Of this desire to get their orders in

fall business done better than in any

There Is fashion for wearing an
pveIslip of silk or satin that admits
of several overdresses to one under
slip. 1t Is most convenient and eco
nomical, because, with one or two IN
derslips, one may achieve variety of
toilettes that will do duty for after
noon and evening wear. Satin slips
In black, navy blue, dark brown, or
gray prove their adaptability to over
dresses Of printed georgette, wolfe and
similar fabrics and slips Of plain or
shot taffeta in light colors make the
lovely foundations used In lace, net
and all the other light colored sheer
dress stuffs. Besides being useful for
long overdresses the dark slips are
worn with hip-length and knee-length
blouses or smocks.

could not ask for better representation
than the two that speak so well for the
seasons styles in the picture above.
Nearly all Of them have soft sashes
or easy girdles at the waist line and
there are many very dainty laces used
over the light colored slips. voiles
and nets and crisp organdie are lovely
over them and seem to add distinction
to their dainty charm when worn over
black slips. One Of these lace dresses
over taffeta slip is shown at the left
OF the two models in the picture. The
sash and the cluster Of blossoms set in
the front Of It are both in the same
color as the underslip. There is fad
for placing blossoms at the front Of
the girdle. They indicate that their
