Knows she must have to be
happy Other fabrics may be as
expensive, but nothing else will sat

demi toilettes of this materia! that
are very beautiful and yet exceed
ingly simple in design. I am show
ing you this week a gray velvet
costume that, while plain, is dressy
enough to wear to any afternoon
affair. The shade of gray, by the
way. is one of those clear grays

The skirt, as you will see. has
the neb- front opening. It is circu
lar in form, and the right side is
fastened over on the left with large
gray buttons. The deep tuck just
below the hips is one of the little
touches that mark the latest gowns
1 particularly like the coat. Its
front edges are shaped to niHtch
the front of the skirt. This gives
the fashionable cutaway effect. The
revers and collar are of robins’ egg
blue velvet.
The fur on the sleeves, the boa nnd
the muff bands are of gray fox.
The coa* is lined with blue, and so
is the muff.
The muff is one of the smartest,
it is of bright green velvet shirred,
and is, you see, the newest shape.
This touch cf green is very effect
ive with the gray, I think.
The hat is simple to a degree. It
Is medium in sir,*,. Is of gray
velvet faced with black. The
feather is vari-colored. and there is
no other trimming.
In tue middle picture I am show
Ing you one of my episode gowns.
This is made of a peculiar shade of
deep pink, the shade that Is found
on the under side of ordinary mush
rooms. The coat is severe and
gives, as you will observe, the new
wide-hip effect and narrow shoul
ders; in fact, that is to be the
next feminine outline. The tight
high-collar, skirt and mu? bands are
of chinchilla.
The coat is untrimmed. aside
from till two dozen buttons that
fasten it and the low pockets that
are bound with green satin. The
muff is shirred and Has a facing of

the small shapes. ]
The hat shown in the first pic- I
ture is cf velvet and . sealskin.
Ti e turned-back brim is about six
inches deep. The only trimming is
the hunch ot green and brown quills
on the tip of the brim. This gives
a verv dashing effect, and is apt
to be becoming to most women
But to lay aside hats and gowns
for the moment, let me tell yon
of some of the blouses and small
fixings that take so important a
place in every well-groomed wom
an’s wardrobe, and incidentally
make a large hole in her pocket
money. I always urge my clients to
wear sheer muslin blouses, rather
than chiffons and silks.
For personally—as 1 have always
tried to make quite clear to you in
my articles —I attach the greatest
possible importance to the “little
things” of the toilette, and even —
and. Indeed, especially—when a
woman is wearing a severely plain
■allot suit would wish her to intro
duce iu bl-use or undersiip or belt or
t-e some "’irely and alluringly
feminine to. so that in the -ery
contrast the.v will be added plquan
ey for both. Imagine, for example,
a blue serge coat and skirt: perfect
ly plain—and also, let us hope, per
fectlv cut—worn with a shirt blouse
of white lawn; as tine > a handker
chief. with a crepe do chine scarf..
also deeply but rather more brightly
blue, loosely knotted beneath the
polo collar, while for the rest it is
just as plain as a man’s shirt. But
because it is a woman’s—and a 1 .
dainty woman's at that— its filmy
semi-transparency is softened with

sertions of Valenciennes lace, and
its wide encircling banding, just oe-
D ®a’b the bust of soft roseate satin
ribbon with a high-looped bow tied
°. ver , l h° heart Or, perhaps, tn
stead of the ribbon, the little bodice
will be nothing but a softness of the
*aintly pink ninon and the ivory
w hite lace, the fastening being ar
ranged—and carefully hidden—at
the back so that the, front is left
free for the undisturbed adornment
of half a dozen tiny bows of folded
ninon. But both bodices will —if
you take my advice—be alike in the
one important respect of being made
with short kimono sleeves, inside
which the preservers can be at
tached so that, however filmy the
blouse itself may be. these neres-

The New French Fur Sets With Hats To Match
We have from Estelle Mershon of 20 East 46th Street, New York, those excl us
i\e novelties, the French Fur Sets that are being much talked about nowadays.
I hey are exquisite, truly Parisian. We would like you to see them.
Here is one set of blocked mole, it is an exact copy of a Paris model set. The
muff is large, loops up at the bottom and is caught with a mole covered buckle. Deep
shirrings of crepe chiffon edge the sides. Ihe neckpiece is a short stole showing
the same trimmings of crepe chiffon—the hat is a soft round turban.
Another set seems more of drapings of crinkled crepe de chine than of fur—
the muff is edged with bands of skunk, the center is of plaited and shirred crinkle
(.rope de chine, gray. It is lined with old blue satin, the neckpiece has tabs of the
gray crepe de chine, the hat is a little turban with an up-standing brim and soft
crown with a band of skunk and one old blue rose at the side. *
.A very attractive seal set is this one with muff edged with folds and puffs of
chiffon cloth, the neckpiece a high fluffy ruff with just a band of seal, the hat, a
small shape with tarn o shanter crown, trimmed with a cluster of roses shading from
American beauty to deep old rose.
And still another striking set, a hat and muff, is of chinchilla.
No one who see them wonder that they are so fashionable!

to the ribbon banding on the cor

troduced —with- delightful effect—on
the skirt just beneath the hips and

background, or else if white be used,
you can either have blue or pink—
whichever ;ou prefer.
As a matter of fact—and as prov

blouses are being made with the
