CONSIDER TUcKS AND PLAITS

! Few women realize ,he possibilities

is the exceptional afternoon costume
that includes them in it's modelling.
At more or less regular periods the

distinction of being called smart. The
truth of the matter is tucks and plaits
are considered rather old-fashioned.
And that classification is entirely err
roneous.
The fingers of the skilled style Gre
ator can accomplish wonders with
plaits and tucks This is particularly
true in it's application to the modelling
of afternoon frocks of soft silks and
cloths of supple texture. Cleverly
placed. the plat can give distinction
to the afternoon frock, giving it a Ger
