handsome dresses were made to touch
the ground all around to the extent of
an inch, and no more. There were no
draggly bobtailed effects, and I'm glad
of it. And, another thing, there were
fewer elaborate gowns than one might
expect. Embroidered linens were the
rule and not the exception, and tailor
made linen and mohair costumes were
much in evidence.
One very pretty costume was of blue
linen. The three quarter length coat
was faultlessly cut, and the skirt was
laid in nice full plaits. With this was
worn a wide sailor shape of ecru straw

There are some women who love to
buy goods and trimmings by the bale
and then worry themselves sick trying
TO make them. They fancy they need
all these things, when in reality they
only need one or two gowns well cut
and well sewed, and these they could
have bought ready made for the price
of the other so called bargains.
The best dressed woman 1 know in
answer TO a compliment said: why,
my dear, have only one-half the num-
Der of gowns you have, only mine are
absolutely right, and when 1 buy one
costume 1 buy it complete-hat, gloves
and all-and don't use any of the
things separately If 1 can only afford
two costumes for the entire season
make sure that they are complete in
every respect, and remain satisfied
with them until 1 can afford another
outfit. Don't buy waists because they
are pretty or ribbons because they are
cheap or dress materials because there
is a sale of them"
And there is a good deal in that.
