Another Change in Waistline
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

This is the type of frock shown in

with jet belt set below a brocaded
vest.

to be worn with many of her new
frocks. For the French dressma ker
still finds it desirable to design
wrap for every frock. To be sure, by
doing this she does safeguard the
effect that the frock will produce
by making sure that it will be seen
with a harmonizing wrap. But she
also sometimes adds a neat little fig
ure to the price of the gown you buy.
These sleeveless jackets sponsored
by Georgette and others are very
tempting. Lelong is making old
fashioned taffela capes to go with
taffeta frocks for the warmer months.
1t is really difficult to describe ex-
actly the three piece suit, since OF
late years the tendency has been to
make the skirt and the bodice in one.
and further tendency has been to
make jackets or capes to accompany
so many frocks. Interest in three
piece suits this season was given
something of an impetus by the MORN
ing wedding at Westminster Abbey.

chosen to express the idea of formal

The veil. instead OF lending it to
them, emphasized the lack of it If
women would only learn this truth
about dress, that the human quality
which shows itself in the physical
appearance should be expressed in
clothes.
There is a decrease of lace and net
wells dangling from the hat and fall
ing over the shoulders. The presence
Of the King of the Hedjaz and his
followers at the Paris peace confer
ence caused a revival of the most an
Gent head covering.
This season it will express itself
through an imitation Of the man

The small veil that for generations

dropped by France the summer before
the war and has not been taken up.
Only the determined individualists

full they are fantastic. The more
curious they are Of weave, the less
admirable are they and the more
difficult to wear.
Whatever trimming is put OH such
straws appears unnecessary. They
1t seems odd to talk so glibly of or
namentation when while back the
trade was deploring the universal and
long-established custom of wearing
merely a shape. not overly expensive,
not hard to find. Shredded feathers
appeared as the first break in the
plainness. Slowly simplicity gave
way to a desire for adornment. The
revolution crept quietly upon the pub
lie until one morning it awoke to
find that it's dearly beloved plain
shape had gone into the shadows. A
part of this public went merrily into
the shops and gorged itself with all
the nigh-forgotten ornaments in
which milliners delight.

THE shops are more lenient than
L expensive hat-builders In the
variety and quantity Of trimming.
The French milliners are not racking
their imaginations to find new things.
Still, they use the cockade Of ribbon,
the artichokes, fattened out Of irreg-
ular ends of grosgrain and taffeta
ribbon, with the ends dipped in seal
ing wax.
There are more leaves than flowers
on the new hats. which is more sug-
gestive of autumn than spring. They
are shaded and take on the deep reds
and blues that go with the end of
summer rather than its beginning.
Some Of them are lusterless black.
Verlaine Of Paris creates a new
model with broad brim of old rose
taffeta edged with straw in the same
color as the silk and wide. high

shaded oak leaves. Such things,
however, are commonplace in con-

that this same milliner makes to
grow in her workshop. Think OF

But there seems to be no particu-

A Meatless Diet.

If man or woman intends to re-
duce, one excellent way might be to
60 on a meatless diet for while. 1t
cannot possibly do any harm. and 1t
can possibly do lot of good. For
one thing, meat is very fattening.
OF course there are many people
who are ordered on a meatless diet
by their doctors. have never yet
known a case that did not thrive on
it, A thin person can go on meat
less diet and get fat by including
concentrated foods, such as nuts and
cream. A fat person can go on
meatless diet and reduce by pelng
moderately careful not to indulge In
too many sweets and rich dishes.
Here are some suggestions for
meatless menus:
Grapefruit cocktail.
Chestnut soup.
Spaghetti croquettes.
Potatoes.

Coffee.
Oysters.
Cream of asparagus soup.
Brazil nut outlets.
Boiled rice.

Here are two more suggestions:

meat as tho main course. and II you

1t was oblong; it showed a bit of
curled fringe across the forehead;
the hair at the temples was drawn
