Helpful Hints on What to Wear and
How to Wear II.
-Mohair in white and delicate colors
is a favorite material for reception
toilets.
For a reception blouse the new
lace waist is the most satisfactory. A
beautiful one Is Of white lace lined
with daffodil silk, worn with a girdle
Of daffodil chiffon velvet.
The three quarter coat, which has
given way to fur during the midwin-
ter weather, shows signs Of returning
with the spring. With the popularity
Of the three-quarter coat, the short
skirt has necessarily disappeared. The
most graceful woman in Paris could
not wear the two together with any
degree of elegance.
Leather trimming Is one Of the
seasons specialties, and both smooth
kid and suede are embroidered, braid
ed, cut out and appliqued or used as
bands Of pipings. Turnover collars
and cuffs Of leather are on some Of
the new wool shirt waists, and yoke,
collar, cuffs and belt Of leather orna-
ment the newest sweaters.
The shirt waist suit, pure and sim
pie, has almost entirely replaced the
coat and skirt of linen and similar ma
terials in the affections Of most wom-
en-. It Is, as rule, more becoming,
and is decidedly a more easily laun-
dered garment, as so frequently the
shape of coat is entirely spoiled by
one washing, rendering the suit as a
whole entirely useless.
The vogue for waistcoats Is more
pronounced than 1t has ever been be-
fore. Some of the newest examples
are in plain silk, cloth or satin, with
out any broderie whatever, and fasten-
ed down the front with double row
of tiny buttons. A pale gray cloth
costume boasted tight fitting waist
coat Of white watered silk piped with
pale pink panne and adorned with a
double row of tiny round opal buttons
which took the shades Of gray and
pink.
= -Surplice front lines have invaded
the realm of blouses as we'll as the
other provinces OF, fashion, and as they
are universally becoming and easily
fitted and made their popularity Is as
sured. With transparent guimpe and
collar to fill in the v opening at the
throat, and some one Of the host or
attractive band or applique trimmings
to border the crossing fronts, and II
taste is exercised in the choice OF coll
ors and trimmings they may be made
exceedingly becoming.
Little details such as the arrange
ment Of a cravat or girdle will often
give distinction and originality to an
otherwise unimportant blouse, and the
soft cravat encircling the throat under
rundown collar, tied in front and
drawn down under buttoned tabs
crossing the front, or through big en-
broidered eyelets or rings, or under lit
tie straps buttoning at both ends
across a narrow, plain vest, are parti-
cularly attractive. A little yoke and
deep cuffs of Valenciennes insertion
give a touch Of daintiness to the heavy
blouse.
For her complexion's sake every
woman should have a walking skirt,
ankle high, with a good, warm flannel
waist. She should have storm coat,
pair of rubbers pair Of heavy high
shoes and something warm for her
hands. And she should have little
hat which will protect the head, but
will not blow off nor catch the rain.
AS for an umbrella, she may carry II
or not, as she pleases. But, II she Will
provide herself with a handsome wa
terproof hat, say one Of satin faced
rubber. she will find an umbrella un-
y.-Englishwoman.
-Reams could be written about the
perfections Of the shirt waist suit, but
comfort and economy are its chief re-
Communications. They appeal to both
rich and poor alike, as there are many
times when it is impossible to have
laundry work done for love or money
when away from home. For general
use shirt waist suits, of white or tan
linen, Of a medium weight ana
strictly tailormade, are most useful
and stylish. The medium weight linen
is preferred because 1t Is so much more
easily laundered than the heavy kind.
The shirt waists Of these suits are
made very plainly, with some plaits
and hand embroidery Of simple design;
the skirts are usually killed to the
knees, and in length are about two
inches from the ground, unless one
wants a real "trotter," in which case
provided it is well cut and hung, from
three to three and half inches from
the ground Is not too short for grace.
The shirt waist suit Is not, however,
only severe tailormade garment. IL
NAV be constructed Of almost any ma
terial from the softest, sheerest null
| to the stiffest linen, its distinctive
features being a skirt Of walking
length and shirt waist which, no
matter what the material used, Is MADE
without lining. 1t may be worn al
most upon any occasion, provided 1t Is
Of suitable material.
Many Of the smartest new blouses
In linen, silk or wool are cut down
slightly at the neck and worn with
| shallow guimpe and collar Of lace or
open work embroidery, or with a plalt-
ed little vest and turnover collar of fine
lawn. In some cases these blouses
have short sleeves with turnback GUNS
over undersleeves matching the
guimpe, but more often the sleeves are
entirely Of the blouse material with
only the relief of adjustable turnback
cuffs matching the guimpe and collar.
- One Of the prettiest evening wraps
and one which almost any deft-fnger-
ed girl can make for herself, happens,
fortunately, to be the newest OF fash
ions-the circular cape. 1t Is long,
and being circular is full enough TO
fall into graceful, ripping lines Moth
ing before ever seemed to quite take
the place Of the old-fashioned fur lin
