IT'S EASY TO DRESS
WELL NOWADAYS.

Most women dress well NOWADAYS.
The impression the majority CT young
women give one at present is thar
OF being extraordinarily well groomed,
TO use a familiar and expressive term.

Though garment of grace, the new
macintosh, in its pleasing phases,
has lost none of the utilitarian quail
ties Of its less attractive sister. Made
in fashionable lines, the waterproof
coat of the present season can be
worn for all occasions. It's surface is

The umbrella industry has suffered

proof millinery that made its debut

shiny black patent leather, it was
clumsy in appearance and heavy in
weight.
New rainproof hats are made in
more practical and becoming way. oil

ter advantage, and are finished with
neat little brim and trimmed with
rainproof flowers. Black and white
is the favorite color blend, and the
hats are as a rule just big enough tc
protect the hair of the wearer.
