Wise Summer Clothes
Tor the Business Girl

tiles may be purchased if one only
takes the trouble TO look over bargain
sales. Gowns do not require as much
material this season as they did last
and such an evening gown, with its
trimmings of Nalenciennes lace. will
cost very little.
The business woman who can a ffors
q more elaborate evening gown thar
~organdie will find figured lace net Of
good quality very useful; or one Of tha
liberty satin, or wolfe or creme do
chine. The latter fabric is associated
with afternoon and house gowns 90
that it is not easy to make up a really
smart-lOoking evening gown of crene
de chine The other materials make
up well, however, and clean and wear
wei. n net must be of good quality,
and either white or cream color II
should be hung up, since net is ant to
crush in folding, and great care rn,st
always be taken of a net gown in order
to preserve its freshness.
Liberty satin can actually be washed
and ironed at home without showing
any i'll effects from such treatment GO
that it makes a very durable goyp
where one wants something that viii
wear q long time, stand making over
and. eventually, dyeing.
POngees also recommend themselves
to the business women because thew

are cool and light. Pongees serve ali
sorts of purposes, according to the color
Of the Gown, and for other silk gowns
and voiles pongee makes up into the
most useful possible separate coats.
The business oma who owns a
smart afternoon gown of light wool,
silk or crepe de chine is confronted nv
the problem of requiring shoes the color
of her gown. This is an
which few can afford. 1t is possible
however, to have spats made of pieces
Of the dress, and these may be worn
with black or white slippers and serve
as dressy looking footwear.
AS to stockings, Isle thread hose wear
we'll and are cooler than II other sort.
Nice qualities. Of Isle thread look about
as we'll as silk, and in simple colors.
worn inconspicuously, they will do for
any gown.
Neckwear is so important a consider
alton with the business woman that she
cannot a too much attention to it.
There are many tempting displays of
neckwear, and the wise woman will
select a OF a washable kind, for she
knows that h can always launder
lace, while embroidery requires more
attention than she can give to it.
a marrow edge of white net. pleated
or laid in a old at the tops of stocks,
will keep them clean for some time,
since the net may be replaced, n lace
edges are saved in this manner. 1t is
quite smart to wear marrow folds OF
net or chiffon above the edges OF
stocks.
Narrow tabs II butterfly ends, as
we'll as shaped a b of lace, are al
smart methods of finishing off lace
stocks. 1t viii be found necessary, also,
to sew little upright bones in them in
Crder to keep them neat.
Stocks made Of two kinds of lace are
smart, and bits of left over lace may
be utilized in this II
If a dainty piece of neckwear is
needed a boa may be made of knotted
loops Of ribbon seWed all over a wide
strip Of satin just long enough to pass
around the neck. This kind Of boa will
wear better than any other sort, and
Will always look pretty. 1t may be
made of cheap ribbon and will furnish
pleasant employment for an evening at
home.
The working woman's gloves are a
consideration. She will find black and
white Isle thread or silk the best for
summer wear, but she will need to keep
them forever mended and washed in
order to have her hands look always
neat and attractive. Plain gloves are
always in better taste thar fancy ones.
A woman's winter garments should
be Of good material, and so she should
consider how she ma ave upon her
summer wardrobe, which need never be
of expensive materials in order to look
we'll. BY selecting materials with
judgment, q business woman may pro-
cure a number of thin summer dresses.
But cleaning should be considered be-
fore any are made up, since upon their
freshness depends their beauty.
