 create the impression of pos
 eessing gowns for every and m 0o0asfons, whether they are north 0B south, east or west. The secret of KAa@ was explained to me the other day by a very clever woman, promi- nAn& in exclusive social circles who sm10yB the reputation of being the beet gUwned woman of her set, and that widely extravagant set even an afa economical moods.
 Her principal asset lies in the hap pT faculty of knowing how to shop. T11s la ttself is a science dependent almost wholly upon intuition, the al- rnont psychic power of knowing and selecting from thousand and one mfamKam& bargains the few that will be Tn vogue the following season, and frU3n these the one or two that lend themselveA to her particular type of Beauty. In like manner, she picks up alI manner of accessories that real 1Y arc the making of an exclusive gown With these bits of trimming, 1aeee, velvets, chinons, etc., she pro U0UdB to add Q few magic touches to her 6ecollette gowns of last season, zrmmBROrming them into dinner dresses Tor the coming season, making 8 tmnac for this one and yelling that one untl her own husband fails to recog- n1ze them.

 Strategy In Dress.
 ID selecting her wardrobe she ex- oxts much thought to the choosing of n1ndels and materials that will an- sWer as we'll for the summer resorts scf the North as the winter re- sorts of the South, thereby making one outfit do double duty.

 Excellent examples for such ward robe arc shown in this number. A tailor made gown which answers not GHay for summer and winter, but for between seasons in town as well. An embroidered linen for seashore wear lie year round, an odd coat that is a nece1sity on cool days by the water aB we'll as the late afternoon in the nDuufa1ns. An evening gown and opera cloak to wear over 1t, The hk<s, toos are very practical in addi- lion to their fashionable lines.

 For eeml-Forrnal ooeasions.
 Tho Redingote is an unusually at 3Tactfve model for semt-forma1 wear, 4rAp&rtzng a girIfshi air to the wearer.
