cry envious. jealous and fault
finding germs. and you VIII
come right up In the beauty class. Never
look upon your neighbors motor and
wish YOU didn't have TO stand in trolley
car hanging to a strap, or never envy the
other woman her Paquin gown or Rebeau
hat or you will frighten Miss Loveliness
away No. put from you these rebeliious
thoughts and your snub nose won't appear
"snubby' or your large mouth other than
veritable Cupid's bow.
The light of high thinking Will then
ilumine your countenance and the world
will call you beautiful. Then to make
yourself perfectly Irresistible go to a spe-
ciarst and take the laugh-and- smile cure.
for to laugh is the latest society fad. Not
long ago Richard LIE Gallianne pictured
prominent society girls in a magazine arti-
Gle entitled THE Poetry of a Woman's s
Smile Power is the smile upon the
fac, o. beauty he wrote, and to acquire
this pull smart women are taking les
sons in the art of smiling prattily.
So when you see girl with beWitch-
ing smile nowadays and a discreet and
musical laugh be sure that 1t is much
practice that has made perfect. To en-
hance the beauty of her smile she will
probably wear the blouse of white chiffon
pictured herewith. This creation Is very
new and chic with its dainty tucks and
ruffies of val. lace. Tn. bolero of baby
Irish lace edged with val. is charming
note on the blouse. and enameled buttons
are part of the decorative scheme. A
new silk and velvet plaid fabric develops
the gown in the other illustration. The
circular skirt is attractiVey carried out
In the tartan. and the surpliced waist and
draped sleeves are very effective.
Fashions in Lace Blouses.
The handsomest blouses show the coarse
meshed laces more than the fine ones.
Nothing touches in favoritIsm the old
fashioned weave of flet which was
brought out for curtains and then used on
velvet dinner gowns. The designs in it
are not what they were for curtains. The
Egyptian horses. cows and proflles of
women would not look pretty plastered
over the chest and back OF a twentieth
century girl. She would look too much
like scenery in miniature from Aida"
The geOmetrical designs are used and
are very pretty when not too bold. The
foundation weave is of coarse thread
with wide holes and firmly put together.
The economy of buying good piece of
flet lace is that 1t is always in good taste
and wears as long as one ever cares to
use 1t. 1t can serve on a blouse, then as
a gulmpe, can trim hat be converted
into a collar for an evening coat or
street coat for spring and can drift down
into a square surrounded by linen for
luncheon table.
Belts to Suit All Tastes.
There Is not a dress accessory in
madames trousseau that Is of more i'm
portance than her belts. 1t is essential
for her to look we'll to this part Of her
wearing apparel. She has wide latitude
from which to choose this season and may
wear either a very narrow belt, medium
size or one wide as six inches.
Some modistes believe firmly in the
wide belt for every person, fat or thin,
long wasted or short WASTED. This,
to believe that woman weighing $50
pounds or 200 pounds. hipess or hippy,
will welcome the sight of a deep girdle
or belt. Neither will the woman who has
been inoculated with the tiny waist germ
take kindly to a slx-lnch belt. for the
narrow belt helps toward producing the
waspike waist.
Elastic belts and girdles are seen in
great numbers. and they are just as pret-
ty and attractive as ever.
A style Of belt that holds good from
season to season Is the type that is wide
at the back and narrows at the front,
where 1t Is ciasped with ordinary glove
clasps. This gives the long waist appear
ance and also an effect of slenderncss.
Crushed belts are much in vogue. These
are used on reception and calling gowns
They are sometimes made of the material
of the frock and at others of the trim
ming. A new variety Is the combination
of leather and elastic. These are wide in
the back and narrow toward the front,
where they fasten with wide clasp.
One advantage in the silk girdles is that
they may be made at home. Any woman
who is at all clever with her needle can
make all of her girdles. 1t takes three
