New Uses

Two useful new bracelets are the fan
and handkerchief bracelet, The fan
bracelet is in reality little wristchain
to which the fan is attached. This is
much more convenient way Of carrying
the fan than on neck chain. These
wrist fan chains are long enough to
permit quite free handling of the fan.
They are also stiff bracelets to which
chains are attached for this purpose.
The so-called handkerchief bracelet
is something quite new. 1t has been
designed by a woman in society who
knew her own need and that Of her
friends. 1t is made Of either silver or
gold and is for the purpose of holding
the handkerchief on the wrist instead
Of putting 1t up the sleeve, where for
long time it has found its hiding
place. Indeed, SO many handkerehiefs
have been lost thru wearing them up
the sleeve that the new bracelet now
appears as we'll thought-out neces-
sity. Originally It was invented for
horseback riding, when women found
it so useful that they continued wear
ing it at other times, especially with
tailor made and woollen gowns.
The design Of the handkerchief brace
let is that Of a long whip. The gold or
silver wire Of which it is made twists
twice around the arm, terminating at
one end with snapper and at the other
with crop-like handle. Then by push
ing the snapper and handle together the
two encircling parts Of the bracelet
open and the handkerchief is slipped
between them. It snaps to again and

Clothes for Daughter.

Ny Dear Miss Lee: I In quandary about my
daughters clothes for this summer. She is 49, about
medium size for her age-but she is peculiar about
her clothes-doesn't like "fuss,' while I, on the
other hand like fancy dresses for girls She has dark
hair and eyes and clear complexion What colors do
you think will look best herr have enough white
duck for kind Of dress for her, but don It know
how to make It, Can you advise met Also have
made blue serge nautical costume-what the
proper decorations for such suitS Do you think the
princesse dresses nice for grlss I think my
daughter would look nice in that style, but have not
any girls wearing them: Can you suggest any
way Of dressing my daughter hair except the pompa
dour and center parted stles9 Her face Is round
that neither style to suit her.
Constant Reader.
Your daughter should look well in cream, ivory,
yellow all the red shades, also yellow, golden brown,
tan fawn, gray, coral and pink, and old rose.
The green's and violets will be rather trying In
gard to the hair can understand the parting being
unbecoming but think If she divided the pompa-
dour In three parts dressing that directly above the
face high possible and putting the sides slightly
1t should be found to suit her face we'll.
The white duck I should make up in skirt and
pony coat suit for with lingerie blouse. Have
seven gored skirt with two side pleats down each
seam, each gore cut with tab extension about knee
length in front graduating towards back which will
overay the pleats holding them in as 1T were, each
tabs the pleats flare to the hem. Make the coat in
pony style, with from the shoulders, covered
with self strappng and close little to the left SIDE
cutting the edge of the right front into tabs at in
tervals which buttonhoes will be worked, CORE
spending buttons being the left 'front.' The
sleeves should be coat and the collar and cuffs may
be Of deep watermelon pink linen, black velvet
preferred. In regard to the sailor suit, the shield
should be Of flannel white linen worked with
red anchor the tie should be soft black silk and the
emblem the left sleeve should be worked in red.
The regulation blouse of course requires belt but
when the gown is not In strictly conventional style
and belt is then white red should be chosen.
A white linen shield, white belt and white canvas
shoes smart accessories for blue serge Dress and
1t goes without saying that the hat to be shall
be the sailor simply trimmed with a ribbon band.
The princess styles should become your daughter
and many young girls wear them here. They are
however, better adapted for best formal wear
