raille Supersedes Taffeta

A second yellow band trims q roll
ing collar partly overshadowed by q
more outstanding one in white linen,
and where the blouse is rounded low
in front the space is filled by square
topped canary silk vestee. A bunch OF
tiny lemons trims the Panama blue
faced yellow straw hat worn with this
costume.
RuNles take slanting direction on
black faille two-piece costume which
is attrsctively picturesque. Cord-edged
and headed, they slant from right to
left on a skirt so full in itself that its
trimmings have the appearance OF
being extended by hoops So great is
the slant of the topmost ruffie that the
space at the left side is filed in by
half length frilling. balancing a SINH
lar one applied near the hem, which
the fourth Of the original tier Of rufties
does not cover. Necessarily, the lower
edge of this skirt presents an irregu-
lar appearance.
Bias Bands Instead of Ruhies.
Women have grown accustomed 70
seeing abrupt dips at back, front or
sides. A variation Of this SKIRT has
cord-edged broad bias bands instead o.
ruffles. With either jupon is worn
Jacket whose disgonally buttoned
fronts. closing far toward the left side
are Of uneven length. The row OF but
tons stops at the centre Of the waist
line under the adjoining OF half
belt. starting as a triangle at either
undersrm seam and gradually tapering
bluntly. Slightly gathered-in sleeves
end under triangular cuffs. The high
rolled collar, stopping squarely before
the ear lobes. is in citron-color lined
white satin. Knowing that marquis
or turban would be at outs with this
costume, the girl who intends TO look
her best in il has ordered a semipoke
shape in Leghorn. TO be trimmed with
black cherries and yellow roses.
