is the proper finish for the neck.
Useful Afternoon Gown.
Next to the shirt waist suit for use
| fulness is the afternoon home dress,
or luncheon gown. When one wants
to drop the useful but not put on the
elaborate dress. For these pretty CO.'S
demand. but 1t is cut longer than for
the skirt waist suit and Is finished

fies. or sometimes it has a deep French
! founce fastened to a yoke, or 1t may
be accordion plated.
These home gowns are usually of
nuns yelling, albatross and soft woods
OF whatever name. The waist and
sleeves match the skirt, that is, the
foundation does. They usually are cut
away to show more or less elaborate
chemisettes, and the sleeves reach only
to the elbow, finishing in dressy UNI
dersleeve.
1t must be noticed that the two Co.'S
tunes just described call for two dis
tinct varieties of skirt and they must
differ in cut and hang to be in keeping
with their purpose. while the same pat
| tern may be used for both. The after
noon skirt is circular like the walking
skirt. but If to be used for afternoon 1t
must be demi-train and dressy-if for
evening wear it must be very long, fost,
graceful and fluffy. The walking skirt
as described above must be severe and
simple and escape the ground.
Study the Person Who Wears Il.
In choosing and planning skirt
please keep in mind that the person
to wear it must be studied more than
the skirt Misunderstanding for the stout
person the long vertical lines and for
the tall woman Jokes and flounces to
make dividing lines and to give
breadth.
The colors shown this season in rib
bons, silks, woods and velvets are en-
chanting and must prove invariable
becoming. Old rose, raspberry red and
shades of pink are very popular. Even
broadcloth suits are being worn in
these prevailing soft, pinkish tones.
Color Features Are aDinty.
There have been many predictions
of pure white summer and of
course there will always be plenty Of
white frocks worn, but the beautiful
and becoming colors which are feat
ure of the spring goods can by no
means be passed by. Some of these ex-
quisite shades are in material suit
able for evening wraps, and one lead
ing New York house has a wonderful
display Of colored suits and popular
Alice blue. The only drawback to this
feast of color is the danger of the
wrong shade being donned by the
wrong coloring. The pale dull skin
can safely choose the reseda and dull
reds, and the rosy full face must be
set above greys and greens.
| Charming Blue Suit.
A charming blue suit was particu-
larly noticeable at this opening,
to select any one in particular. 1t was
of soft and silky but firm cloth, cut
with plain sircular skirt touching the
floor. Three wide bands Of blue velvet
Of exactly the same shade az the dress
were laid in folds Stimulating tucks
around the bottom Of the skirt. one fold
