suits giving the effect of a three piece
costume, continues to be as strong as
ever.
The high collars of lace and net on
the newest French gowns and waists
strongly pressage the return of the

the largethe large brimmed hats of
tagal or chip.
New tailor made skirts appear in
fancy mixtures. serges. cheyiots and
double faced clothes. A few are shown
in satins and velvets

eased, and requires prompt treatment if
its loss would be avoided. If the bulb is
