girl wears a smart Norfolk over her
short skirt Of linen or duck. A pic
ture of this new Norfolk waist is
shown and every woman who sees the
picture will instantly decide to have
ono OF these trim, becoming little
waists which give much better fig
ure lines than a loose blouse tucked
under a skirt band The Norfolk waist
illustrated is made OF white linen
lawn with collar and cuffs of pink
linen. Tie and belt are black, and
the waist is neatly fitted by means
of darts taken under the box pl=ats
on each side at front and back. The
Norfolk-lilxe all waists Of this type
is double breasted and fastens with
large white pearl buttons. Pockets
on each side add an extra touch OF
Jaunt1ness. A waist of this sort may
be accompanied by red tie and belt,
or green tie and belt, with very pic
turesque effect in the country.
MILDLY BIouses for Wear on the Water.
For canoeing. rowing and motor
boating the Norfolk waist is also
worn, but it is not as appropriate
does not "fft the picture" as we'll
as the natty little MILDLY blouse Dor
roWed from the sailorman's regalia.
MILDLY blouses, unfortunately, have
been commended during the past
summer and have appeared in all
sorts of places where a costume of
this sort was the worst possible taste;
but these blouses are so thoroughly
we'll suited for wear on the water
that they will hold their own and
return-now that their brief day OF
being a fad has passed-to their prop
er place in the outing wardrobe.
In any sort of a boat, whether a
tiny canoe or a commodious yacht,
rubber soled deck shoes are the prop
or footwear-the only safe and COM
Portable sort Of footwear In a small
boat-and the skirts should be short
enough to permit of free movement.
Sweaters Made OF SIX.
The newest notion in knitted sweat
ers is the silk sweater and, Of course,
these beautiful garments represent
the highest degree Of sweater luxury.
They come in rich, soft colors and
are as warm@for all their nghtness
of weight-as many of the wcrsted
models.
Like sailor hats, sweaters are to
be had at all prices and the high
priced ones tell their story of dist1nc-
ton with unmistakable emphasis. A
very smart golf sweater of white wool
is illustrated and the noticeable fea-
lures of this coat are the perfect lines
and simple good style of the garment.
Small turnover collars of the sort pic
tured are now liked better than the
V necks that have been popular for
the past few seasons.
Something New in Bathing Suits.
Knitted jerseys for bathing wear
are much liked by the women who
go in for swimming and do not merely
pose on. the beach. The knitted gar
mcat permits free use OF the arms
and is an attractive little costume fea-
ture withal - as today's photograph
shows. This white worsted Jersey has
blue bands to match the blue silk
skirt which 1t accompanies; and the
sailor collar and tie are also of the
blue silk. A feature of the suit is the
scarf sash OF soft silk which may be
removed and thrown over the shoul-
ders If desired.
The New "DirigibIe7' Costume.
The woman who goes in for bal
looning-and they are more fond of
this sport in Paris than here-has a
costume all her own; a costume built
for high ATTITUDES and tussle with
the breezes. The photograph of this
ballooning costume shows its simple.
