the black and white. blazer striped,
girdle to bring out its style. so per-
fectly was every detail worked out
The skirt cleared the ground by
about four inches; mature women
have all adopted this length as more
becoming than the extremely short
skirt Below the skirt trim white
huckskin tie laced in black could be
seen. Her white Milan straw, medium
il size, with brim tlaring just enough
to soften her face. sported a bow OF
the blazer striped silk and her slen-
der-handled parasol. resting open on
the back of her chair completed the
picture of an up-to-date woman we'll
dressed.
So diverse are the effects gained with
these jackets. IL is hard TO believe so
many frOcks have tho same feature.
Here, is q ccatee of robins egg blue
taffeta, fitted through the body, hav-
ing flafing tails, and "leg o. mutton
sleeves set in with narrow frills re-
vived from Victorian styles. This is
worn with a voluminous skirt OF net.
There is a frock of cotton crepe, en-
broidered and hemstitched IN PINK
with coatee of pink linen; while a
model Of wolfe and flet lace has a
jacket of black faille cut on the boil
ero order. Indeed. there is no end TO
the materials. Dolly Warden taffetas,
deep old-world pink and brilliant blue
taffetas, failles and MORE silks make
quaint coates for crinoline frocks
and not few of the bolero effects are
/ fashioned of lace or fine embroidery.
( There is also lace material, lately
I launched on the market. for dresses of
! this type. the texture like a fine voile
embroidered with garlands in pastel
/ shades.
Aside from the fabrics. accessories
are so attractive, they in no small
measure account for the success of the
/ lingerie dress, for there is many d
maiden who buys a frock thar she
may have the girdle that goes with It..
( Although. it is an acknowledged fact,
waists are gradually growing smaller,
the girdle still follows straight lines.
Loose crush girdles Of tafeta, MORE
silk or primly-howered belts of mar
row grosgrain are pretty finishes for
filmy frocks
The handkerchief bag is another
fancy, demure as the daguerrootype
from which il is taken. Usually the
bag is made of material the same as
the dress. cut in half-circle, shirrod
an inch down from the top and hung
from the belt with cords or ribbon.
The handbag. too, takes on a new
, beauty. Soft gathered models of flow
cred. MORE and striped silk, have sill
yer tops. that stretch like bracelet;
white leather bags, fiat purses and
gold kid skin cases are lined with
gorgeous Powered and striped silks.
Madam lie Mode, not content with
these features alone. insists that mi
lady be up to the ears in style this
season and introduces the feather and
tulle boas to wear with the new lin
gerie dresses.
Hats. too. conform to the new lines
in dress. Large French sailors, tilted
on one side, daily grow in favor
satin and chiffon facings are being
used on the top of the brim and sides
of the crown. One smart black sailor
has the crown covered with silk bea-
yer and a single flower embroidered
on net appliqued on to one side. A
smoothly polished lisere straw OF
"nigger-brown" has large detached
roses. with another Marguerites and
velvet streamers tackled in the back

of white beads around the crowns
with a single beaded flower directly
