eests the word "merino" although the
ancientness of the term shocks the
fastidiousness Of the modern salesman
with his technical vocabulary. These
little checks are capable of becoming
exceedingly effective and chic II treat
ed with the proper turnover collar and
cuffs. One of the prettiest ways or
dealing with the plaids in the soft
thin fiannels Is to lay the finest tucks
diagonally across the goods, following
the edges Of one Of the strips Of plaid.
This. IL carried both ways, forms the
little tuck all the way around some
one large square wherever 1t appears,
and adds both in looks and the way
the goods Stands" There Is fancy
for returning to the waist without
fullness again, and peculiar way OF
achieving this result Is to lay fiat
plait on each side from the shoulder
towards the middle Of the front and
stitch under it a rever Of contrast
ing material. The center of the goods
Is then cut v shaped and buttoned all
the way down with small buttons, the
appearance being that Of a waistcoat.
For colored shirts many materials
are offered. Chief among them Is a
mercerized linen poplin, procurable In
all sorts Of delightful shades, which
does not crush easily because Of the
silk finish. Another poplin weave
comes I'm delicate fawn lime green and
the new shades of raspberry, and nu-
merous plain -colored linens are shot
with white. A peculiarly dainty mad
ras was patterned In tan and white
with large crossbars Of faintest blue.
When extra warmth is desired, blouses
may be fashioned from the charming
figured chaEis and silk-and-wool
weaves, such as lansdowne, and may
be trimmed with appliques of en-
broidered batiste and imitation Irish
lace combined. Imitation Brusse's
with stitched medallions Of batis.e Is
also used. The latter are inserted In
the material: the Others are Of course,
laid on it. White is still in vogue,
and many Of the white blouses Of sub
stantial linen are made with fronts set
with groups of tucks, with eyelet or
padded embroidery worked on linen
between the groups, or with plaits ex-
tending across the front In yoke effect
and with a strip Of embroidery down
the center. and collar and cuffs to
match.
One of the most striking things
about the best dressed women Is the
temperance Of their waists. In the
tailor made costumes the pouches are
scarcely perceptible, and replaced by
small and graceful waistcoats, which
make the waist appear smaller. Even
where these are omitted, and there Is
a chemisette, 1t Is drawn tightly into
the belt. White linen and white mar
seilles waistcoats, fastened with gold
and mother of pearl buttons, are so
we'll worn, however, with the fall
tailor mades, accompanied by fine linen
shirtwaist collar and cravat, and are
so happy in effect upon the figure,
that they safely may be invested In as
a fall bargain purchase which Is war
ranted to be good all next summer.
Touches Of lingerie will prevail on
The winter waists mainly in the col
lars and turnovers. and the handker-
chief linen waists, hand embroidered
and inset with valenciennes lace, are
being brought in for winter wear.
The allover valenciennes is also made
into lovely lace blouses, which, by the
way, are mostly lined with thin chiffon
this year instead Of silk, thus making
it necessary To resort to a separate
silk inning underneath.
