Many of the hats have velvet fac
ings.
In the new hats many round crowns
are seen.
Colored embroideries are quite
fashionable.
Tiny velvet buttons are seen on
some of the prettiest foulard gowns
shown.
Colored sashes and colored hair
ribbons will be worn with the little
white dresses.
Raincoats are worn several inches
shorter than the skirt, no matter how
short the skirt may be.
Large sailor hats, with more or
less of a rolling, upturned brim, are
shown in many styles.
With all the richness and beauty
of the seasons materials, there is
fad for expensive simplicity.
Instead Of single fancy button as
a finish to the front of coat, tassel
more or less elaborate is often used.
The return of the blouse and sep
arate skirt restores the sash and belt
to favor, and they are found in at
tractive styles in leather and silk.

considered better taste to cover the
lower part of the arm with tight un-

While sleeves are short, it is still

The yoke is seen on many of the
new wash skirts. It fits snugly over
the hips, while the lower part is box
pleated, and consequently quite full.
Surplice effects are rather promi-
nent in dress styles. Usually there is
little chemisette or plastron or
tucked net or chiffon and jaboc

ABOUT BUYING BARGAINS.

Some women seem to be born with
"clothes sense" Others acquire II

ience. And some never haveit. There
are very few women who are not
amenable to the temptation Of bar
gain. And the bargain in the hands
of the woman of judgment is a great
aid toward dressing we'll on small

On the other hand 1t is often a
great stumbling block in the way Of
one who has not learned discrimina-
tion. Merely because thing is cheap
is no good reason for its purchase.
1t is best to, rtudy the needs Of the
wardrobe. In planning the wardrobe

haty on hand. Then in buying the
new things see that they harmonize
with the older clothing you wish to
wes- hem with. For instance, II you

from last year, which will serve{ an
other season, and you wish to get a

PLEASING SILK HAT BAGS.

planning to take long trip, make
her silk hat bag, and win her heart

porters are ready to supply the trav-

stiff and unwieldy, and one of soft
china silk, provided with ribbon run
through casing at the top, will be
much more convenient.
On the outside of the bag, near the
