AS soon as the warmer weather
comes the soft Panama shapes will be
worn again and Of these some very in
expensive kinds can be procured which
are not SO smart as the real Panama,
but still quite good enough for coun-
try wear. Very little is required for
the trimming Of these hats beyond a
soft scarf or oriental silk gauze or
louisine silk ribbon, and a girl who is

short lace coats known as tea or cof-
fee sacks and which are often worn
over a blouse. There is no doubt Of
the utility Of such garments, especially
for afternoon wear at home. They give
finish TO a blouse and are not difficult
or costly to obtain. A pair of sleeves
put into an exaggerated collar, worn
with becoming sash or waistband,
will practically constitute one Of these
little sacks.

made in spotted voile. Very smart was

having only a few very small box
plaits on the bodice and down the front
Of the skirt, finished with well-boned
waistband Of red and gray shot satin.
The hem Of the skirt consisted of three
large tucks; it Just touched the
gropnd all round, but did not trail any
