Tho STYLE in which these suits are
odo varies almost as much as the
,+erials that are used. There is bur
o,e distinguishable feature, which is
noculiar to these suits. They are made
ni+ho6t bones and often even without
linen Usually they are made without
-aoar, to fit, excepting over the hips
and shoulders. The shoulders are,
however, invariably made with d wide
sTict and the waists are rather full.
,rt,a general effect of those suits, il
nroperly made, is one of easy comfort
and grace. which would be spoiled to a
considerable effect, if bones were used
in the waist. 1t might be said that the
lack of bones means lack of formal
itv and, with it a kind of solid COM
fort which no other style of street cos
tunes offers.
The main object of the present style
of skirts seems to be to make the hips,
which. last year, were so strongly em-
phasized, appear as small as possible.
This end is accomplished by arranging
the fullness of the skirt in such a way
that it falls from the edge of the hip
line and gradually flares toward the
bottom, where it is very full and, very
often, is finished off with one or more
folds. If the wearer is short the bands
must be arranged near the bottom in
such a way, that they make her APP
pear higher than she actually is. Even
heavy cloth gowns are made pleated
and very full.
There is wonderful variety in the
kinds of wells that are worn now-a-
days and in the ways in which they are
arranged. Well dressed women are
expected to have a veil to match every
dress or hat she wears. A great deal
depends upon the proper harmony and
neglect the propsr consideration of a
harmonious ensemble shows either
carelessness or lack of taste on the
part Of the wearer. For large hats
the lace veil may be worn, which Is
fastened around the edge or just I'M
der the brim and then turns back. its
ends free and blowing in the wind.
There is also another style, which is
brought around and pinned loosely
under the chin. For windy days it is
probably the most sensible and prac-
teal style, to tie the chiffon veil tightly
in soft bow, the long ends hanging
IN the front, but. of course that is only
suitable for cold weather. In warm
weather the veil shuts out the air and
makes the face too warm. The new
Parisian styles for summer include
wells of different kinds. but these
DAINTY creations of the lacemaker's art
art not for practical use. They are
mere ornaments and are not used for
'he protection of the face at all.
