the business girl is prone to accept

ing for attractive wearables; that she
invests in near-silks. near-furs, half

tion laces and cleverly cut tailored
garments made of poor materials OF
course all this Is poor economy for
such things wear out speedily and
look worse when half worn than ar
ticles of good material; but fashions
whisk about like a weatherVane in a
midsummer squall, these days, and it
is a strong minded maid indeed who
will pass by a fetching tailor made
of f1imsy half cotton stuff in favor of
an austerely plain and practical suit
of all-wool that looks just about as
chic and modish when new as it will
a season hence, and vice versa.
The really canny business or pro-
fessional girl looks a long way ahead
in her purchases and buys her tall
ored garb at mid-season when prices
have come down and smart things
which will remain in good style
through a second season may be
picked up at almost half the early
season price. Her lingerie is simple
and of fine but substantial cambric
rather than of filmy batste and lace;
and she selects petticoats and combi-
nations trimmed with embroidery
which comes unscathed from the
hands of the laundress. Nor does she
invest in garments honeycombed with
ribbon-run headings, knowing from

Some Things Must Be Bought at High
Tide Prices.
There are certain wearables which
the well dressed woman must purchase
at the beginning of season. and cer-
tain articles of dress on which prices
do not fiuctuate. Hats for instance
may not be left for economical buy
ing; and 1t is a thrice fortunate maid
who has the Knack. of trimming her
own headgear, for it is almost impos-
sible now to obtain a really smart

tant price-to the girl dressing on

may be drawn on slender rods when
desired. on dark days, or when no
one is working in the sunny room,
the thin curtains may be pushed back
and will be hidden under the lace cur
tains and outer draperies of opaque
fabric.
All windows that make any preten-
sion TO modishness of effect are now
draped with two sets of hangings--
with the possible exception OF VIM
dows in simply furnished bedrooms

windows in bathrooms which arc al
ways curtained as simply as possible
with fresh white washable material
drawn on slender rods.
The curtains against the pane, in
formal rooms, are usually of lace. en-
broidered net or fine madras; and
sometimes scrim is used with inser-
tons of handsome lace, as in the IL
lustration picturing corner window
in a formal reception rooru. In this
instance the curtains of Gull gold bro
caded silk are in tone slightly deep
er than the gold tinted wall paper
and the curtain yelling the win
dow Is of cream scrm trimmed with
bands of real Cluny lace. Not every
woman, however, may have salon

the edges, and put most of the money

room these hangings may be of vel

colored madras or of mercerized rep.
Tapestry and velour are rather high
priced: and for small rooms the col

Against the pane is a sash curtain

Three very good looking hats suitable
for everyday wear are pictured. The
sailor model was made by a business
girl one evening last week and its
possessor has allowed its picture to
be taken for the benefit of other bust
ness maids. A buckram shape was
purchased for thirty-five cents. Brim
and crown were covered fatty with
navy blue velvet and more of the vel
vet was draped in folds around the
sides of the crown. a curved quill
in shaded browns was poised slantwise
across the back, the sharp quill end
projecting over the brim at the right
while the feathered end of the quill
points rakishly forward and upward
at the left. The quill is held in place
by a fiat bow of blue moire ribbon
The girl in tailored suit of plain
and striped serge wears a captivating
toque also built over a bucl1ram
frame This toque has q crown of
draped black silk and a deep brim
of black velvet. A peacock blue quill
rises at the front from a smartly tied
bow of black picot edged ribbon. A
third practical hat is an inexpensive
roll brim model of taupe gray velour
with a shaded Copenhagen blue feath-
er curling over at the back. A small
cut steel buckle holds the feather
against the brim. This hat harmon
ICES with the coat of imitation Per-
sian lamb with collar and cuffs of
taupe plush. Though made of mex
pensive materials, this coat has cut
and style not to be questioned, and
will make an excellent winter wrap
for use over trotteur frocks of serge
or mohair: or over theatre gowns of
silken stuff. 1t is worn here over
draped black lansdowne gown, beneath
the hem of which peep well fitting
buttoned boots.
Simple Tailieurs In Best Taste.
Not for the business woman is the
elaborate and extreme product of the
tailor's art, combining intricate drap-
cry, sldshes, braid, belt and pockets.
Such a suit will go out of fashion the
moment the tailor thinks of something
else; while a simpler model. more

