season comparable to this. Advice
from Paris indicate that the early fal
will see a marked change iii style. bu
this summer we have had period o
undecided style, if we may use sucl
an expression. II woman preferred
big hat, she might have one; if sh,
preferred small one, she was equally
in style. To be sure. the big hats
the so-called 'peach-baskets," were
more numerous on the streets of New
York during the carly summer, but
women who sought distinction in gart
very early abandoned these extreme anc
unbecoming creations.
1t is, as you realize, always advisable
TO abstain from extremes in every de-
tail OF dressing, particularly If your
purse does not allow OF your having
great variety OF clothing. Of nc
feature of your costume is this more
advisable than in the item of hats. II
you must content yourself with two
hats. endcavor to have them in the pre-

Latest Hats
l am showing you in this page a
number Of hats exhibited by fashionable
New York and Paris millncrs. They
are all straws and range from the
simple Panama. adorned with flowing
ribbon, through a modified flower hat,
up to the most expensive Paris crea-
tion-the bottom photograph of the
group-a large black straw with masses
OF ostrich feathers and plumcs.
AS necessary an article of dressing,
however, is the shirt-waiSt once the util-
ity garb of the woman who worked in
an Office, but now the favorite garment
for suitable occasions for the rich as
well as for the sclf-supporting Every
woman should have number OF these
garments III her wardrobe, and for the
woman who likes to occupy herself with
occasional sewing, l am giving some
useful suggestions for the making of
the newest shirt-waists.
The Latest shirt.waist
1t would seem that the designers
must sometimes reach the end of
invention, and be unable to devise
any further variation OF tuck and
plat, whereby to diversity the tailored
Shirt-waist The more decorative gar
mcnt-the lingerie waist, so-called-by
reason of insettings of lace and embroid-
cry offers fewer obstacles to originality,
but the tailored waist, demanding sim
piclty and severity of line, can command
no such assistance.
There is one feature available. how
ever, in the varied effects afforded by the
different methods of closing. The SIM
plcst is the plain box-plait, buttoning
through the center with moderately
large pearl buttons The edges are
stitched, and many of this seasons mod
els show narrow, plated frill at each
edge, though the new detachable frills
arc frequently made with buttonhoes
in the central band. through which they
may be attached to the same pearl but
tons that close the waist.
A Bez-Plait Clooiug
The method of forming the box-plait
at the Shirt-waist closing differs from
the making of an ordinary box-plait.
1t is necessary to dispose Of the raw
edge turned under at the front and to
make neat inside finish, combining the
two operations in as labor saving
method as possible. This is one of the
cases where time-and-labor-sa saving plan
Is eommendable; there are, unfortunate
ly, some others that are less desirable.
An adequate and neat finish on the
inner, concealed side, as we'll as on the
outer, Is what constitutes good crafts
nlanship, no matter to what branch of
The Arts 1t may be applied There is
certainly no more womanly art than that
of the needle, and. though unnecessary
fussiness should be avoided, slip-shod
methods of saving trouble are always
dcplorable.
