best hat. 1t could be worn for any in
formal gathering, for it was an uncom-

there was nothing that could be easily
spoiled by rainy weather.
The Blouse Slip.
The lingerie waist which a few seasons
ago was worn unlined generally has a
slip under it this winter.
Women have found that 1t neither pays
nor is becoming to have chronic colds in
the head. They have learned wisdom.
Each woman should own at least three
slips to do duty for number of blouses.
They can be made either of thin china
silk or of good quality of lawn. but in
any case must be something that will
stand frequent washing.
1t Is mistake to make slips of heavy
silk, as they are both too bulky and warm

Fasten garters at back into a half-inch
tape that is sewed light to the underarm
seams.
Leave the front free and adjust fullness
each time it is put on. This makes laun-

The sleeves should be plain and not

blouses made with different length
sleeves. or the cuff can be buttoned at the

really surprisingly warm. Both colored
and white slips are worn this season.
Though these slip Innings can be
bought, it is much wiser for girl even
a busy one, to make her own, as the ma
terials are better and little work is re-
quired.
Velvet Coats Smart.
FelSets of various weaves and finishes
and in all colorings are unusually prom
inent wherever fashionable women con-
gregate. Black velvet coats are worn
quite as much for evening as for dress
wear during the day. These are bright
ened in various ways by the employment
of handsome buttons and also by the in
PRODUCTION of color in their trimmings.
