with Mrs Ralph Cav
The elder daughter of a family in |
which the pet of the household is sin |
the east at school, is hurrying to buy /
her spring suit and hat with a good
margin of time before the Easter hol- |
days. She means to be extra safe. !
Last year. she told me, II postponed |
buying my spring clothes. Little sis
ter came tripping home at Easter with
all her old buds in her trunk, every
worn to fiddle strings. She
got my new suit. This year I'll arrive
first. Father may howl at the bills,
but it will be too late to put the brakes
on my purchases

The chiffon and lace pantalets that
have struggled so long for a leg to
stand on are now also firmly enScOnc-
ed in favor and on neither limbs. The
crinoline and full ruffly skirts of the
moment have given them their great
opportunity and they are making the
most of it. These dainty confectionS
are the truly feminine versions of the
trouser. at least they were. now that
the males are due to don silken trous
ers themselves, however, who can say.
since this Silken mandate of the Tail
orS association has gone forth there
seems nothing to it but to prepare to
listen for Hectors sill>en stride and
the frou frou of Ferdinand's foot
steps. So far the showing of these
silken suits for the men have been
confined to the sort of Palm Beach
effects and summer suits of natural
hued shantung and pongee. Suits of
purest white silk are also shown and
goodness knows the silken lengths
they'll go before the seasons over
After all, why bar the sterner sex from
SILK They certainly have as much
right to don panties of charmeuse or
crepe de chine the dear girls have
to attain to trouser legs of tailored
SuitinS.