practical is the ATTRACTIVE little tailleur

is well cut and is short enough to

collar of striped material. When de-

II is more than an axiom-it is
veritable truth of house furnish
ing; that treatment of windows
y may make or mar a room. Yet ex-
-ceptional is the woman, unframed in
artistic matters, who has the instruct
i've ability to ''see in her minds eye,"
plan and purchase exactly the right
sort of window hangings to make
perfect the home interiors. A sense
of proportion, sense of color, per-
feet good taste--all these are requisite
in the decorator and training and ex-
perience count for much beside. The
woman who is not certain she can
make her drawing, dining, living and
bedrooms exactly what they ought to
be in the matter of window draperies
will be wise in consulting with a pro-
fessional decorator. Many of the large
department stores maintain on the
staff of the upholstery department
such a decorator, whose services are
furnished without cost, provided all
drapery materials are purchased in
the shop which she represents.
Windows are intended of course,
primarily, to give light and air to the
rooms within. Now a window can
scarcely provide too much air. but it
can furnish great deal too much
light for the attractive effect of the
interior. Light is a priceless boon.
and sunlight is worth it's weight in
mere solid gold-as far as health and
happiness are concerned to the occu-
pants of the house; but crude, glar-
ing light, unshaded and unsoftened is
not only unbecoming to the complex
ion, but actually injurious to the
nerves. The first thing an experienced
nurse does, on entering a sickroom, is
to draw the shades so that soft, dim

The first thing to consider in plan

is the location of the rooms, them
selves. A north room into which the

full and in good taste The skirt of
another simple tailored suit of dark
blue serge is shown with pretty
blouse of blue and green checked
silk, draped surplice fashion and
trimmed with fancy ribbon stitched
together in rows. Another blouse
pictured today, shows how a very
simple costume may be dressed up
for matinee day by a distinctive bit
of neckwear. This frock, OF black
lansdowne, is piped with black velvet
and has a shaped sash of the velvet,
knotted at the back of the hips. Tn
der the lansdowne bodice on this oc-
casion is a guimpe of accordion
plated flesh pink chiffon, a collar and
revers of fine machine embroidered
batiste turning back on the dark bod
ice.
The Question of Evening Frocks.
Where is the girl in her twentles
who does not desire, each season, a
delectable little frock for evening
wear? And il the girl who earns her
own living may have only one such
/ frock, she wants that one just as
dainty and desirable as her purse can
afford. Not too expensive, yet admira-
bly, girlish and dainty is the little
dancing dress pictured The draped
foundation is of pale blue crepe de
! chine and over this is a graceful tunic
of lace, confined under a sash of pale
pink ribbon. A nosegay of tiny pink
roses and violets adds a significantly
smart touch. Such a frock may be
accompanied by long gloves of silk;
the silk gloves with Niagara Maid en-
broldery on the wrist are particularly
pretty for evening wear. Buttoned
strap slippers of black kid with bead
embroidery on the toe may be worn
with the white frock and will also
match other frocks of dark material.
Footwear Vital Question Also.
The business girl is always in a
hurry in the morning, and usually she
Is tired at night; so if she is a wise
girl she has two pairs of workaday
boots and then there is never frantic
rush while dressing for breakfast, to
sew on boot buttons or polish boots

decorated in blue or green. Such a
room demands rosy tones, or sunny
yellow tints, and it's window hangings
must not be heavy enough to shut out
what light there is on stormy day.
The south or west room, on the con-
