best
kinds have either double or many rows
of black tulIe, with long ends descend
ing to the feet, sometimes having a
frill at the edge. Occasionally the ends
are gathered to form corkscrews edg-
ed with a ruching, or the long ends are
trimmed with horizontal rows Of ruch-
ings. There is an evident inclination to
increase their width and Importance
Some assume the form of small capes
which cover the shoulders. and some
are alternately plated in black and
white
It is quite easy to make the simpler
kind, the points to remember being to
use plenty OF stuff and to keep the
plaits perfectly even. Some Of the fash
ionable boas are made entirely OF silk
petals, such as roses or poppiess and
some are edged with feathers

joint board. the gowns for the
girl and whatever extras may oc-
cur, such as country club fees, lit
tie dinners, drives. etc. She is gen
orally engaged a month or so ahead of
the time, and she takes her charge
around to the different dressmakers and
tallors to see that she has the proper
gowns When the limit is 81, 600 all told,
OF course these have to be quite simple;
but, then, Miss Van Spuyten is a very
good manager and full of taste. 1t goes
without saying that the tradespeople all
give her percentage So she makes
quite a neat sum, especially if the girl
marries, when a. generous present is in
the order of things.
You call this calculating, I suppose. L
can tell you that there's a great deal
more of it going on than you would
dream of, especially right here at the
Pier Perhaps it explains, too, why so
many of the girls are pretty. The
chaperons won't have anything to do
with the palmer ones. for they very
justly consider them in the light of IN
safe investments.

The other day we drove to the Point

every smart woman on the links wore
pure white. The shirt waists were of
white muslin OF china silk and the
skirts of white pique or mohafr. The
little white sailors were of stitched silk
