Evidently there are a lot OF new Ideas In
blouses and lingerie frocks. The jabot fronts
are much more becoming 10 a full figure
than they were last season. for they are
less full and they lie so far on the lett
side They are also much more carefuIy
decorated with embroidered spots and inset
OF narrow lines Of lace.

garment buttons in front, with large pearl
buttons. and there Is a tiny handkerchief
pocket on one side.
The spring tailored suits are finished by
the most attractive lingerie sets. one gives
a suggestion for the use OF a Spanish lace
scarf The collar made Of this lace covers
the opening OF the coat, passes down the
lapelS and under the part or the coat HeIu

An equally novel set attached TO a tailored

a very broad fichu collar and wide turn
up cuffs on few, almost on none OF 'he
new models do we see the deep square col
lar OF last year; everything Is large ana
round suggesting the hchu that Is 80 iash-
ionable on gowns.
The slightly stirencd linen shirt seems to
have an important place I'm the new models.
Many OF these close on one side. In part
for as a rule the closing line Is somewhat
broken up. A characteristic idea Is gar
ment closing with four large pearl buttons
on the left side running from the bust to
the waist; above this there is "A pointed /
lapel turning over on the right side Stocks
and added cravats are so novel and un- |
usual in shape and material that one can
well dare make them AT home, for there Is
no set style From the collar may fall five |
inches OF Irish lace held by a tiny bow; !
this may be broken in the middle with a
ends trimmed either with "A second band
or u line of fringe.
Fringe is used on everything and should !
be very useful In bringing last springs
costume up to date. Almost any Kind OF a |
collar and cum set, whether made OF nm
gerIe. heavy braid. embroidery or silk. with |
some decoration is desirable. ana fringe |
NJ cotton linen or silk whatever matches |
the set, can be added to this. Many OF the |
tailored suits not decorated with lingerie |
sets have the collar and lapeis decorated
with a wool fringe OF the colors woven INTO I
the cloth The shops are showing frinseS |
Of this sort and it will not be ditficult to
find the right shade In case one mas suit |
of last season and wishes to give IL |
modish touch. In making over at this time |
of the year warnings are sometimes as
useful as suggestions. The use OF frinSes !
is rather too much Insisted on and they
are evidently going TO be very popuiar' !
While It is wise to remodel an OLD SUIT WIN |
a new idea, it is not always quite so wise
to follow a popular idea in ordering new
suit. assuming that 1t Is to be worn lor
two seasons.
Another warning. Al the new models
show short jackets hare.y covering the
hips Is Il wise 10 cut over coat OF nan
length to conform to this fashion? 1t de-
pends on the cut and shape OF the jacket
Few long jackets. like few long sklfts'
stand a cutting of OF their length. when
means a cutting off of the fulness and
change OF shape. The tailor who made the
suit is the best adviser on this point
MANY women who make a success OF eco
nomical dressing never touch well MADE
suit because its lines have gone out OF
fashion. They simply put 1t aside until II
seems TO meet the modes. Changes OF
trimming are easy to meet, while changes
OF line are much more difficult.
We are evidently not to get away from
the one piece lingerie gown, and why
should we while the models are so gen |
orally becoming end comfortable? The |
Gowns Of thin white stuffs that the smart
speciality shops are showing are maue

ton or linen fable quite unlike handker-
chief linen. They are decorated With LOT
