Two afternoon frocks of the simple
and unpretentious sort that prove most
useful are shown in the picture above.
One of them is in taffeta silk in dark
blue and the other in wool tricOtine in
the same color. They are both very
practical dresses and the tricOtine will
be found equal to taking the place of
suit skirt and blouse, or separate
skirt and blouse, for all day. wear. 1t
is the sort of dress that becomes use
full for the street or business, worn
with fur piece or separate coat.
The taffeta dress is one Of several
popular models in which narrow
fiounces of the silk play an important
part. In some of these the skirt is a
series Of overlapping flounces, of seant
fullness, and each about five inches
wide. They are set to foundation
and terminate just below the hip line.
Above this the plain taffeta is gath
cred into the belt at the waistline.
Bodices In the several models vary,
some of them having no flounces in
their finishing, and favorite for them
is the surplice style. In the dress
shown above the skirt Is draped at the
sides and a group of three flounces set
on diagonally suggests a tunic high
at one side, Above this group a sec.
ond flounce follows the same diagonal
line. The fad for the girdles of heavy,

waist it follows the line Of the flounces
and makes a chic affair Of simple
dress. In this model flounces appear
on the sleeves and at the neck.
The frock of tricotine has an attrac-
tive and simple bodice that fastens
along the shoulder and underarm at
one side. It is cut with round neck
rather high and pattern in stitched
on braid that has the appearance OF
embroidery, outlines pointed collar.
The bodice extends little below the
waistline, where the skirt Is set on
in a way that widens the hips little.
A narrow band of the embroidery Or
naments the front Of the bodice and
similar band, but wider, is placed
about the skirt. Small, fiat, cloth-cov-
cred buttons extend in O closest row
below this band to the bottom of the
skirt. The soft girdle at the waist
is made of tricOtine and the long
sleeves flare a little and are finished
with narrow band of embroidery in
the same pattern as the other bands.
This little fare in the sleeves, the very
slightly widened hips, the easy adjust
ment of the bodice, are all new style

Concerning the Care of Silk Hosiery.
Merchants inform their customers,
with good reasons, that the price of
raw silk is likely to advance. There
may be no shortage Of it but the de-
mand has increased immensely. Silk
has replaced much of the cotton for
merly used in many things that wom-
en- wear, as hosiery, undergarments
and blouses, and much raw silk has
been diverted to these new channels,
where silk garments are In ever-in-
creasing demand. It is said that w0m-
en-. will pay any price for silk and
nothing tempts them to extravaganza
more surely than silk hosiery. But it
has reached a price now that puts it
almost beyond the reach of the woman
Of limited means and good Judgment.
The care Of silk stockings Is a matter
to be concerned about and those who
manufacture them and merchants who
sell them recommend that women be
informed as to means of prolonging
their service.
It Is said perspiration, dust and
stain from shoe Innings are the
chief enemies of silk hosiery. There
fore pair of silk hose should not be
worn a second time without washing.
Also they should be washed very soon
after they are worn and not allowed to
wait for a regular wash day to arrive.
Some women wash their silk hose
every time they wear them. For wash
ing use warm water and bland soap.
Dry indoors but not by artificial heat.
Never place silk hose on steam radia-
tors to dry them.
Anything that breaks a thread is fa.
tai to silk hose, therefore they should
be put on carefully so that the fine
threads will not be strained. Roll down
to the heel and insert the foot then
pull the stocking carefully on, avoid
ing undue strain when bringing 1t over
the foot. Rings which catch and
break threads will ruin any hose and
