Smart Tub Dress.
The girl who intends to have some
thing stylish and out of the ordinary will
make the skirt of her tub frock from
white linen and the coat from pink or
blue. and braid each in self-color Car
rying out the same idea IN wooden ma
terials the coat will be of darker shade
than the skirt. even though tho. colors be
the same.
Before the material is stamped the
coat should be finished with the excep-
ton of Innings and facings and the skirt
completely finished. BY so doing the de-
sign can be arranged in exactly the posi-
ton desired. and the effect will be much
more satisfactory than if first braided
and then made up.
The cuffs and scollar of the coat are
braided before attached. If the garment
is of tub material it should be Numbered
before worn.
To iron 1t have a we'll pa dded board and
lay the skirt right side down. With irons
as hot as can be used without scorching
press material until perfectly dry.
Luxurious Parasol Handles.
The woman who can afford to be up-to-
date has the tips. stick and handle. of her
parasol match. This has been done for
several seasons. but this year she will
have the tips and handle Of the stick of
tortoise shell and the handle of gold.
either plain or jewel studded. or perhaps
the stick is continued into hooked han
die of tortoise shell overlaid with de-
sign of gold filgree.
The woman who wants TO give a hand
some prize for a card party could find
nothing more acceptable than one OF
these parasol sets in box.
If the gold and tortoise shell combina-
ton is too expensive. one might have
one of the new handles of enamel i'll some
soft pretty tone of pink. blue or green,
with tips of crystal to go with it.
Hats Without Bandeau.
Many of tie models for spring of lead
ing Partisan millinery show the hat set
straight on the head and without ban
deaux. These straight poised hats are
usually of medium size. when larger
show the round straight or slightly far
ing sailor brim. There is little that is
not conservative in their trimming.
The bowler hat, WITH its pot-sha ped
crown. is at it's best an ugly thing. and
only the most careful arrangement of
trimmings can make it bearable. Crowns
of the new hats are much higher than
those of the late autumn and winter. AS
for brims, some turn UP and some turn
down. while others are of the straight
variety. made 10 suit all faces.
