fashions

The draped skirt represents the
newest feature of the present
fashions.
A new and lovely material for
kimonos and negligees is the
washable crepe de chine that
shops are displaying in Hahn
colois. stripes and small Powered
designs.
Yes, the plated skirt has come
back. 1t is quite the newest thing
for tailored suits and dresses and
is seen on any number of the new
models.
The latest addition to the waist
with the robespierre collar Is the
broad revere which is becoming
to almost any type of figure.
The new coats seem to be cut
very big and very loose under the
arms and then narrower nj the
lower edge SO that the silhouette
tapers decidedly to the feet.

Adam told Eve; but we have no

There are all sorts of different
ideas about the time which prop
erly constitutes weekend visit.
Does it end Sunday night or Mon
day morning. This seems like a
very small matter, but there is
nothing quite SO uncomfortable
as the feeling that you may have
outstayed visit.
So let me still the fears of
some of my uncertain girl read
ers by saying a hostess expects

her guests to stay until Monday
morning, when she invites them
for the weekend"
Girls often ask the method of
procedure when asked to dine at
a public place with a man friend.
Let me say that the host orders.
He will, however, in all proba-
bility, consult his guests taste.
He will suggest dishes he thinks
she may like, but she is at lib
erty to say quite frankly whether
she likes them or not, as, of
course, he wishes her to enjoy
the repast.
An engagement ring need not
necessarily have a diamond in it.
1t may contain any precious stone
which is a favorite of the young
mans fiancee; a single sapphire,
emerald or ruby, for instance.
A man should offer his right
arm when escorting a woman in

be in the form of a personal note,
briefly but cordially worded.

away with the further need of
trying to determine this rather
uncertain matter. The new mode
of writing invitations in which
guests are asked to spend few

date. For instance, "Will you
