Judging from the variety of mate
rials shown for shirt waists, they seem
more firmly intrenched than ever; and
with reason, as in the plain styles
nothing is so convenient or economical,
and in the high class varieties nothing
is so captivating For morning wear,
travelling or golfng, the flannel waist
is "just the thing" and in fine quality
French flannels, or those of domestic
manufacture, the gay plaids or stripes
are really charming, made up either
straight or on the bias, with gilt or
pearl buttons in twos or threes at each
side of the front. The Clan plaids
are well represented in both silk or
wool, plainly made with small buttons
as the sole trimming. Poplins, louis.
ines or taffetas are also appropriate for
shirt waists.
Plain white flannel waists, embroid.
cred in crimson, blue or brown dots,
with small sprays on the center plat
at the front, are also very attractive,
Velvet, the soft velveteens with chiffon
finish, or crushed velvet waists are very
effective, and lightened by white lace
or embroidery are suitable for evening
or theater wear, All waists of the
above mentioned materials are plainly
made--a French back, small blouse
front and medium.sized sleeves with a
cuff, and either tucked yokes or long
plaits, preserving the original idea of
the shirt waist. Plain white or col.

Many Persian lamb jackets are in a
modified blouse style with contrasting
revers, collar and cuffs. Three-quarter
length coats come in Hudson Bay or
Russian sable, mink, chinchilla, ermine,

most generally used are Russian or
Hudson Bay sable, mink, ermine, mar
