WORK WONDERS WITH TUNIc
Garment Really indispensable to the
Woman Who Perforce Must
Practice Economy.

The woman Of small means, whose
social position obliges her to dress
well on small income per aNnum, de-
vises many schemes whereby she may
give her limited wardrobe the ap
pearance of great variety. Within the
past few seasons her greatest aid in
putting up bluff has been the ubi-
quitous tunic. This style admits of
so many delightful variations that the
clever dresser does not fail to make
the best Of the advantages it effers.
For instance, if one is possessed of
a well fitting white satin frock, one
may vary the tunic worn over it, and
variety of effects may be obtained.
1t is certainly worth trying by the
woman who has a limited number of
frocks and many occasions on which
she must wear them. Some little al
iteration or differences in the arrange
ment of shades worn with frock
gives an air of novelty and interest.
Some women are content to fish out
the same frock and wear it continu-
ally with even the self-same spray of
flowers pinned on. 1t does not seem
to occur to them what an almost end.
less variety can be obtained by little
changes here and there, with perhaps
different ornaments and waysof dress
ing the hair. No woman should scorn
such details, and in her desire to look
her best she may easily get into the
habit Of critically examining herself
and her clothes.
To go back to the subject of TUNES
and the wonderful ingenuity which is
exercised in them, that they have a
great effect in altering the shape and
| appearance of the figure is fact most
of us have realized. A tall, slim figure
can, of course, stand practically any
arrangement Of this overdress, but
the short woman in this, as in many
other details of her toilet, has to be
most careful that no hard line, which
| may detract in any way from her
| weight, or any undue fullness, should
| be worn. All lines should sweep down.
| ward or slope sideways, always keep.
| ing in view the wish to add length and
take away any suspicion of width in
the figure.

A great difference is noticeable in
the collars of the moment. When they
are worn low they are turned well
away from the throat, with deep
fichu-like collar of softest muslin and
lace or sailor collar of Oriental EN-.
Droidered linen.
The medium collar band has nc
vogue. Contrarily, the very high col.
lar, perfectly shaped and boned. OF
soft and filmy material, is considered
exceedingly smart, and figures on
most of the smart afternoon gowns.

Cotton Corduroys.

Corduroys this summer, will be very
much In evidence.
So many women like the velvet fin
ished corduroys that they will doubt
less be glad to see the same weave In
troduced into the cotton fabrics.
The new spring cotton corduroys
much resemble the velvet ones, though
they have not, of course, the same
brilliant finish. There is the same
cordlike weave. however. and the cot.
ton corduroys will doubtless prove as
good for hard service as the other
members Of the corduroy family.
