SHE'S ALL RIGHT

DIE - ALL NlN1E1
A young woman. a swift and ac-
curate stenographer, earning her
own living, writes to a weekly maya
zine to voice an objection to the
frivolous manner in which stenog-
raphers are treated in modern popu-
lar literature. She resents references
to them as gum-chewing, slang-talk-
ing, gaudily dressed, bleached blends
whose spelling is as bad as their
manners.
The girl is justified in making this
kick against fiction writer's now,
when hundreds of thousands of
young women, self-educated, self
respecting and self-supporting if in.
deed, not supporting family, are
contributing their share, and more,
to the daily business life of this coun-
try.
But those stenographers, or wo-
men engaged in other work, who
know that they are not gum-chewers,
slang-talkers or bad spoilers, need
not, accept such descriptions as re-
Elections on their occupation. Fic-
ton writers are not all deep stu
dents of life or conditions, nor are
they all accurate in their descrip-
lions of places and people or the
things that go to make up real life.
They have fallen away from the old
style Of faithful writing and into a
lighter vein of fiction that will last
for but day, comparatively, and
which is written with little thought
of whose feelings may be hurt just
as long as someone may laugh at a
line in story, like the following for
instance: Have you done anything
for spelling REFORM" Eyes, l fired
my blonde stenographer."

of the very useful kind. It is not too dressy to be worn to the morning dance, for we dance all hours just now, and it is quite elaborate enough for the afternoon affair and every woman knows of what value gown of this sort really is. These are times of much activity. One must go here and there and do perhaps a dozen things in single day. To Dc able to dress in the morning and feel that the costume is correct until dinner time is a great boon, and the silk gown fills just such a need. If you are in need of some
 thing plain, you can carry out the same idea in serge in place of the taffeta with trimming of tafeta, and blue serge with black tafeta would be ex- ceedingly practical and exceedingly handsome, or brown serge with brown with taffeta. As we started out by SdytnS thctt IS dlItOSt uo Huut U ti6 possibilities of any costume this spring, for you can make different effects by the use of different con- binations of colors and materials, and one of the most interesting features of present fashions is to be found in the way the same design is used for simple materials and for handsome ones. This particular gown, and. indeed. any one of those shown on this page. can bs made from handsome silk to be very dressy, or from plain serge or crtps to be pretty and practical and useful- in fact, if the color effect and material are changed it requires an expert to discover that fundamentally the de- signs are the same To the casual ob- server the whole costume would be different. Who but the woman who made it would think that the gown of moi< with plain silk shown on another figure is made after the same pattern as one with blouse and tunic of lowered crepe and skirt of plain taffeta with the little vest portion

WHERE never was a season that

THERE never was a season that
 rendered dressmaking quite 50
 simple and easy as this one. Every blouse that is fashionable is loose. All the skirts take folds and draperies, therefore nothing must be exactly fitted, and the labor of dress making is so much reduced that it seems as though any woman could have . variety of gowns with very little cost and very little labor. Then again, we are to wear 50 many combinations of ma terials that economy is assured. We all know that the great designers had little thought of anything SO practical when the first models were put forth, but nevertheless, the result remains. Look at the illustrations on his page. If you have a garment of last season to remodel, how easy to follow the sug- gestion of the Roman striped eponge with the plain, or to make the blouse and the trimming of pretty lowered material to go with the plain, as sug- gested in another costume All thc skirts remain narrow, and, conse- guently, those from last year can be used again with the addition of a tunic or trimming. Fashion declares that we may put together taffeta and wool, lowered material with plain, stripes with all plain colors, and she also offers us an almost bewilderins variety of colors and effects. Whether she intended it or not, she has certainly played into the hands of women of limited means, and has made it easy for them to be well dressed. There Is scarcely any one costume that might not be varied again and again, and, consequently, adapted to the special means of the one you must alter or make Some of the greatest designers are making combinations that at h,Jt thought seemed little strange, fo1 we are not accustomed to see quite such vivid colorings used one with

the other. When they are we'll handled and when the costumes are designed by an artist they are very beautiful, but as is always the case with an unusual effect, they require care, and unless you are very sure of your own taste and judgment it is we'll to keep to quiet colors and simpler effects. Roman stripes are beautiful in con- bination with almost any dark color, and if the foundation color of your fancy material matches the plain one you will get good effect whatever the lowered or figured design may be. If you have a two-tone fabric to con- Line with the plain one, and are little uncertain how to choose, raveI it out enc of the colors that go to make the fancy effect will be good in contrast. Ii you want to put green and brown together, study the moss or the lichen that grows on tree, and see how per fectly the shades harmonize, and if you are thinking of making very stunning contrast. study bed of tulips, Nature is always a good guide, and the cleverest designers go to her for inspiration. One of the loveliest gowns ever sent forth from a famous French establishment ewes its inspiration to a lovely color effect produced by glorious sunrise. and each one of US are free to study nature in her various moods and to- find color suggestions. The purple. of the violet is perfect against the back ground of its own leaves. If you want to put those colors together bear that fact in mind. White and black can tc used with everything. Bits of lack often enhance any costume esp, ciaily ii its color is at all a brilliant one. All sorts of thin, dainty materials are Icing used for chemscttes and col lars but white organdy is one of the newest and me ss fashionable Sup

of the same silk as the skirt and the collar and cuffs cf white organdic yet you could make the other costume from the model as well as the ons illustrated and it would be just as fashionable. Before many weeks it will be time to think of summer clothes and the linens arc beautiful. One of the newest shows brocaded effect. and brocaded linen with plain would make an exceedingly handsome costume. while one could go on indefinitely making suggestions.
 There is a very pretty effect ob- tained by the combination of the dotted foulaId with plain that is shown on another figure. You think of this as an entire costume, and such 1t is, but the blouse makes a very good model for the odd waists that we must all have to wear with coat suits. When used for this purpose it can be made from voile, crepe de chine or any such material One of the prettiest fancies of the spring $ for the blouse of white with trimming of color. This would be charming of white with collar and re- vers of yellow, ceriss or some such color, or. if you like, you could use real emerald green. for all the vivid shades are in fashion, and 1t only becomes a question of selecting one that is becoming and suits your own need. Suppose you have . spring suit of brown, what . pretty effect the blouse would make of white with real yellow for the collar and cuffs; or ycu could make it of brown crepe de chine with yellow for the trimming and yet the costume effect. Any clever woman who thinks it out can evolve numberlcss suggestions for any single model, and any one who is alert can find trimming material to harmonize with any other. It is really won derful spring when we study it from all these points of view.
