4 Fashion Camera's Designs for Summer Wear THE BUSINESS WOMAN AND HER SUMMER DRESS PROBLEM Speclal Latitude Id Dress Allowable In Hot Wt'Hliirr—The Tailored Suit the Ward robe's Keystone—That Eternal Shirt waist—Or What Substitute?—A Buslne-H Woman May Be Cool in a Dutch Neck Within Her Office—Dimity I'rurha for Hottest Days—Parasol and Hat Save the Business Uniform from Dull Monotony. MOST women have to consider economy more or less In the se lection of a season's wardrobe. With the business woman economy is the vital consideration. It stands forth a forbidding sentinel before the door way of her most wistful dress desires; yet in spite of Its everlasting vetoes must she be ever smart, correst and at tractive In appearance. Some women, moreover, may look presentable most of the time. From the moment she gets up in the morning until the end of the long day she must be spic and span; her coiffure perfect, her neckwear trim and tidy, no matter how suffocatingly hot the day, and every detail of her dress carefully correct.

Either English mohair or one of the hard twisted serges might be used for this smart little suit which has a practical, roomy coat with graceful Unei, and a skirt that escapes the ground.

The smart tailored suit with a dozen shirt waists which answer all needs in cold weather are entirely inadequate in summer, when— if only to keep up one's flapping spirits through the unbearable weather—one must have dainty changes of raiment in keeping with the pretty costumes worn by other women. The solid rock of every business woman's wardrobe—the keystone about which the whole structure Is built. Is the tailored coat and skirt suit; and in selecting this suit the business woman should keep in mind the motto that governs all her purchases of a sartorial nature, simplicity and good material. The flimsy suits offered at cheap prices in some shops where ready made cloth ing is sold are often smartly cut and very attractive in appearance to the little business girl who longs to be In the fashion and to be becomingly dressed, but it Is far better to put the money into a simple mannishly built suit of good material, unskimped in proportions and stitched with silk. Such a suit will be better lined than the fancy, equally cheap model, and will hold its lines as long as needed.

The hat Is of rough violet straw with a tulle crown, and the parasol is of deep violet with a border of printed Persian ribbon.
