Practical Business Dress.

The business girl should not fail to in
clude two or three plain tailored flannel
shirts In her fall and winter wardrobe.
On a damp, chilly morning these light
fannels will be found extremely comfort
able and with a tailored suit there is no
smarter blouse The f1annels come In any
number of patterns, the prettiest being
the striped effects like those used in fan
mel shirts for men. Gray is popular. both
plain and as background for white. vio-
let. blue, rose and green stripes. A cream
and deep lavender flannel with the stripes
of equal width is good, as is also this
same design In cream with black, navy
or delft blue. brown or red. Brown and
tan striped flannel in which the stripes
are quarter of an inch wide is strik-
ing with brown suit. Some girls favor
the flannel waist to the exclusion Of lin
Rerie, linen or cotton fabrics, for they
have both the advantage of laundering
nicely and Of warmth.
With stiff white collar or soft self-collar
and cuffs in the French style. and a
bright tie the flannel shirt Is the pride
and comfort of the well-dressed business
girl.
Velour hats promise to be popular, and
not without reason. The really pretty
ones are too expensive to be ordinary,
which is the first and prime factor in
their success. Again. their softness makes
charming frame for the face and
their pliable brims can be pulled into
any angle suita BILE to the face. They are
smart without sign Of adornment, and
ultra smart by reason of a perky little
feather or braid ornament or soft
scarf. Last, but by no means least they
are built for durability as we'll as ap-
pearance and they more than meet the
demands of both.

As Fashion Dictates.

II il can be said with any truth that
there is a lull in the ever changing world
of dress, it takes place during the pres
emit month. We have made most OF our
summer purchases, and the bargain
hunting period of midsummer sale time
is over, and we must possess our souls in
patience before making the necessary
prepar atoms for the coming autumn sea
son.
without doubt the average woman does
not make the distinction for the in be-
tween season dress that is carried to such
a fine art by the Frenchwoman. For early
autumn and early spring the Parisienne
wears delightfully."- suggestive and appro-
pirate toilets and this may be particu-
larly applied to millinery. It is this subtle
distinction, too, which calls for the great
est display of taste and right feeling for
clothes.
Not only diamonds, but other precious
stones are now being set in platinum, and
the fine links of this metal appear SO
slightly woven that the precious stones
set at intervals on the long neck CHAINS
seem to be invisibly strung
For finger rings, gold and silver and
platinum wire are interviewer and set
with stones which owe their value to
their bizarre effect as a rule. These rings
are large, and only one is worn on the
hand at time. In the severity of morn
ing dress the large stone ring or the seal
ring with a colored center. which is just
as often worn, Is strikingly effective, and
make the hand look very graceful and
fragile by comparison with the heaviness
of its ornament Such rings, though
handsome, are comparatively cheap-but
there are exceptions, such as a beautiful
marquise ring in gold and platinum wire.
