Inc snort SKlrt IS gaming steadily
abroad-indeed, it is the favored style
If not on parade.
Alluring cravats are made of soft
silk, loosely knotted, having lace lap
pets crossed over and pulled through
antique buckles.
Batiste chemisettes are frequently in
troduced. These are preferably Of
white, laid in lingerie tucks or the
most delicate embroidery "veining."
Narrow belts are coming into fashion
again, and some lovely jeweled belts
are being worn, but this does not mean
that the high-draped centuries are out
of date.
Much shorter skirts are a feature of
the latest corsets, some being scarcely

wear with afternoon house gowns is
made Of sheerest batiste muslin or dot
ted swiss, adorned with a number of
tiny taffeta rufiles, over which falls a
full tlounce Of embroidered muslin.
"Cabochons" Of pearls, windmill and
cockade rosettes, motifs of passemen-

gowns are made in the new butter

boas of black and white tulle, with
long black velvet loops and ends.

find out what ones guest wishes to do
with her day, and to permit her to be
happy in her own way. This surely is
the truest hospitality. A hostess who
invites people to visit her has two very
important duties to perform, two seri-
Gus extremes to avOid-one, not to neg
lect her guests, and another-Quite as
important-not to weary them with too
constant attention

being entertained" which is more
than sufficient to reduce a sensitive
woman to the very depths Of misery.
Just follow the daily routine Of your
household. taking care that your guest

discourtesy. The hostess who allows
guest to feel that abe Is the cause of
inconvenience violates the first law Of
hospitality.
