The Society Woman in Street Garb

giving or accepting a luncheon at some elaborate costume is in order. she wears dark velvet or silk with a skirt escap- ing the ground-for she economies ln cabs whenever possible-but a rather ornate waist of the same material. and a large hat carrying plumes or flowers. Tkis winter she is getting a black satin demi business dress, made with e simple skirt, and q satin and mallnette waist enlivened with rhinestones, buttons and buckles. This dress, worn with a blocked black satin Lydig hat and a caraeul coat will look exceedingly swagger and be quite elaborate enough to wear to debu- tante's reception or a tea in case she has not the timesto run home and change her costume after a business luncheon. In fact the manner of her dressing enables her to keep pace with her social position which undeniably gives her prestige with a certain class of clients.
 Mrs. de Quickwit's shirt waists are the acme of good taste. They are of rather heavy linen, severly tailored. for trsveling and mornings, but for exceedingly warm days when the cobweb seems like a burden, she substitutes blouses of finely tucked batiste or linen of French manu facture, made dainty with hand embruid cred collars and cuffs. She also has sey eral white and black lace and chiffon blouses which she uses with her tailored suits when a more elaborate frock wouli rot be perfectly suitable. Another femi nine frivolity to which she gives way in purchasing her business outfit. is the gratifying of her fancy for handsome kid and leather belts with ornamental silver aEd gold buckles, accessories which give the last touch of elegance ic q were costume.

 Winter boots have sensible soles and heels and are as conscientiously polished as any mans. but in summer Mrs. de Quickwit allows herself rather more lati- tude in this respect and with her favor ite cOiored linen suits. dons the prevailing shade of brown kid. and with white cos tunes adopts the canvass walking shoes which are so easily kept clean and are so comfortable for hot weather.

 "Petticoats are a serious problem for every business woman. and as Mrs. de Quickwit cannot endure a dusty skirt of any type, she daily dons a fresh one which In color precisely matches her gown. This Is managed by having sev- eral sateen petticoat tops to which are buttoned wide silk Gornres.

travel in public conveyances, will nat urally be interested in evening millinery. Nothing, of course. is so dressy as the velvet chapeau, and the handsomer the feathers and flowers which trim it. the more ultra its mode. The fancy this sea son is for one handsome plume rather than a number of ostrich feathers of smaller size. Gainsboro shapes are very mOdish and this Is probably the reason, though the single plume idea Is not con. fined to this shape alone. Straight brimmed shapes with all the jauntiness of the summers sailor are seen with one iOng feather curling from the side of the crown down over the brim into the neck. and the small toques which yet are not many. but presage later vogue for small effects, are conspicuous for this same trimming scheme. Fur hats while confined as yet to motoring headgear may come out strong a little later in the season. There is no telling; doubtless It will be the case. but fur trimmings are now quite conspicuous. Ermine is beau tiful combined with dark blue or black velvet, so Is Persian lamb or chinchiila. while mink Is general fsvorite with brown and all the fashionable shades and tones of this warm color.
 Because one must remove the hal at the theater or any public place Of amuse- uicnt many women make the dressy after neon chapeau serve both uses, being sure to select q color that tones well with all costumes. Black and white are old standbys thnt represent high style and much practical service, either one har- monizing perfectly with any color with which choses to combine them.

We dress Mrs. Mercer de Quickwit for business as well as for society" explained
 the fashionable dressmaker to a customer
 who was gazing sdmiringly after a de
 parted woman, but while she Is willing
 to trust, to our taste in the designing of evening and reception gowns, she has def- nite ideas about feminine business garb and will have nothing else. Yes. she's made a tremendous success of selling houses. yachts and real estate on commis- sion and much of 1t Is due to her trim appearance. More than one man has ex- pressed confidence in her earnestness be- cause of the absence of fipperies In her toilet All of her street costumes, consist- ing chiefly of walking skirts and plain coats, are strictly tailor-made, but of the best materials, as alternating with other suits, they are expected to do duty for sev- eral years. Four times annually she or ders one cloth tailoT-nade of seasonable weight For instance she Is now wearing that new black ard blue striped cloth win ter costume which, while exceedingly plain, Is perfectly fitted and tailored, and warm enough to alternate with her last seasons suit and a regulation rain-proof costume whenever the weather Is stormy.
 After January when Mrs. de Quickwit visits Aiken. Asheville. Jacksonville and other fashionable winter-summer resorts and also runs out to the Pacific Coast. she will wear white, ecru and dark blue linen tailored suits, but no matter how tropical the weather, she would not dream of ap- preaching a business man while wearing lingerie frock.
 For the mild days of our uncertain northern spring, my sensible customer. who realizes the effect of cheerful clothing upon the disposition, usually gets a suit of tan or a gray Inohair. or one of those fashionable rough silks. instead of yelling or voile. which soon becomes stringy with hard wear. In summer she supplements her winter wardrobe with a dark silk or lansdowne costume which latter fabric, by the way. sheds the dust and wears in- definitely.
 With her cloth costume, Mrs de Quickvit wears strictly tailored hats of the most expensive type, devoting time and care to their selection, for she realizes the value of becoming headgear, especially for business woman. as men have q wonderful respec:-nay, veneration-for the feminine hat. Straw hats are neces- sarily a bit less severe, but on them plumes and flowers are tabooed and bits of meaningless lace and ribbon have TO place. She's exceedingly careful, too. about her veils They are Invariably fresh and in- conspicuous ard never arranged frcGkish- ly. such as the fad for draping yards Of chiffon over the back of the hat and al lowing It to iv wildly m ,Ee vasrant breezes f<9
 But in addit.~d to her quartet, of tai- lored cloth costumes, Mrs. de Quickwit provides herself witl several other frocks for business use. For instance. when
