Very few strictly tailored garments
are seen, even the long coated linens
such as occasionally appear having
rather an out Of date look.
Transparent lace is a favorite trim
ming for smart tub dresses, and ba-
tiste and null embroidery Ii another
charming and fashionable decoration.
Wells form important accessories to
the up to date toilet, and there are
almost as many varieties and as many
ways Of arranging them as there are
people to wear them.
Very smart skirt suits, or, rather,
three piece suits, are made with plaid
ed silk skirt, and coat and waist Of
plain silk, matching the predominant
ing color In the plaid.
Many Of the linen and mercerized
gowns show little vests Of contrasting
color or material, sometimes both, but
toned blindly or straight down the
