A stunning little tailor costume which
took my fancy was a dark wood brown
cloth with a hairy surface on which
were distinctly seen red and green
f1ecks. The skirt fitted beautifully at
the waist and f1ared in a fluffy fullness
at the feet. Down the front width was
a panel four inches wide formed of mar
row green and red braid, the ends of
the braid being finished with small
enameled buttons. The inevitable pei

finished the short, bloused Jacket.

Parisienne and the equally
stunning Americana, each intent upon
the pleasant pursuit of a chapeau. The
creations displayed at this fascinating
atelier are certainly the summum bo-
mum of sartorial exclusiveness. If
manners make the man, hats undoubt-
eddy play conspicuous part in making
the woman. The possession of a be-
coming hat has often been the cause of
more jealousy, hatred, malice and un-
charitableness in the feminine world
than one can well imagine. When two
women meet at the beginning of sea-
son the first thing they do is to pick
each others hats to pieces-fn their
minds: the next is to pay fiattering
compliments about them. Indeed. so
all powerful IS the question or mead
gear that some one has said woman
will make every sacrifice for her hus-
band, will die for him if need be, but
will always wear the hat she likes.

women were unblushingly breaking the
tenth commandment at Carriers was
