WORK WONDERS WITH TUNIC
Garment Really Indispensable to tho
Woman Who Perforce Must
Practice Economy.

The woman Of small means, whose
social position obliges her to dress
we'll on small income per annum, de-
vises many schemes whereby she may
give her limited wardrobe the ap-
pearance of great variety. Within tho
past few seasons her greatest aid in
putting up a 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 offers.
For instance, if one is possessed Of
well fitting white satin frock, one
may vary the tunic worn over it, and
variety of effects may be obtained.
It 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
teration 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. It 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 tunics
and the wonderful ingenuity which is
exercised in them, that they have q
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.

New HANDBAGS,

Among the newest handbags are
those of suede in dull blue, violet or

and bordered with fringe to match the
leather.
They hang from long chains of sil-

Many come in oriental design, richly
embroidered and incrustsd with color

Smaller purses are displayed in
many beautiful designs. One Of dark
blue mottled leather was oblong in
shape. The chain and the large mon

other had q clasp In the design of a

An attractive cardcase was Of taupe
leather edged with band Of dull sill

A great difference is noticeable in
the collars of the moment. When they
are worn low they are turned we'll

lace or sailor collar of Oriental en-
broidered linen.
The medium collar band has no
vogue. Contrarily, the very high col

soft and filrny material, is considered
exceedingly smart, and figures on
most of the smart afternoon gowns.
