W0S|GN head with anything so
MS&MW exacting as clothes.
She knows that her head must be
troubled with this problem in six more
weeks, and she is saving up her vital
itv for that time. She has got her
clothes for summer, and she has no
idea of getting her clothes for winter.
She wants to enjoy the open air, the
new book, iced meals on the awning
shaded veranda. AS far as 1t is pos
sible she wants to be let alone. She
is quite willing to listen to any over
ture to pleasure, but she is active
ly opposed to any effort toward work.
writes Anne R~ittenhouse, in the New
York Times.
In a way she is a mollusc, in that
she holds on with all her strength
to doing nothing.
She may want to yea the clothes
she has, but she nay not be able to
do it. 1t is rare indeed when a wom-
an is not compelled through inclina-
ton or some forces of circumstances
to rearrange her wardrobe in every
season, no matter how well it is
planned.
She may regard the heated and Ian
guorous midsummer as the most irri-
tating time to think about anything
so simple as a blouse or so terrifying
as a hat and a gown, but ten to one
she must do it. This is true of each
of the four seasons. To save herself
trouble she may use all her wits to-
ward planning and perfecting a ward
robe hat will leave her free for the
rest of the season, but her best laid
plans will go awry.
Some Good New Ideas.
She will learn there are midsummer
fashions as soon as she begins to ex-
pertinent with them. She will be sur
prised to learn how many clever
things are introduced in a dull sea-
son to keep up interest, and how real
ly satisfactory these are when tried
out.
Some of them are entirely new; 9TH
ers were invented much earlier in the
season, but in the rush of many new
things. they were allowed to pass by
without notice.
, The designers themselves take
l great pleasure in introducing scraps
|, of new things, in applying new meth
, DDS, in playing with new ideas. when
! the bulk of the work is over and the
frenzied demand for clothes has some
what ceased. One designer, noted
> for charming things, says that she
2 gets all her inspirations after June.
She explains this by the fearful rush
of the spring. when every woman
wants all her gowns at the same
9 time, and no leisure is allowed for
o suggestions or inspiration.
y AS long as women must look at
clothes and make them or buy them it
Is wise to know some of the interest
ing things that are being done in mid
/ summer gowns. Embroidering white
9 embroidery with colors is a truly
pleasant touch that is brought into
I favor and gains new followers each
3 day.
The eyelet embroidery is bought in
y the real or imitation varieties, and
then its openings are overcast with
vivid tones in mercerized wash floss.
The pale blues and pinks which, in
n other days, every woman chose, have
given way to intense colors, such as
y red, green, purple, black, and yell
low.
These are mixed in with several
other tones, and sometimes three or
