* A ND 1t was belts, belts, BELTS
~ and that's one for you" sings
Mr.. Kipling reminiscently of
Dublin Quay and famous fight
thereon.
The same is true OF this summers
girl, although her belts, belts are per-
fectly peaceful affairs, entirely unoon-
nected with broken heads.
They may. however. very easily have
some connection with broken hearts.
for the belts of this summers girl are
the very crowning touch to the fas-
cinations of her attire. A woman's
gIrdle has ever been the subject Of
romantic adulation. but in some sea-
sons 1t degenerates into an affair
chiefly OF leather or is made OF the
same material as the gown. so that
II is without distinctive grace. ana
sinks either into commonplace utility
or complete insignihcance as fea'
ture OF woman's toilet.
But this season the belt is "a most
important. distinctive and fascinating
item OF fne frocking. Rumor has it
