The return Of the empire Influence
in dress means that gold or silver In
almost any form will be good.
| Small yokes are a distinguished
feature of many of the lately launched
shirt waists and noticeably increase the
dressy appearance.
The handsomest petticoats are
made of handkerchief linen trimmed
with ruffies of hand embroidery and
bands of valenciennes lace.
| In suits the tendency Is for plain
cloths finished with cloth Of another
color. and gay trimming. On dressy
suits French buttons, with the tone OF
the cloth in their center, are beautiful
and in the best of favor.
There is a growing tendency to-
ward the use Of satin, instead Of silk
for lining Satin is once more In evil

are gaining in favor.

are wonderful things. the soft browns

When little scraggly ends of hair
hang down over your collar all you
need is a good brush, some back COMBS

bodices. Shocking has taken the place
of fine tucks as a supplementary de-
coration to the lace and embroidery In
many Of the new gowns. Rows OF
