suitable for evening concerts and affairs
that require more fuss and feathers.
Nobody wears gloves in st. Louis In
| summer. One of the most elegant women
| of the city declares that from May TO
! October 1 she doesn't see 9, glove, except
for some unheard-of entertainment. One
| pair of lightweight travelling kid gloves,
| lust for appearances sake, and a pair of
| Isle or white silk ones that she may find
| handy some day when she expects to join
some friends at luncheon party on the
| Fair grounds and doesn't want her hands
| to show dust, will be all that is necessary.
| Evening gloves are not required

| Bile space, for her needs are pretty sure
| to be the needs of many other girls who
| will stay perhaps longer or perhaps a
shorter period of time, but who can regu-
late their clothes from the suggestions
given above.
| The young girl who comes for a week
with her family, who stops at big hotel
| and goes in for everything, can follow the
above with perfect safety, adding, If she
| likes. few more fancy clothes and an
| other tub shirt waist suit or two.
The society girl who is to spend the

list as far as she likes, leaving out. I en-
| phasize, any desire on her part to put
| fancy flannel dresses, yachting suits. vel
| vets or heavy cloths into her trunks.
The woman with small means, whose
| board while in the city is a big item, and
who can only stay four days, let US see
TO her wants for minute. 1 don't care
from WI ba arfo oh,
let her buy one smart-Iooking shirt-waist
| suit of silk, either foulard or taffeta, with
a jaunty hat to correspond, and she can
| wear it every minute of the four days If
she likes, and not only look well, but be
| comfortable. The suit must be unlined.
If she brings only telescope or large
hand bag, two or three pretty shirt
waists. one of them very thin, with open
| work embroidery or else a white wash
silk tucked waist, the kind that sort of
floats round your arms in summer and
makes you feel delightfully."- cool and
,, happy. would better come along With
| one hat and two pairs of Oxfords, and
one pair of slippers she can get along
beautifully. An Eton or short coat, of
course, is the wrap to be selected
LINEN CRASH DRESS
WILL BE APPROPRIATE,
If the silk dress is too expensive and
out of the question, then choose A linen
crash dress and see that it is made well
l would rather pay 10 cents a yard for il
and have it made by a good dressmaker
who VIII give 1t fit and style, than to pur
chase 50-cent goods and let a bad work
woman cut it to pieces. An Eton and
hlted or tucked skirt or else A eood
broad-shouldered shirt waist and the same
skirt will make the woman Of modest
means a most excellent Sightseeing dress
for several days, and if she is careful TO
hang 1t up straight at night will stay
fresh and unrumpled. For a quarter the
chambermaid will press out skirt
wrinkles on the last day to send its wear
er home tidy, but tired. 1 do not recon-
mend linen. the smooth-fnished goods-for
the one and only dress. 1t muses. 700
much, and in order to look well must be
always fresh and crisp.
The business woman who comes from
Philadelphia for week, and who expects
to put in her entire daytime in the Varied
Industries building investigating her spe-
cial Tine" and who will turn in very
early each night, may bring a shirt-waist
suit of silk and another of some wash ma
terfal with one hat and several shirt |
waists. She won't need the afternoon |
dresses nor the fancy hat. She may find !
an alpaca skirt useful, to be worn with |
the thinnest of white linen or lawn waists. |
