WHERE ONE COSTUME is LIMIT.
For the Majority There Is No substi-
tute for the Coat and Skirt Suit.

The great mass of American girls
and women cannot make many choices
in clothes. They can afford one cos
tune, which must serve for the greater
number of hours, and rely on one ar
tistic costume or several simple ones
to wear during the other hours.
While there is a tendency to substi-
tute the topcoat for the coat suit this
should be yielded to with care and dis
cretion. The pocketbook, ones man.
ner of life, the climate, should be
taken into consideration.
For the majority of women there
should be no substitute for the coat
suit. 1t passes muster where many
other kinds of gowns fail. American
women are busy; many are wage
earners, thousands attend to the
majority of their own outdoor errands,
and lead life far removed from the
well-placed Europeans.
There are secluded women who do
not enter actively into any outdoor life
and who venture from their houses
more often for social occasions and
church than on any other errand.
These prefer the blouse suit, for it
serves nearly all their purposes. The
top coat gives warmth for day and
evening.
For all the others a coat suit is al
most a necessity, unless one prefers
separate rough skirt with blouses to
match. The trouble with the one
piece suit as daily garment for the
middle Of winter Is that when the ma
terial is thin enough for the SSuse
the skirt is too chilly for the street;
when the material is warm enough for
the street, the blouse is too hot for

Woman Needs Sixteen Bags.

Bags are such essentials for the
modish young woman that many
bridal gifts take that form. At least
16 bags are needed, including the
1eweled bag for slippers and fan and
other pretty things for the ball, in ad-
dition to the bag the belle keeps at
her side during the dance. There is
the dainty silk and padded bag for the
nightdress when she goes visiting.
When at home 1t lies below the pillow
on the lace spread in the up-todate
bed chambers. These bags must have
the monogram of the owner in silk.
usually they have exquisite lace fril-
lings on the covers. Then there are
loose silk bags for fine costumes. espe-
cially the handembroidered chiffons
and laces that must be laid away so
carefully to preserve their freshness.
