~ with either the blouse or the skirt,
the only exception being the use of an
onion-brown leather belt Will tailored
suit, which here and there shows a
touch of the same coloring.
Thirdly, the girdle must be fitted
with the same care bestowed on a

the shape must harmonize with the

WASTED woman must religiously avoid
the very high round grdle. Pointed
effects in the back are for her.
For wear with tailored suits and
shirt waists, suede or leather belts
are the correct thing. They come in
every shade shown in fashionable suit
ings, and deer-skin belt is one of the
fancies of the hour for the girl who
likes mannish clothes.
An extremely fetching effect in onion
colored suede is finished with two
buckles, the one in the back a tritie
larger than its companion in the front.
These are of gold, but exactly the
shape of 'Napoleonic hat and studded
thickly with topaz. The color combina
ton of onion-brown, gold and topaz is
wonderfully harmonious. These large
buckles can be secured to follow the
curve of any figure; il the wearer has
a perfectly round and trim waist, the
curve of the buckle is horizontal. II

tically. Many of the buckles on these
heavy leather belts look like armor
plate with eyelets such as may be
seen on harness, ana spikes for catches.
They come in silver, gun metal and
gold.
The girl of more delicate fancy does
not use large heavy buckle ON her
broad belt, but has four or five very
small buckles with leather straps
These are very effective, hut they
must be laced and strapped with care,
for the buckles must make a perfectly
straight line down the front. Bullet
shaped buttons are also used TO finish
these broad leather belts.
An extravagant leather belt shows
chamois skin in the natural tone,
slaShed to stimulate raw edged broad
cloth, and finished with gold buckles
back and front. Another fancy in
leather for the athletic girl demands
belts, turnover collar and cuffs, all
of leather, for wear with the mannish
tailor suit. These may be stitched i'll
self-tone hcmstitched or done in heavy
broderie Anglaise.
'ihe most delicate leather belts are
those intended for house wear with
the light colored cloths which will be
so popular this winter. White suede,
and at least four tones of the plain
colors; such as blue, heliotrope, pink,
green, yellow, as well as American
beauty red, appear in the plain stitched
belt, finished with simple gold buckles.
There is absolutely no reason why a
girl may not have belt exactly. the
same tone as her shirt waist or blouse,
They are not good, however, with a
really dressy blouse, as they should
give a tailored touch to the costume,
Metallic belts will be much worn
with tailored suits of all sorts. Gun
metal, silver, plain ana oYidized, and
gold are employed. There is absolute
ly no limit to the price. Imitation
metal may be bought cheaply enough
on bargain counters at department
stores, or miladi millionaire may go
into the jewelers. and expend the divi-
