THE NEW SUMMER
GIRL OF 1911

Behold the new summer grill
says Grace Margaret Gould in Wo-
man's Home Companion for April.
She is really the old summer girl
at her best with many a wise thought
and purpose in her pretty head. She
lie not as frivolous as she used to
be-that is, not altog ether frivolous,
but just frivolous enough to keep
the charm without losing the sense to
direct it.
"She has learned the effectiveness
of dress. She has learned that incon-
gruity mars costume which would
be pleasing in its proper place and
time. Simplicity marks the dress of
this wise and pretty summer girl, but
it Is the simplicity that is carefully
thought out with suitability as its
keynote.
"The summer girl must be very
straight and slim, but this statement
need not bring terror to the heart o!
the plump girl, for the new fashions
have a tendency in their long straight
lines to make her look simmer than
she has ever looked before. The
correct figure to be striven for today
is a trim, slim one with the bust held
high and the hips inconspicuous.
'.All furbelows and puffings are
things OF the far, remote past. as
fashion considers them. The fact
that three or four years ago they
were modish seems to be quite forgot
ten, natura1ness mode of the present.
"Let us speak of the skirt changes
first. Thought the silhouette still
keeps slender and skirts are Of a
very narrow cut, vet many Of the
newest of them show tr!fle more
fullness. The Corday skirt has a
slightly fulled overdrapery and many
of the skirts are made with a snort
yoke to which a gathered flounce is
attached. The tunic skirt keeps
right on being modish It is how
ever, greatly varied in effect. Some
times it looks exaggeratedly long be-
cause it is Joined TO such a short
waist. And then again it is little
more than short apron. The train
tunic will be much Worn even when
the under dress is III the round
length. A new skirt finish Is the foot
plating OF satin.'' ~

Real sleep is blessing. And it
