body while the senate. the humane
societies and the communes that are

attitude was based purely on sanitary

Shirt Patterns.
In shirts the freshest idea is to match
the bosom with body Of different pat
tern. For instance. where the bosom ana
cuffs are striped, the. body is of preciseiy
the same shade Of ground but figured
and vice versa. Another modification re-
garded as notably smart Is a figured
bosom, a striped body and plain white
cuffs. This Is not a long step from the
contrasting. body of solid color with
which we are familiar. yet 1t Is SUM
ciently different to command attention.
Waistcoats have changed so little an

are welcome indeed. Four OF them IN

by small buttons. 1t Will be seen that
this departure from conventional forms
permits of a wide and pleasing diversity
of models. One has lapels extending 10 10
the bottom points and buttoned back at
the Sides Another is a one-button waist
coat for informal evening wear. The
flap in this instance Is more than orna-
mental, in that 1t serves to conceal the
bottom edge OF the shirt. which some

of inserting silk handkerchief. Another
garment is decidedly unique, with the
edges extending straight to the bottom

side to complete the effect.
