have finally arrived.
One consideration is that they
will stay in style for some time
to come. There is every indica-
ton that there will be two def
mite silhouettes this fall, the very
slim, tubular effect, and the swag-
ger line. The cape costume really
combines the two. for under most
capes, a slim skirt looks best, and
the cape provides the top width
or swagger. It's a safe prediction
that more capeS will be worn in
the fall than you are seeing right
now-and that's a good many.
WOODS WEAR BEST
The costumes of the moment
are in many materials. Many of
the smartest are the lightweight
woolens. and they are wonderful
for immediate wear. They will be
grand for your summer cruise, too,
or for your vacation on the train
or by motor, as there are always
times when you need something
a bit warmer than most of your
summer clothes. and then wool
stands up" so much better than
anything else.
Sheers are coming in fast and
furiously, too. and they are lovely
tailored for those who want them
for work or travel, and frilly for
afternoon and dress-up occasions.
We have grand photograph which
we will get into the paper the
next few days, of a navy sheer
with a cape. The dress has white
embroidered batiste veStee and
daisies for further femininity. It's
grand for any warm day through
out the spring and summer, and

Better get your doctor to talk

leading, is likely to result in q
nervous breakdown.
In that case he would certainly
have to have someone to look out

WEDDING DINNER
Dear MIS-, Beeckman !:

"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II am to be married very soon.
We are going to another city to
be married. Is it customary for
the bride or the groom to pay for
the dinner at the hotel after the
wedding?
"Since we are to be out of the
city, should the bride arrange for
the dinner at a hotel, that is,
make the plans, and pay and SO
forth in advance just as she
would take care of a reception, if
she were going to have a recep-
ton? BRIDE-TO-BE."
Since it is the obligation of the
bride or her family to arrange and
pay for the post-ceremony recep-
ton dinner, this circumstance
should be regarded in the same
way. 1t would be you, the bride,
who would invite the guests, and
who would make the plans aud
financial arrangements for the
dinner.

er Silhouette Promises to Remain in Fashion for Fall
FOR A COMPLETE WARDROBE--A LACE REDINCOTE

YOU'LL find few cos
tunes that will fit into as
many inches of a busy life
as a lace redingote-wear-
able for dinner, for evening,
for Sunday night parties,
and equally good for all.
Summer dancing will de-
mand it too. The new lace
redingotes are posed over
taffeta slips, usually, and
they can be tailored or in
dirndl type. The lace gown,
Of redingote type, that is
photographed is of peasant
or dirndl inspiration, with
puffed sleeves and high
waistline accented by mar
row green velvet tied in
little bows in front. The
lace is the fashionable Chan
lilly type, and the gown
comes only in black, with
green velvet. For the name
of the store where it is
available, call District 1000,

l1SC OF Lne names.
"How should the invitations be
wOrded? Are men invited to a
shower of this kind? Should this
shower be given at her home, or
should it be given at my home?
CONSTANT READER"
You might send your invitations
on the small novelty cards that are
sometimes used for shower inV1-
tations. If you buy such cards, get
white, simple, dignified ones. There
will be spaces for the date, hour,
place, and the kind of shower you
are planning to give.
Or, think, more charming
would be the gracious notes Of in
vitation that you might send
Somewhat like this, say, to a
friend of your friend, one you don't
know.
Dear Miss Grace Allen:
II am giving linen shower in
honor of Sally Smith at my home
on Tuesday, June third, at four
o'clock, and it would make Sally
and me very happy if you will
come.
'SaIIy's mother gave me your
name as one of Sally'S dearest
friends, and although I haven't
had the pleasure of knowing you
1 am sure that our mutual devO
ton to Sally will let you take me
on faith Do tell me that you will
come, Miss Allen.
Cordially yours"
Sometimes men are invited tc
come in at an hour that will be
about two hours after the time set
for the shower.
That is, the shower itself is held
first, and then the men invited to
come in for bridge or dancing. This
kind of shower is usually given
in the evening. Since you are to be
hostess, this shower should be
given at your home.
