style and it's various notifications,
has arrived. So far, the new style
finds its expression principally in
evening gowns of more or less
elaborate nature and the models
show no exaggerated effects in drap-
cry. However, the season has only
just begun, and there is no doubt
that before the season has reached
its climax there will be seen models
carrying the new style to absurd
| and ridiculous extremes,
When one gets away from the pic
turesque evening frocks, one finds
fewer extreme draperies, but all the
skirts in soft materials show consid-
cradle fullness, and the tucked up
drapery, in one form or another, is
being widely exploited. Whether it
will be accepted by either the fas-
tidious women or the crowd remains
to be seen, but some of its versions
are really delightful. Not every ma
terial is suitable for this effect. In
taffeta this kind of skirt is decidedly
mouffant in the upper section, full
and straight and limp below, and is
rather too extreme to tempt any but
the radicals and the adventurous.
But in the softer stuffs it is less ex-
treme, and when well made has
cachet and charm.
A very handsome frock shown in
one of the shops was of very soft
| sheer creamy lingerie material over
an underskirt of black satin-or, at
| least, with the skirt of black satin
below the tucked-up puff of the lin
gerie overskirt. This puff fell quite
Imply but very full and followed a
slightly slanting line downward

tucked-up edge fell soft plated
frill of very fine cream lace. There
was fun frilled fichu on the sim
pie lingerie bodice and narrow
plated frills finished the long slim
transparent sleeves. The girdle was
of black
Another charming model with the
tucked-up drapery had its under
skirt of finest cut-work embroidery
founcing with a little plain bastiste
showing above the deep embroidery.
The bodice and tucked up overskirt
were of soft f1owered silks in Louis
XVI design of rose and blue and
straw color and there was fat fichu
of the cut-work embroidery covering
almost the entire bodice above a Cir
die of old blue
"A method of skirt drapery which
| merely gives a little movement to
the skirt line without introducing
| any extreme lines or actual bout
fancy consists in placing a group of
tiny horizontal plaits on one side
of skirt that would otherwise hang
in slightly full folds-the fullness,
of course, more pronounced in back
and sides than in front.
But not all Of the new frocks are
draped. Indeed, drapery, so far, is
the exception, and it is only because
it sounds a new note that the drap-
cry idea is the thing most clearly de-
fined in ones mind, after a study of
the new models. Most skirts in soft
materials have considerable fullness,
but this fullness is very likely to be
held in by some transverse trimming
or at least, to be dragged down into
straight, clinging lines.
For Health and Beauty.
Any digestive arrangement should
be put right at once, as dyspepsia is
the commonest cause of poor COM
plexion, early wrinkles, red noses
and pinched expressions, Careful
chewing of the food is a very i'm
portant factor with regard to this.
The teeth must be put into good
condition first of all. Meals must
be regular, well cooked, nourishine
and easily digested. Plenty of fresh
milk and stewed and fresh fruits are
excellent for the complexion. Tea
and coffee should be given up fol
month, or perhaps one cup Of
weak China tea might be allowed
daily.
Exercise out of doors should BIZ
regulated and sufficient rest secured
as well, as fatigue handicaps diges
tion and impairs the whole vitality
Worry must be kept at bay and re
garded as the great foe of health anC
, beauty for womankind. The woman
who worries at meals is sowing th'
seeds OF dyspepsia and a ruined com
pleXion in the near future.
