not any given sum which such girl
spends; its value is limited only by
its purchasing power in the hand OF

Typically Partisan is the morning
deshabille illustrated in crePes max
ing a Pompadour combination. Its
blue outer side is faced with shell
pink which shows in the lined fronts
broadly turned back on the shout
ders. but tapered toward the waist and
widened by a blue ostrich feather
edging. At the hips the fronts OF
the neglige fasten with a heavy
loop and a big button in crepe, and
under these il is caught up and to-
gether in deep folds which make IT
narrower about the ankles than at
the shoulders, which merge into
loose sleeves. The Pompadour color
scheme is continued in pink and
blue flower nosegay-trimmed, pleated
pink chiffon cap and in blue-heeled
pink satin mules.
Petticoats and House Jackets.
Since the Parisienne has discarded
for street wear the dainty petucoat
for which she so long was famous,
she devotes more attention and, IN
cidentally, more money, 70 those
worn in the house. She has an awe
inspiring collection of under-jupons
in her wardrobe. and these she wears
in connection with jacket deshabilles,
and is apt to don this costume when
resting between tea and dinner time.

This coat is trimmed on each side by

trich spirals making the third tone OF
a deshabille in June rose tints. These
flower tones are repeated in the
short sprays of roses clasping the

Marabou or Contrasting Silk.
Next to ostrich feathers, the smart
woman likes marabou on her desha-
billie. And she prefers it in white
to contrast with neglige in color OF
delicate tone. On their padded
sachet hangers, most OF these gowns
look shapeless affairs in satin or
silk, with wide sleeves apparently be-
ginning nowhere and merging into
voluminous backs and fronts. But
when worn they instantly fall into as
graceful folds, as does new model
(shown at the left) Of ~citron satin
bordered with white marabou. On
its shoulders at either side are the
seams of a broad piece Of the satin
which, dropping low, form part OF
the arm-eye for the straight sleeves
the under half of which run into the
fulness of the back and front The
marabou, edging the neck and the
fronts as a single strand, runs to be-
low the waist-line, where, like the
Pompadour neglge, the fulness IS
caught up in loose folds.

theories in regard to economy in dress
that for the girl who wishes to achieve
true distinction and smartness are
mere fallacies.
One is the overrated importance of
tailored made-to-order suits. How
manv mediocre little tailors are sup
ported by this popular belief is beyond
COMMUNICATION who turn out
grade of work infericr in cut and ma
terial to what its cost would command
in any good shop, but over which is
the halo made to order"
Another popular means by which
the girl thinks to save money is to
trim her own hats. Rarely does the
homemade hat look anything but
homemade. And in the end is it al
ways cheap Often girl spends far
more than she realizes for a shape
here. trimming there, under the mis-
taken belief she is being economical.
Again, there is the one-color scheme
for an entire wardrobe, which, despite
the mistakes it might save some wor,-
en-. has its disadvantages. There is
monotony about it that is very firing.
Moreover, look about and one Will
find the successful tout ensemble is
more likely to be one which has two
colors. or even three, worked out as
the keynote of the whole. For ex-
ample, a red and black hat will be
found to have more distinction with
a blue frock in which bold black and
red embroidery is introduced and with
a blue coat piped in red than with any
alfred or all-black costume.
PitfaII in Buying Early.
A popular custom, dangerous to the
would-be careful girl, Is that OF buying
at the beginning of new season. The
lower one goes in the social scale the
more does one see this custom mag
nifed to an importance amusing to
the girl, who, save when 1t looks I'M
seasonable, Is indifferent to just when
she dons her new season hats and
frocks.
Not only are prices then at their top
notch. but one buys with no feeling OF
certainty. A good style may be the
very one which will be turned out sud-
denly by the cheap manufacturers. I'M
til it is seen spreading like a plague
over womankind.
Instead, the calendar may become an
important ally in dress management.
With a complete inventory of the
wardrobe and restricted expenditure
il is OF the greatest Importance to the
girl with nothing to wait for the ma
iority of her purchases until later.
lust why this custom is not more
general is hard to understand, until
one remembers that the tendency is to
buy ones new season wardrobe when
every one else is buying hers, and later
to sigh with every one else over the
greatly reduced bargains.

Some Gossip About Woman
 and Good Friday Thought
By DOLLY DALRYBfPLE

Who was it that proposed this toast to Woman, Lovely Woman?":
 "A rose, a lily, a dove.
 Serpent, little honey and
 A handful of clay.'
 Do you happen to know? Maybe
 The one who analysed the basic ele- ments that make a woman a woman could read farther, and with deeper char ity explain to herself.
 Because she is rose, a lily, a dove and a serpent all in one, that she remains the paradox eternal of the ages past, present and future.
 And,
 Maybe
 The little honey only makes more ap- parent the handful of clay which holds in solution that world-old mystery that map calls her soull
 Certainly:
 She is in some ways a sister to the rose
 There is the intangible fragrance of her spirit that must forever allure, because it is the eternal feminine.

Society, the majority of it at any rate, is buster this week with church So- ing than anything else, and entertain ments are almost entirely unknown quan- titles. There are a few small luncheons and gatherings for cards given from day to day but of the most informal nature. Charity and benefit affairs to be given after Easter are growing with the prep arations; yesterday Mrs. William Jordan, one of the chairmen for the cabaret :ea- ture of the charity ball Monday evening, said that instead of its being difficult to secure people to take part, it has been hard to make room for all the attrac- tive and promising novelties that were offered to her and her fellow chairman Mrs. Leo Steiner. The participants n the cabaret, by the way, are to meet for a full rehearsal this evening at the Southern club.
 Maundy Thursday, while quiet from a social standpoint, was not lacking in in- terest. At the Roebuck Springs Golf Auto club Mrs. Chappell Cory entertained the members of the Pierian club at their open meeting, and the additional friends invited for the occasion had an opnor- tunity to see what effective work these club women have been doing this winter. They have followed a programme of so- biological work and Mrs. W. L. Murdock was invited to address the club yesterday on child labor and compulsory education, B topic on which she is especially ntted to discourse.
 The quicturesque clubhouse was dec orated for the afternoon in woodland blossoms which fit in beautifully with the surroundings. After the programme light refreshments were served.
