Portable jacket. This one is very simple
and easy to make, yet 1t takes the most
graceful lines. The collar shows the curved
ends that are a feature Of the season and
the elbow sleeves are finished with prettily
shaped cuffs. The long ones are gathered
into straight bands.
The jacket is made In front and back
portions and the sleeves are cut in ono
piece each and stitched to the armholes.
This jacket is made of challis with trim
ming of lace banding. All pretty, simple
materials adapted to morning wear are
appropriate. Many of the French and
Scotch fannels are exceedingly light in
weight and delightful to wear and they
have the advantage Of washing easily and
perfectly. If thinner and lighter materials
are liked, albatross and cashmere are
pretty with trimming Of lace and ribbon,
and there are charming washable silks
that make most attractive jackets OF tho
kind. Blue cashmere with bands of white
lace makes a dainty effect and albatross,
although wool, washes as perfectly as
cotton or linen.

With Proper Shade Of Material tho

Without an Undue Strain on

1t is impossible not to see that the

begin with, the various suits, gowns,
hats and mutt sets, with that flashing
something we have come 20 know as

for any but the most fashionable thor

they seem to need some species of
equipage as we'll. 1t is only the fairly

the smartness Of plush offers her the

RULES FOR THE WARDROBE
Come Matters the Woman Who Would
Be Well Dressed Must Keep
In Mind.

Elegance in dress is not ESSENTIAL to
4 woman who wishes to be considered
. good dresser" but rather a wise
choice and wearing . dress that Is
suitable to the occasion.
Nevertheless the problem is = dim
cult one for the woman who must
dress on limited means, and who
wants to achieve the same results as
her more fortunate sister.
So much is put on the market today
that is cheap that a woman Is easily
Influenced to buy impractical things,
wasting her allotment for dress eX-
penses.
A we'll dressed practical woman will
have merely several simple gowns In
her wardrobe. For afternoon wear
for somewhat dressy occasions, soft
weaves Of silk, creped wolfe and SINH
lar materials are suitable. The style
must be simple, and it is not amiss to
add an original fancy belt, a few
striking buttons, or pretty collar and
QUIZ effects in embroidery or lace.
For daily wear, shopping, visiting,
or travelling, wooden material Is best.
In choosing an evening costume one
should not be influenced by the Tat
est" fashions reported, as these elabo-
rate costumes turned out by a more
or less inexperienced dressmaker lose
their beauty and finish, and mar the
outline Of the figure.
Dresses with trains are frequently
worn without petticoats. and with the
sSaper effect is
good. But for street veal the petit
coat should not be omitted, and the
