son. For whatever the hour Of
the day or night there is some exqui-
site trifle to add to the quota of beauty
that each of us is expected to con-
tribute to the world. Clothes were
never more diversified or more allur-
ingly feminine, and it only remains for
us to make a happy selection from the
embarrassment of riches that awaits
our choice. Suits of all types from
simple but jaunty little affairs Of
rough tweed to elaborate, befurred
models Of fine woolens and heavy silk
crepes, are available for day wear.
And with the suits blouses, and,
oh, what blousesi Linen as sheer and
fine as the finest silk, embroidered
with hand embroidery and embellished
with all sorts Of fascinating frills, bows and
scarfs. Blouses Of georgette, Of crepe, Of
muslin, Of satin, all Of them fresh, charming and
frivolously dainty. And so that you may see
what is what in the blouse world we have had
three delightful models sketched for you. The
first is of handkerchief linen in a lovely shade
of rose-beige. It's pleated ruffle will lend
animation TO even the simplest suit. The next
is also of handkerchief linen in primrose yel-
low and is ornamented in faggoting and mar
row tucking. Faggoting is also used for the
third model, which is Of blue linen with an
important looking jabot.
If the day. sartorially speaking, is glorious,
the night is just bewilderingly lovely, made so
by the gorgeous evening clothes and fascinat-
ing trifles offered TO us by the mode in It's
feminin mood. Lace, sparkling j~ewelry, won

just some of the wonderful manifestation
Of the mode after dark. One of the very
