MANNISH WMST IS POPULAR
Severity Of Lines Seems to Appeal to
Those Who Follow Latest Fads
OF Fashion.

Young girls are finding the mannish
able silk or crepe de chine very much
to their liking. Most Of the models
are absolutely masculine in the sever
fly Of their lines. This, however, ap-
peals to the girl who likes to exploit
the latest fad Of fashion. Those who
dislike the plainness add a jabot of
lace or a bow at the neck line, but
the majority prefer to wear the waist
as 1t Is. with a simple fastening OF
buttons down the front.
The buttons are of crystal. white or
colored to match the waist, and stitch
ed with heavy white silk.
A cape collar finishes the neck and
Is most becoming to girls, 1t exposes
the throa' in front and is comfort
able. 1t differs from the polo collar,
inasmuch as very little OF IT. shows
from the front. At the back thAt4 Is
ample width and, In some cases, con-
siderable depth.
Slate gray. blue. pink, violet and
stripes are equally favored for fash
ioning the mannish blouse. The tie
worn with the cape collar Is knotted
and has loosely hanging ends. 1t may
be of violet, striped silk or dotted
satin. Ties OF two colors, one side
green, red or blue, and the other
white. are the new notes, The mag
pie tie Of black and white is extreme
ly popular.

CREPE DE CHINE THE BEST
lts Durability and S%oftness Make II
Ideal Material for Underwear for
Economical Woman.

The softness OF crepe gives one g
in a small space without adding extra
weight to ones luggage. Two or three
suits can be carried in q yalise and
take up only the corners of a suit
case. When one travels with such un
derwear one does not find 1t a hope
less mass of wrinkles at the end of
the journey. For whatever wrinkles
crepe de chine takes are easily shak-
en- out.
1t Is to the woman who must be
economical and who has very little
time at her disposal for mending and
renewing lace and embroidery that
these garments should appeal. Every
woman knows what the iron does to
lace. The damage must be repaired
each week, and keeps one constantly
at the needle. OF course. the elaoor-
ate crepe de chine garments for eve
ming wear are lace trimmed and there
fore are subject to the same disad-
vantage, but the everyday ones have
only a bit Of cluny at the neck and
armholes. and they go on for weeks
without needing a stitch.
Nothing Ii so e~xtrsvagant as thu
reckless purchase Of cheap under
wear, and that Is one of our national
sins. Women who should know bet

himsy nnery that does not last and
looks tawdry after its FIRST journey to

1t had and besides this its stitches are
meant to last through a day instead

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
