Eyelet embroidery makes its appear-
ance on shirtwaists as we'll as on
muslin and linen frocks-it also ap-
pears on hats.

NEW YORK. Aug. IA woman who
has vision in fashions bought for an
absurdly small sum OF money, white
linen gown covered with an elaborate
design in eyelet embroidery. 1t was
,hrast al the dawn OF spring into
mass of bargain garments on a large
counter.
Her friends, who were shopping with
her were amused at such a purchase.
Today they 60 about envying the wom-
an who had vision and who bought the
gown for something like SIS, for they
would be compelled to pay ten times
that much. for the same kind OF frock
made to fit them,
There are actually people who see
ahead in fashions, seemingly without
any secret and powerful connection
with the sources OF style. 1t is not
anything more or less than an extra
ordinary sense Of what is coming
which is gained by reading intelligent
ly and watching the straws of rumor as
they rise from the ground, to see what
direction they take.
Spirit of Wrecklsss Buying.
Hundreds OF women have this So
called gift II has its great advan-
tages and equal disadvantages. 1t is all
very wei to buy few excellent gay
rnents with All eve to their immediate
use, and to buy them with the vision
that says they will be successful and
fashionable, but the average woman
who possesses this instinct for what is
coming is apt to take advantage of too
many bargains. She cannot resist the
temptation to gamble; she is like n
Spectator who has had run of luck
She heaps up unavailable clothes in her
closet She piles her shelves with a
vast variety Of things that she has no,
the opportunity to use.
j.. When the woman who has no vision
but buys sanely aud consistently along
the lines OF immediate fashion, con.
siders the woman with the vision plu.
the recklessness Of purchasing lavishly
she thinks that possibly, after all, she
is to be congratulated
Those who read intelligently and
search through the byways of fashion

near future, knew in March that cycle,

manner, which is so much the better
