SILK AND COTTON WAISTS

An array of irresistible loveliness to the
woman who loves pretty things is this dis
play of Waists
Handwork of every kind-fashion's
keynote of distinctions lavished on the
dressy blouses so suggestive of dainty femin-
inity-embroidery, drawnwork, fagoting,
French knots, and tucks, fancy stitches, ap-
pliques, inset lace, fine shiiring.
Spring poems of the needle are the
white silk waists. White Japanese silks
have vogue for blouses-maybe the war in
the Far East will start another Japanese
craze, as when everybody was humming
"Mikado" melodies. Pictures of daintiness
are the white China silk blouses with tucks
and shiiring, drawnwork, lace and pretty
touches of embroidery.
Lace effects charm by their delicate
beauty, Waists of cream Chantilly, Repousse
and Venise over silk, with misty chiffon in
terlining, look as though from Fairyland's
dressmakers. Brussels net, plain and fancy,
artistically carries out the shirred modes.

FOR GIRLS AND MISSES

neither too much like mothers suit nor too
httle-girlish Many of the Walking Suits
have jackets in stylish variations of the
Eton and Blouse, with the broad, dropping
shoulders, shoulder capes, high girdles and
ornamental sleeves; then there are Suits
with jackets in plated aud military styles
Materials are tweeds, homespuns, cheviots
in the most recent shades, checks and plain
cloths in the popular blues and browns.
The dressy Tailored Suits show the
vogue of the voile extended iuto young girls
modes. Eton and Blouse Suits of this grace-
full fabric are in the new seasons pretty
shirred and tucked effects on jacket and
skirt, with dainty trimming touches of en-
broideries in beautiful color blendings laces,
art buttons and sleeve frills.
