Model Of blue crepe with ribbon
sash in the same shade down the
front. Waist of white silk Grape.


Black tulle is very much worn with
spring and new summer hats. It may
be put on as ruff to stand upright
oyer-brim and against crown. or it may
be put under the brim to lie against
the hair and temples. A very pretty
idea is that Of laying it on the hat to
be a go-betwsen for the hat and the
trimming. Ia white hat of satin the
trimming is apt to be tiny roses in
brilliant shades of red, yellow and
green on a green vine. Fruit and all
kinds Of impossible designs are thus
reproduced and dwarfed in satin.

times the design shows the reverse

example Is shown here, with the body

WAISTS WITH NEW TOUCHES
Washable Crepe de Chine, Heavy
China silk and White Madras Are
Favorite Materials.

Among strictly tailored waists those
nannish shirts with the soft turned
over collar and cuffs are popular. Usu-
ally they are made of washable crepe
de chine, heavy china silk and mad
ras in white, and white with a colored
stripe. Buttons of colored glass are
very effective when they match the
stripe of the silk.
In addition to the mannish silk
waists that are worn with the strictly
tailored suit the business woman will
welcome those in challis, flannel and
aibatross Many Of these are made IA
the usual mannish style, with the front
opening. and soft collar and cuffs, but

rule, flannel is used for the tailored
waists. and pretty challis and colored

polyandry and the same weaknesses
that l have seen at home. AS long
AS Tibet was masculine It was n

ruins OF old cities and palaces give
an evidence. But When the woman

any trivial social funchonr-without
the least show Of romanticism- When

lovers when tho man Is masculine
