linen bedspreads to lay over a dainty

guest rooms, and the linen chest

having a vogue this season and the
business maid with brown eyes will
be sure to select one Of these brown
costumes. The model pictured is of
brown cloth embroidered in brown
and old gold and is matched by
small hat in the new mushroom sailor
shape, made of brown velvet. The
white broadcloth collar and cuffs are
separate from the gown and make it
very smart for the half holiday, to-
gether with boots Of brown glazed kid,
their buttoned tops of light tan kid.
Blue serge frocks, and frocks Of
very dark blue mohair, come in simple
one-piece models with trimming of
black braid, silk stitching and en-
broidery. Such frock, with braid
bound armholes and neck opening,
can be worn over various guimpes,
making an agreeable variety of cos

have black satin sleeves and collar;
another, sleeves and collar Of navy
Georgette crepe; still another, sleeves

smart separate skirts. Never were
skirts and blouses more popular-the
fad for sport dress accounts for that
and the business girl should make
the most of the fashion, for a separate

the very best costume for her needs.
Provided the blouse is simple in line.
with long sleeves, there is no reason
why the skirt should not have special
smartness and individuality in the way
of patch pockets. or a knotted sash
like the one pictured. This skirt Is
of dark green wool with a plaid pat
tern in gray and black. No skirt could
hang better, the graceful ripple edge
just clearing the boot-top. The sash
takes the place of a belt, so the skirt
is fitted to the waistline and finished
with an outstanding pleated frill of
velvet ribbon. The blouse is of white
tub silk in simple, tucked style.
The Business Girl On Her Way To
Work.
The average employer notices the
clothes in which his assistant comes
70 her daily labors and makes his
mental comment, for or against, Just
as he does upon her indoor, office
costume. The sound minded business
girl dresses as smartly as she Is able
to for the street, but never in clothes
that attract undue attention. She
knows, this canny business woman,
that she must look spic and span and
spruce and prosperous If she wishes
to succeed and get ahead; and she
knows too that a resemblance to a
fashion plate or a chorus girl will not
help her toward her end in view.
"She's little lady" says a pleased
employer of the busy helper who is
daily becoming more and more indis-
pensable in his office. "a little lady!"
Could any phrase, kept continually in
mind, better help the business girl
to select the right sort of coats, suits.
hats, boots and frocks for daily wear,
however much or little she has to
spend upon them?
The topcoat Of dark brown wool
velour is splendid model for all
weather wear and the big collar of fox
fur gives it exceeding stvle in COM
bination with round buttons of gray
bone. A good looking coat is invalu-
able to the business girl; 1t may be

and it's style Of an unpronounced
kind.
Very few business women rely
enough upon the dry cleaner and the
dyeing establishment. When one
wears a tailored frock or suit day in
and day out for weeks. it feels hope
lessly shabby and shapeless, even
though it's material may not be actual
ly worn in any place. Very often
a dry-cleaning will effect a veritable
metamorphosis. The hopeless looking
costume comes home, clean, fresh.
crisply pressed-in short almost like
new and the cleaning price Of two or
three dollars is really an economy.
1t is the part of wisdom to have two
or three frocks, sending them to the
cleaners in turn; but too often the
business girl can save up only enough
for one new frock and having worn
that ad nauseum, turns with rejoicing
to a needed new one. A whisk-broom
strenuously applied has been the in
visible reason for many a young wom-
ans promotion, for it is likely to be
the efficient, capable girl who plies
her own whisk-broom industriously,

SMART FOOTWEAR
LONG AND SLIM

~ HE smart boot for fail is very long
and narrow. 1t must be long.
- indeed, in order to be as marrow,
as fashion DEGREES. The wearer of an
ordinary size four boot. finds she must
buy size six, these days in order to
endure with comfort the double A
width prescribed by Madam Mode.
If she has a naturally slim foot and
can wear triple A, lucky is she. But
anything wider than an A width is
beyond the pale. for the slender, aristo-
cratic foot is now the thing-very
much the thing. For formal wear
with handsome tailored suits and
frocks buttoned boots are the choice
and these come in the most delightful
combinations of light and dark glazed
kid, or of kid with cloth tops. Laced
walking boots are correct with utility
and sport costumes and such boots
are very English in type. with the
long, slim lines now insisted upon and
heel mannish in type rather than
curved and high. Brown boots are
the fashion for street wear and a dark
brown glazed kid is considered very
smart indeed. Bronze buttoned boots
and slippers continue in favor for
dress wear.

worn over office froeks by day, and
over social frocks of lighter color in
the evening. The hat, gloves and
boots will help in giving day or even
ing character to the coat. And speak
ing Of social frocks, 1t will be
dull business girl indeed who does
not have a chance now and then to
wear party dress. A very pretty one
is pictured, a frock in simple but
modish style which could be achieved
at moderate expense. The material is
printed silk of soft quality, with pale
blue figures on q mauve ground. Mar
row bands of gold lace edge skirt
and tunic and q strip of the lace holds
down the pleats of the silk, Just below
the draped basque. This basque is of
unf1gured mauye silk and its trim
lines are due to fitted strip OF feath-
erbone girdelin under the soft drapery.
The guimpe and little sleeves are of
gold embroidered white tulle.

bedraggled. There are good modern
crinoline fabrics which are not af-
fected by crushing or dampness. Look
to the facings of skirt and tunic II
you would be sure of suit that will
endure hard wear; and look to the
stitching also. If the lapels OF the
coat are conspicuously stitched in silk
and the seams show cotton thread,
discard that coat as a mediocre gar
ment inflated In price. The best
makers stitch throughout with silk,
as the French couturieres do, not only
for the added distinction of style
! gained but also because such gar
ment keeps it's smartness and it's lines
much longer.
Tailored Frocks BY The Dozen.
The business girl should have no
difficulty this fall in picking up one
or two smart little serge frocks for
winter wear. The shops abound with
them, and prices are amazingly low
partly because of the simple lines and
the economy Of cutting models Of this
! type. Brown serge frocks with silk
stitching in self-tone, or touches of
embroidery in shades Of brown, are
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-10-29

IN furnishing the new apartment
this fall, put part of the amount
you have set aside for new and
distinctive things for the home
into mirrors. The value Of mirrors Is
too often overlooked by ambitious
home furnishers who add tables,
chairs, pictures and lamps indiscrim-
inately selected, until rooms are hope
lessly cluttered up. A mirror adds
spaciousness instead Of detracting
from spacious effect; and the small
room with one or two well-placed
mirrors seems much larger than it
really is. Very good mirrors can
sometimes be picked up in second
hand furniture shops, for these lux
uries are often the first things to be
disposed of by people forced to
economic. Keep on the lookout for
Just the mirror you have in mind and
when you find 1t at a reasonable price
seize upon it. Two things make q
mirror handsome; the quality of the
glass and the style of the frame. Mod
2 ern mirrors are of very heavy, beveled
