Helpful Hints on What to Wear and
How to Wear IL.
There are two distinct styles OF
dressing for day wear-the simple
tailor made coat and skirt Of cloth for
the morning and elaborate masses or
embroidery, and silk for the afternoon.
There is q marked contrast between
the two styles. and this Is particular
ly noticeable in the sleeve, which, In
the tailor made, is severely plain ana
tight fitting, with a cuff at the wrist;
and in the case Of the more elaborate
frock, ends at the elbow and Is finish
ed by frills.
Most of the coats for little girls
are trimmed with linen or pique COL
lars and cuffs, which are adjustable,
Of course And these sets are made
in a hundred ways. from the simplest
edge with the plainest little scallop
to the most exquisite Of broderie An
glaise or blind work on the sheerest
Of linen. With the pretty little dress
es lingerie hats are worn, with the
soft, full crowns and the sheer little
ruffles Of embroidery rather than lace,
although lace is used. too, but pre-
ferably In combination with embroid-
cry. With her palmer dresses she
wears a straw hat. rather large and
with a dropping brim. untrimmed ex-
cept for a huge bow Of the widest,
softest ribbon that droops with the
brim.
The coats of lace and Of linen,
made elaborate by heavy embroidery
and Irish lace, are being held In re-
serve for warmer days, but are un-
questionably to be among the fads OF
the coming season. All Of the popu-
lar coat models are copied In linen
and pique, though usually In their
simplest forms. The loose coat, long
or short Of linen may be plainly tall
ored. but is more often trimmed In
heavy embroidery and lace. Short
double e-breasted tailored coats, semi
fitting, are smart in linen or pique
with walking skirts Of the same ma
teria Pique, as we have noted be-
fore, has come back into favor, and
the pique short skirt will, as Of yore,
be one Of the summer girls best
friends.
-Organdies and other sheer cotton
stuffs assume more Importance as the
hot months draw near, and the sheer
one tone cottons in all Of the shadings
found among the seasons silks and
woods are among the characteristic
notes of the season. Raised dots
In self tone or eyelet embroidery In
self tone or white are introduced upon
these cottons more often than any
other ornamentation. The embroider-
ed swisses, both in all white and In
color on a white ground, are prettier
than ever before and are finding great
favor Shaded dots or lozenges en-
broidered on white are particularly ef-
fective, and among these designs one
with dots Of varying sizes and shading
from light to dark bright blue sprink-
led over the white surface is especial
ly good.
The best fitting garments, wheth-
er visible or invisible, are those that
are fastened with plenty of buttons
which keep them in place and per-
fectly smooth and do not allow the
garment to gap. The buttons should
be Of a sort that will not break readi-
ly in the laundry. In the wash waist
handsome buttons may be fastened
on with a tiny ring and readily re-
moved when the waist has to go to
the tub. In the waists which fasten
at the back buttons are far more re-
liable than hooks and eyes or hooks
and loops. So few needlewomen make
good buttonholes that they feel a
great temptation to use the hooks
and eyes as being less trouble, but
this is a mistake, just as Is using the
strings in lieu of buttons on under
garments.
With some women the bargain
habit becomes an actual vice. They
buy things because they are cheap,
not because they want them or need
them. The wise woman shops only
when she is in need Of something.
When she buys she goes to q first
class store, Uses her intellect as well
as her fancy when making a selec-
ton, and looks out for durability as
we'll as color and effect. She knows
that because a thing Is cheap Is not
always a reason for buying, and be-
cause thing Is expensive is no rea-
son that It Is the thing she wants.
Some women are naturally good shop
pers. just as some women are natur-
ally good cooks. They are not con-
fused by a large array Of fabrics or
detached from their original ideas by
the display Of a new novelty. In
other words, they use their brains

places.

evidence. not only for whole costumes,
but as relieving notes for darker
