And last we recommend for the

Time was when the young girl look

indeed; but fashions have become so
much more elaborate that, with a lit
lie discrimination. it is quite possible
to single out many q simple enough
hair ornament for the youthful face.
The Little Frilis.
Crisply, narrowly, but decidedly,
the little frills. pleatings and ruffles
are being added to costumes, both
simple and ornate. a charming fem
mime line is attained when the fluffy
edgings are used, for despite the fact
that woman is admirably Independent,
she Is still q woman, and the whitest
Of linen and lace will always be worn
by the majority.
With the collarless Gown there viii
be worn q narrow collarette of linen
or lace. The three-quarter sleeves of
afternoon costumes have the frills of
tullc or net: the bolero will be edged
with narrow lines of pleating or fringe
and even the tailored suit has its frill
ut the opening in the front.
Lace or linen falls in soft pleats
down the front Of a blouse; the short
or sleeves Of the lingerie blouse are
edged with pleated net or sheer linen.
1t is best to attach these to separate
bands that can be removed, So that a
delightful snowinss can lie preserved,
for the frill had far better be con
spicuonsly absent than in an Offend
ing state Of luncleanliness.
The Drawn-In Gown.
Women are still insistent in the nat
ter of the retention OF the slender sill
houette, and although skirts have
taken unto themselves a more VOlum-
nous outline, there is n straight effect
secured on most Of the evening or
afternoon gowns by a drawn-in effect
near the lower edge OF the skirt.
This Is secured in many ways. There
is a clever manipulation Of the full
ness of the tunie by gathering the
edge into q deep silk or satin hem.

band or a deep pointed fold.
The fullncss Of the outer skirt is also
held in by Il deep hem of contrasting
color and material.
Another scheme is the use of cord
ings run through wide tucks. Here is
the opportunity to give the hidden
color a display ON the skirt. Slot rib
bons encircling the skirt wind in and
out, now hiden beneath the folds of
chiffon, wolfe or muslin and now
bursting into bars Of color.
You see that the fun skirts are made
subservient to the demands of the
time. an evidence that at least the
lines OF fashion are not too compell-
ing, and that the artistic eye is in con-
troll in the deciding of q costume.
bridesmaids Gowns.
For the spring bridesmaids ii
is growing customary TO plan the
gowns on a flower scheme, the deli
cate blossoms of the orchard afford
ing countless opportunities for colors
and departing a little from the usual.
Apple blossoms, cherry blossoms or
the orange and plum come fragrantly
to tho front. Yellow, pink, white OF
pale leaf green are capable of being
used for the dresses. which, by the
way, must be round length and eirlish.
Hats must be trimmed with the
flowers to match the bouquet, which
Is a natural bunch of buds and flow
ers.
Embroidery that carries out the
flower idea is suggested for decorat-
ing the gowns. while garlands of arti-
ficiai flowers lend an air of complete
ness to the blossom idea.
An the breath and bloom of the
spring ran be given to bridesmaids
