Handkerchiefs Resemble Shawls
ny ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

There is p time when square Of
gayly printed cs..tcn or silk ceases to
be a handkerchief and becomes a
shawl. But the line IS not clearly de-
fined and sometimes it is hard to tell
whether the square a woman wears
draped around her shoulders is
really very large handkerchief or a
very, very small shawl.
At present haHdkerchiefs are in
creasing. in size, even the handker-
chiefs that are really used as
handkerchiefs. Many women actually
prefer a handkerchief that is as large
as the sort always sold for young
boys-smaller than a mans handker-
chief, vet larger than the usual wom-
ans handkerchief. And when this
handkerchief is made in very hne
linen it is really not bulky at all

thus getting dangerously near to

really isn't.
often the larger handkerchief

of four thicknesses and then used to

riding stock on tailored suits and
frocks.
Kerchief originally meant cover

polite word than the old "muckinder."
So perhaps there is nothing new
in the idea of using one of these
squares as a head cover. That is
