the three-quarter and the. long coat of
last year which, in the heavy linen,
made very chic5s combination in con-
junction with the travelling skirt and
jaunty hat.
Short sleeves, even with the outer coat,
are displayed. and the deep gfrdle gives
to the woman who is sdesiroussof putting
a personal touch even to the most severe
linen suit. an opportunity to search for
the dull. faded tints so popular just now.
Directoire and empire notifications en-
ter into the princess idea this season,
girdling below the bust, across the top
of the bust or above the br1st-and there
are many frocks in which the princess
is obtained by trimming or by a contin-
uous front panel, while the rest of the
frock is cut in two parts and Joined by
lace, Insertions or some form of girdle
around the sides and back.
Outside the lingerie province the plain
and figured nets, chiffon and silk NOUS
seline silk gauze Grape and all the very
sheer silks are suitable for summer and
evening wear; fine voile and eohenne,
too, are used where expense and service
ability are vital considerations. And a
very simple made frock of sheer white
yoile with no trimming save nuns plaits
on the skirts and with some good lace
in guimpe and sleeves is not only very
serviceable and inexpensive froek, but a
very girlish and pretty one as well.
Going back for a moment to the lin
gerie frock of the bebe lines it goes with
out saying that these and the linen prin-
cess, as well viii never go into the tub,
but that is true of many an elaborate
linen frock, not in the princess line. The
form which the linen princess takes is
that of frock with embroidery panel all
the way down the front.
Fortunately for those who cannot afford
to put a great amount of money into lace
and embroidery for trimming the thin
lace frocks, of which one needs a plenti-
full supply during the summer, it is not
necessary that such a frock should have
applied trimming on the skirt. As mat
ter of course, many models have skirts
elaborately trimmed with inset lace
bands. medallions, embroideries. etc; but
on the other hand the tendency toward
plainness Of skirt observed in the winter
frocks is running over into the coming
season. and one sees some of the very
prettiest new voiles, silks. cottons. ETC.,
trimmed only in self tucks.
A surprising variety is brought about
by grouping Of these tucks. There is the
deep Spanish fiounce with a two~inch or
three-inch hem and tucks of the same
width spaced regularly over the whole Of
the founce. a similar tuck drops oyer
the head of the Aounce and three others
are set on the skirt above the ruffle, so
that the effect is that Of a skirt tucked
at regular intervals half way to the waist
line.
Did you ever find that you accomplish
ed any more by rushing wildly about
your duties. talking constantly Of how
much you have to do? There are people
whom a press Of work always affects
like that The idea that other tasks
wait beyond the present duty. seems to
upset them and peculiarly unfit them for
doing the Immediate thing well.
Good work is never done in frantic
hurry. The thing to do is 70 centre the
mind upon the present task, as if it We're
the only thing to be done. So it is. for
the time being. One day at time; one
hour at time; even one minute at
time; always one thing at time.
This is not only the most thorough way
to do things. but in the long run. 1t is
far the quickest way. People who do the
most work are always the talinest. the
most unhurried. Press Of work naver
fiusters them. With calm spirit they
work methodically, doing one thing at a
time, doing Of well, and working swiftly
