folded over with a deep slash in the
back. Over this the coat is of block
printed linen in a big cubist design.
More than half the women at the
Long Island, polo games, who did not
have on black costumes, wore these
gay .linen coat3 over skirts of either
black or white.
The smartest coat of this kind at
the Plaza the day Miss Dryden and
I were there was a. brown linen with
big splashy figures in tan and yellow.
It was a cut-a-way arid underneath
there was a golden-brown waist
With this was worn a light cream
skirt A brown poke bonnet with
brilliant red cherries and a stunning
jparasol of shaded brown lined with
cream completed the costume.
All the, skirts are slashed more or
less usually more and every wo
man is wearing low-cut shoes with
fancy silver or cut steel buckles.
Gray silk hose are worn more than
black with these shoes. Often a girl
with very slender ankles will weaf
white stockings, ana witn an all
black costume I must confess this
fad is rather startling.
You must carrya parasol this sum
mer and the more brilliant the bet
ter. Not in years have the summer
' hats been as small even the Pan
amas being no larger than those sold
to the men,
V You must let your waist out and.
araw your pompadour in.
Never since the introduction of
corsets have the waists of all women
been so large. There must be no
curve at the waist at all. And your
hair must follow absolutely the con
tour of your head.
"Above all else," concluded Miss
Dryden, "tell your readers to look
natural and explain to them that
LOOKING natural and BEING nat
ural are quite DIFFERENT! For wo
men MUST conform to the accepted
straight lines and healthy coloring
whether they have them or not."
"That is. all right," I answered, "if
one is slender aa you are, but what
are you going to no if you are as iat
as I?"
"I tell you what I'dd do I'll put us
BOTH m the pictureand every one
can see how the stout and the slender
woman looks in today's styles!"
And .sure enough she did, for up in
the corner of this illustration you will
see as they looked that day on Fifth
avenue Helen Dryden and Idah Mc
Glone Gibson! v
