With the return of the normal waist

once moro uppcrmost in the minds of
those who pay special attention to de-
talIS ~ the costume Many attractive
belts are shown in the shops, and there
are countless novelties in the shape Of
buckles or other belt fastcnings
For morning wear a crush belt Of
suede or Kid is finding favor. The vogue
OF buttons as dress trimming has
spread to belts Of this description. for
they are clcyCrly fastened 10y means of u
large button and huttonhole. II rests with

The silk elastic belt, which has been

popularity The rage for Persian pat

kinds is responsible for many stunning
hcltings Of this kind. Beaded and jcttcd
ones are seen. while those hand cmhroid-
cred in colors are by no means in the
background. Belts Of this style in most
delicate shadings will be seen much for
afternoon wear
For evening wear there are the most
/ elaborate creations in belts. Belts of
gold and silver naturally are decidedly
expensive, and when studded with semi
precious stones they are very costly.
Ropes of Roman pearls, used as belts,
long popular in ltaly's capital, are find
ing their way in greater number than
ever to this side of the water. Ropes,
toe, of gold or silver cord, calling 10
mind the gorgeous curtain cords of the
oldcn days, will be worn. These are
finished with tasselS of elaborate design.
The day has conc by when any old

such nll-around satisfaction. Such suits
are pcrcnually made with skirts short
