Finds Net Waist Good Sub
stitute for Combination
Now Out.
IT MAY BE WORN
WITH ANY SKIRT
Can Be Bought at Moderate Price
or in Elaborate Pat
terms.

If one can tear ones self away from
She alluring maze OF smart frOcks to be
seen in F street any bright morning or
afternoon, and get inside a few of the
focal shops, there can be found almost
everything TO take ones attention-and
money. They are all there, from the
big. swOOping feather-laden hats to the
smart boots that the girl OF tho new
season Will wear.
Dame Fashion has never been over
Kind 10 the girl with small means. and
now that the one-piece dress has come
along to supplant the separate waist
and skirt cOmbmation-a combination
which worked much ease Of mind to the
aforesaid girl with small means-there
is a never-ending scramble for some
thing 70 Mt in the gaD-meaning the
space OF time intervening until the
same girl may add one Of these newer
gowns to her wardrobe.
Net Waist Pretty.
One Of the most acceptable and surely
one OF the prettiest affairs OF this kind
IS the net waist, which may be worn
with any shirt and give the wearer a
touch Of smartness. The most stylish
or these waists are those OF heavy
fish net which are cut absolutely
plain. although made up in wide tucks.
The Iucks run up and down and the
game idea Is carried out in the sleeves
only the tucks run crosswise. These
waists are Of moderate price. too, for
II is possible to get them anywhere from
$3.50 up. The net is used also in more
elaborate patterns-aLmost elaborate
enough to be used for evening wear.
The same prices prevail in these models
as the others with possibly only a slight
variation where the establishment is
more elaborate.
The new seasons waists. whether
for street, afternoon or evening wear,
are all built on severely straight lines.
The sleeves are long but very tight
hitting, and one cannot help but think
When looking them over what the next
spdsm OF fashion viii be when Il comes
10 giving the good old lingerie waist
another push from the path OF popular
lty. Even the fancy satin and heavy
lace waists are drawn down tight TO
the waist line and one can hardly recon
Gle this freak Of the new season with
the absolutely imperative 1OOseness OF
the Dreetoire mode.
Fancy Slippers Rage.
Fancy slippers will be the rage this
season, and the girl who wants to be
right up 10 date viii add this fascinat-
ing little item 10 her list when making
her plans for her New Year wardrobe.
Gold and silver are among the most
popular and may be fashioned at home
with Ear less expense than one could
POSSIBLY purchase them in the shops.
An ordinary pair Of black or. prefer
ably. light shade. which would lend
Itself more readily to the color de-
sired. may be gilded or silvered Just
as milady plsases. The gilt OF silver
may be found in any Of the big de-
pertinent stores. and In a few hours,
with the aid Of a tiny brush, any girl
who chooses may have a dainty pair
of fancy slippers for almost any occa-
sion.
These are only a few of the things
which the girl of moderate means may
have If she takes the time to look or
them. There is no reason why such
a girl may not be quite as successful
IN her appearance as a girl who is
luCkier in having more Of the world S
goods, only IL means going to Just
q bit more trouble.
