of the pinafore which does not come
quite together except at the bottom.
A belt of the ribbon, passing under
the pinafore at the front, holds it in
place at the waistline. This dainty
gown has long, bishop sleeves and
sleeves, collar and pinafore are edged
with pleated net rufilng.
1t is faddsh this year to have very
long sleeves on even thin dresses and
the woman VINO can stand long sleeves
in summer without evaporation of
spirit, will be likely to wear them.
but that comfortable elbow sleeves
will also be permissible is shown by
two of today's authoritative lingerie
models, one of lace and the other
of bordure net. An ultra smart net
goNn for Southland wear, just com
pleted for young matron noted for
her up-to-date costumes, has a net
skirt tucked to the Waistline--or
rather to a shallow yoke, covered by
the deep, draped girdle--and a per

one of the prettiest-yet one of the

tured is the froGk of embroidered

pretty cOnccit is the finish Of the long
sleeve in rounded scallops, picot-edged
and not hemmed. The leghorn hat
accompanying this frock is trimmed
with purple silk and violets.
Combinations OF Lace and Net Much
Used.
Two lace and net costumes with coat
effects are pictured. The figure car
rying the raised parasol wears a frocl
of lace in simple, graceful lines. y
gathered skirt OF deep lace houncing
falls over a net petticoat rufted with
accordion plated net. The waist Of
net and lace Insertions has bertha
and deep collar arrangement Of ulet
lace which suggests loose coat. The
girdlc is of warp printed ribbon in
natter blue and rose pink.
The second lace and net gown Is
more elaborate and has an actual coat
with long. set-in sleeves and notched
revers, all made Of the nlmy net with
appliques of Venice. The second
Aounce of the skirt matches the coat
while the lower and upper hounces
are OF lace. \ sleeveless bodice of
the lace goes under the coat. but the
lack Of sleeves is made up for by the
high, buttoned collar. Coat and skirt
have been dropped over a long sleeved
slip Of rose pink silk and the leghorn
hat Is trimmed with narrow black vel
vet and tiny, applique silk roses with
green leaves. pink silk rose is
tucked against the front of the coat

not merely force OF the forearms. but
force of the muscles of shoulder and
back-to get good results.
Two of the figures tthe side and
back views) show an arm exercise for
strengthening round shoulders, a figure
defect which has developed with the
debutante slouch and which is far
too prevalent among young women
now. The arms are extended as far
down and out as possible at the back
and the fingertips interlocked. Then
by bending the elbows the arms are
drawn up until the locked fingers
touch he waistline at the back. The
chest is thrown out as the illustra-
ton shows. and while the hands are
clasped at the back n few deep breath
ing exercises should be taken, EN-
pei all the air from the lungs, then
draw in more air slowly, slowly, grad
ually initiating the lungs until you can
feel the snugness OF your belt This
means that the lungs are filled TO
their lowest depths-which are not
often treated to a change of air for
most women breathe with the upper
lungs alone. After holding the breath
a moment, oXpcl the air as slowly as
it was drawn in. This will give you
a better poise and will also help to
make your waistline simmer.

else to give poise--the new poise that
suits best the new costumes.
The first requirement of this new
poise Is a strong back which must b.
at the same time a straight fiat, back
The new figure Is not like the athletic
figure of the Gibson girl period when
women were adjured to stand erect
hips back, shoulders back; heels to-
eether, knees straight, and chests up.
Everybody who has taken calesthenics
or physical culture lessons can recall
the familiar formula. The pose gave
a very alert, erect line to the figure
but ii emphasized the hips and formed
decided curve al the back, from
shoulders in to waist and out agar
below. This line must not appear IN
the 1915 figure, or the silhouette will
be all wrong.
The new silhouette shows fla

instead of dropping weakly forward

realize that the relaxed, slightly ap-

/ the "slouched" or "drooping figure
will be impossible when the head ano
chin are held alertly up. In this pc
sition a frank, fearless and alert ex-
preston comes naturally to the face.
To acquire the new attitude which
for want of better name is some
times called the military poise-
! though there is not much that is mil
itary about it except the thrown back
shoulders-stand firmly on both feet.
This is very important at first. Later

"a lection are now taking heart of
grace and preparing for profitable
season; for at last the slouchy figure
is going out of fashion; trimness and
poise are taking the place of relaxed
limpness and the modern woman is
again going TO look as though she pos
sessed backbone, instead of being
hung together by nabby muscles.
Almost three years ago the now
famous debutante slouch came into
fashion. At first it was taken up only
by very youthful and frivolous maid -
ems who copied it from the attitude
of an actress noted for her graceful
movements rather than her histrl-
onic requirements. The debutante
SLOUGH was supposed to toe the essence
of grace, but as it came to be prac-
ticed by almost every woman VINO
made any pTetense toward fashion, Its
various cortortions were often more
painful to the observer than express
sive of perfect grace of line.
And now. with the coming of Sc
