ed. and the whole outfit come to a
mere trif1e.
Organdies cost from IL to 25 cents a
yard for very pretty qualities. This Is
a price at which more expensive quail

cost very little.
The business woman who can afford
a more elaborate evening gown than

with afternoon and house gowns, so
that 1t Is not easy to make up a really
smart-looking evening gown of crepe
de chine. The other materials make
up we'll. however, and clean and wear
we'll. The net must be of good quality,
and either white OF cream color. It
should be hung up, since net is apt to
crush In folding. and great care must
always be taken OF a net gown in order
to preserve It's freshness.
Liberty satin can actually be washed

silk or crepe de chine is confronted by
the problem of requiring shoes the color
of her gown. This is an extravaganza
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.

alton with the business woman that she
cannot pay too much attention to it.
There are many tempting displays of
neckwear. and the wise woman will
select lace of Il washable kind, for she
knows that she can always aunder
lace. while embroidery requires more
attention than she can give to 1t.

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 than fancy ones.
A woman's winter garments should
be of good material. and so she should
consider how she may save upon her
