slipped over II, thus making it do service
for more than one suit These chiffon
over-blouses will undoubtedly be much
worn with the spring suits.
Most attractive waists are being made
up from tussah silks which have cash

with border OF Persian design. This
border crossed the front and back and
sleeves Of waist at the bust line. the re-
mainder Of the blouse being yelled with
black chiffon Of so sheer a quality that 1t
did not obscure the fabric beneath. A
rolling collar of black silk and small turn
back cuffs impaired a youthful air 10 this
chic blouse With #, as with many OF
the new waists being put out, was pro-
vided straight belt of black patent
leather with a gold buckle. In passing
1t may be said that the restoration of the
waist line has brought belts of every
description into favor again. Suits are
being shown with which are supplied two
patent leather belts-the coat belt and
the usual skirt belt
A blouse in a delightful shade Of green
Is Of a coarse mesh net mounted over
chiffon Of the same shade. which Is all
lined with satin in the same color A
peculiar but attractive color scheme was
attained by the use Of clever shade OF

and soft crushed belt Of the satin added
a distinctive touch.

Grey shades were used In a simple little
blouse for wear with tailored suit OF
grey serge. The yoke and sleeves of chif-
tucked in fine tucks headed with silver
thread The net across the bust was en-
broidered in coarse gray silk. combined
with soft shade OF yellow with a silver
thread running through it, which gave q
very rich effect.
The side closing continues to be popu-
lar feature Of the blouse for every day
wear. This is sometimes fastened simply
with tailored buttons, but more often
closes with frill OF silk or net. A model
in marine blue ribbed silk which fastened
to one side had frill of plated net in
the same shade upon the edge OF which
was stitched a bias fold about q half
an inch wide Of plaid taffeta. A fold of
the plaid silk completed the standing COL
lar and formed also a wide crush girdle.
The yoke Of this blouse was laid In deep
horizontal tucks. from shoulder to shoul-
der, while two bias straps extended from
the belt up over the shoulders and into
the belt at the back
Bands OF broadcloth deliberately braided
with black soutache formed the striking
trimming Of a dark blue chiffon cloth
blouse. The small round yoke and stand
ing collar were OF alIover lace finished
at the edge with a cording of black silk
and in the front with a straight black
velvet bow. The bands were put on over
the shoulder seams and extended the
length Of the short cap over the top OF
the sleeve. There was also a band down

limitations thereof, and Irish and Val.
lsces dominate the lingerie models. As
yet the bishop sleeve is seen on most of
the waists. but there is little doubt that
the short sleeve is on It's way to US again,
TO the delight Of the plump and the de-
lection OF the scrawny.
A favorite style in the tailored waists
has four box plaits on each side with the
central one twice the width of the side
plaits. Many OF these have also stitched
straps over the shoulder seams, In epaulet
fashion. The sleeves are plated the en-
tire length from the shoulder down to
the three-inch stiffened cuff.
The separate skirts are to be found in
style as well as in the palmer pleated
models. Plain material predominant, but
grey mixtures and two-tone stripes as
well as shepard checks are shown in at
tractive models. A decided novelty, in
PRODUCING a striking black and white
stripe effect has the panels Of black serge
overlapping the tops of box pleats Of the
diagonally striped material set on Just
below the knee. The effect produced is
Of a slashed over-skirt.
The new skirts all show a return TO the
normal waist line which Is indeed the
marked tendency Of all gowns and suits.
Trimming consists usually of cloth
covered buttons On the plainly tailored
skirts, while with the tunic effects no
trimming at all is used.

disrepute before the onslaught of the one
piece gown the winter season has seen
it flash into tlnseled eminence again, and
never have the shops offered a greater
variety OF these indispensable separate
biouses than the spring showing includes.
One may find them in every form and
fabric from the simple morning affairs
OF pique or lawn, to the lace and en-
broldered and chifron-veiled satin ones.
The lingerie styles show a greater
amount OF hand work than ever before.
Many OF the tailored effects have detach-
able collars and cufrs of linen with Eng
lish embroidery done in white or colors
Blouses made OF ninon are especially
favored for wear with the palmer street
suits. But it is the more elaborate blouses
that have undergone the greatest trans
formation. A blouse unveiled by chiffon
or net or lace and without a touch Of gold
or silver is scarcely to be found in the
shops. From the bit OF tinsel in the
trimming or about the neck has developed

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

In just minute L promised my
SELF the other morning as L lay in
bed vainly trying to make up my
mind to abandon my comfy pillow
By the time 1 had taken that min
ute it was fifteen minutes after my
rising time, of course, and though /
dressed in hurry, breakfasted in a
hurry and ran for my car 1 missed if
was late to the office. late in every
thing I did all day, and at nightfall
was still rushing vainly in pursuit of
that fifteen minutes.
And I went to bed far more tired
| than L usually am after a day of twice
as great accomplishment.
And the reason, of course, was sim
ply that 1 had lived in a hurry.
1t seems to me that few of us real
| lie the vitality wear and tear, of liv-
| ing in a hurry.
You take out your watch and say,
Yes, I think 1 can just about do that
errand before the train goes if I hur-
ry,' and then instead of taking your
| leisurely way to the train you rush
about the errand without realizing
how much more it will take out of
you to do even that little thing with
| feeling.
There is a vast satisfaction. of
duty into a stray moment, but if you
have to crowd the moment to do it,
I don't think it pays.
For I have noticed again and again
out of me to do a thing when I have
a limited amount of time than as it
does to do it at my leisure.
A newspaper man was telling me
the other day. how in order to save
his paper the expense of telegraphing
a long story he travelled 500 miles,
typewriting all the way, rushed down
to the office, delivered the copy,
rushed back to the depot and took
another train back over the 500 miles
in about "a hours.
But 1 think I lop off. at least six
months of my life every time 1 try
to live at that pace" he ended.
OF course he does.
Anyone who hurries like that al
ways does.
Haste makes waste not only of ma
terials, but also of vitality.
And the worst of it is that the most
of the hurrying we do isn't a matter
of necessity at all, but just a matter
OF habit.
I feel that especially when I am on
car that passes over a line where
the cars run every moment or two
and see people run themselves out of
breath and drop into seat exhausted
just to get a particular car, when the
loss of it would mean not more than
two minutes waiting.
They chase after the car not be-
cause they need the two minutes, but
because it's part of the hurry habit
And it's that habit undoubtedly
that gives America its absurdly large
proportion of nervous breakdowns.
But the people who really accom-
plish the most in the long run are al
most always those who never hurry.
They move right along. They don't
dwaddle, but they never rush.
For they know that he who makes
haste slowly is pretty apt to make the
most haste in the end.
And besides accomplishing more
than the rushers they are very much
-pleasanter to live with.
For the rushers not only wear and
tear themselves, but also everyone
about them. On the whole don't you
think a little study of the fine art of
unhurried living might be a good
thing for good many people?
And, maybe, you among them?

In the middle ages the godly pastors
of the flock issued direful warnings
against the agency of Satan in the
vanities of woman's dress. In one Of

The lesson Of woe upon the follies Of
women's fashions has been carried
through the ages, and each new style
affords its horrible example.
From Paris, whose fashion leaders
have repudiated the hobble skirt as
an American impertinence, comes the
story of a woman who was literally
hobbled to death. Going to the races
in one of the most approved four
belted hobble skirts with enough rub

necks of the gilt-edged men OF fash

Then came the sequel. A horse be-
ing led through the paddock bolted
into the crowd. All made their es-
cape save the woman with the hob

hurried TO death as surely as If she
had been a devotee of Chinese foot

the way. she was caught and killed
by the spirited animal
