Hints

we could see, and the glimpses
that we had of the new Spring
Waists more than repaid US
for the trip. They are de-
lightfully fresh, and of such
exquisite colors that it isquite
hard to decide which ones you
really want most.
OF course, when the real
Spring days come and heavy
coats are laid aside, you must
have attractive waists to wear
under the tailored suit, for ev-
cry woman knows that if she
has on an attractive waist I'M
der her street coat she is
ready for almost any informal
occasion, and the new ship
ment of waists that was just
being opened had variety
enough to suit any occasion
where a separate waist is en-
pected to appear. For morn
ing wear there are the eX-
tremely smart plaid gingham
silks in either blue, black or
brown, with fresh white COL
lars and cuffs Of messaline.
Some of the collars are rolled
Tuxedos, while others are in
the new Gypsy style.
(By the way, you will be in
terested to know that those
lovely Gypsy collars that l
told you about some days ago
were every one sold next day,
so when / give you a hint you
had best take it promptly
In lighter colors are the
loveliest Tub Waists in the
daintiest shades Of striped
pinks, blues and yellovs, some
of which have high, closely
buttoned self-material collars
that will be most stylish with
a black satin stock, while 9TH
ers have Tuxedo collars of
white wash silk. If the girls
from a certain school that I
have in mind oncc see these
waists, / feel sure that no one
else will have a chance to buy
them.
If you have decided to have
a SATIN Skirt, you will
surely want one of the new
Georgette Waists, because
they are so pretty, and when
they were piled up on the
counter it looked exactly like
Grandmother's sweet-pea bed.
Every color of the sweet-pea
bloom is there, and the same
exquisite shades have been
made into these lovely waists.
One lovely yellow waist was
embroidered in tiny white
beads, another was Of lowell
est lavender, while one of the
very newest was of natter
blue, with rolled collar, vest
and tuTned-back cuffs ofwhite
There was still an
other in orchid, and the waists
IN pink were too beautiful to
attempt to describe. You must
see them for yourself.
There is a certain blonde
girl here in a we'll known
school that l just want to see
in a skirt Of pink Baronet
Satin, with a pink Georgette
waist, and one Of those COL
lapsible hats that is made
from pink and green plaid
silk, faced with pink straw.
She would be even lovelier
than she is In the roguish
toque and great coat that she
has worn this winter.
II you are smart enough to
make your own skirts, you
will find several shades of
washable Amazon satin in the
Silk Section, while in the Lib
erty Section there is a Wood
ray cord in palest blue that
Will make a lovely skirt, and
the new Butterick Quarterly
will give you a variety of pat
terms to choose from. If you
decide to use buttons on the
: klrt, you can have any stvls
covered in your own material
at the button counter.
] am going to learn to sew
right now, so that | can have
dresses instead of one,
and | know that when | begin
Summer voiles | will
never know when to stop.
You know | already have a
reputation as a good cook, and
Father says that ! can make
some things "as good as his
Mother used to make" but l
forgot to tell you that | went
Tuesday afternoon with Moth
ar to the Liberty War Kitchen
lecture, and | learned lots of
helpful things and we are
going to these lectures every
Tuesday afternoon, so that in
our kitchen, at least, there
will be practiced wartime
economy. To be sure. Mother
is not a wasteful housekeeper,
but she says that no house
keeper ever knows so much
that she cannot learn more.
