Most photographs, particularly small
ones of landscapes, street scenes and In

to be estimated at their true value. be-
cause they are not looked at in the most

TAILOR MADE GIRL
COMING BACK TO
FASHIONS REALM
Frocks of Fluff and Fnll
Make Way for Plain Shirt
and Practically Cut Skirt.

The tailor-made girl is walking, in her
own sure-footed way, back into the arena
Of fashion. Frooks all fun and frirs
alienated the feminine heart for a time,
and the plain shirt and the severely cut
skirt were slighted unless golf or tennis
or the out-of-doors gave them a brief
hours favor
The tailored blouse appears this season
In a variety of materials, silks and linen
and even sheer batiste. The yoke ia its
familiar spirit once more. not the pointed
yoke popular in the past. but yoke cut
straight at the back and prolonging the
shoulder line in front,
The tub silks are quite smart again,
with the striped silk a greater favorite
than the plain white or solid color
They stay fresh so much longer than
linen or lawn, and they launder so easily
and we'll that they are far more practical
than the shirt that is made of any other
material
The blouse sketched today is Of striped
wash silk. with flaring collar and turn
back cuffs OF linen, stifTly starched.
The narrow string tie. popular onco
more. ties below the v of the blouse,
which is only Just deep enough for tho
free movement Of the throat and not the
elongated v Of tho summer blouse.
The skirt is out after an old pattern
that Is acquiring new prestige. 1t Ia close
at the hips and gored in way that
gives enough width at the foot for free
dom In walking.
There is deep yoke to the skirt with
a Stimulating fold in front. along which
three buttons are ranged for ornamental
and not for utiitarian purposes. Tho
skirt buttons in the back genuinely.
The pocket, placed rather low on the
skirt beneath the yoke, is useful and
gives the masculine touch necessary to
the success of all tailored garments.
For the business girl or woman there
is nothing so appropriate for office wear
as the plain skirt and blouse.
The trim tailored look is very attractive
under all circumstances, but office con-
ditions make 1t sensible and suitable.
The vogues change too quickly in ths
elabora tely cut or trimmed frocks to
make them n wise investment for prac-
tical wear; that Is for wearing for .
season, day in and day out.
But the simple shirt and the severely
cut skirt look as well on their last day
as on their frst-in fact, to the very end
Of the chapter of their wearing.
