7 he Society Woman IN Street Garb

We dress Mrs. Mercer de Quickwit for
business as well as for society" explained
the fashionable dressmaker to a customer
who was gazing admiringly after deg
parted woman, but while she is willing
to trust to our taste in the designing Of
evening and reception gowns, she has def
mite 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 commits
sion and much of 1t is due to her trim
appearance. More than one man has eI-
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 sew
eral years. Four times annually she or
ders one cloth tailor-made of seasonabls

that new black and blue striped cloth win

is perfectly fitted and tailored, and warm

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

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 gray Lnohair, or one of those
fashionable rough silks, instead Of yelling
or wolfe, which soon becomes stringy with
hard wear In summer she supplements
her winter wardrobe with dark silk or
Iansdowne costume which latter fabric. by
the way, sheds the dust and wears in
definitely.
with her cloth costume, Mrs. de
Cuickwit wears strictly tailored hats Of
the most expensive type, devoting time
and care to their selection, for she realizes
tie value Of becoming headgear, especially
for q business woman. as men have a
wonderful respec.-nay, yeneration-for
the feminine hat Straw hats are neces-
sarfly q bit less severe, but on them
plumes and flowers are tabooed and bits Of
meaningless lace and ribbon have no place.

fashionable hotel or club where a rather
elaborate costume is in order, she wears
a dark velvet or silk with a skirt escap-
ing the ground-for she economies In
cabs whenever possible-but a rather
ornate waist of the same material, and
large hat carrying plumes or flowers. This
winter she is getting a black satin demi-
business dress, made with a simple
skirt, and q satin and malinette waist
enlivened with rhnestones, buttons and
buckles. This dress. worn with a blocked
black satin Lydig hat and a caracul 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 time to run home and change her
costume after 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.

purchasing her business outfit, is the
gratifying of her fancy for handsome

silver and gold buckles, accessories which
give the last touch Of elegance to a Sc

For use with dark gowns, the reguIs-
