idea ol' green; many of these clothes
are still good and 4ith some renew

this way much worry, care and an-1
noyance Is lost and one Is not always
fretting for fear that their outfit will
be a bodge podge; for If all providings
have been bought with the remem
brance that they must harmonize or
contrast with green and brown and
these peculiar shades of green and
brown, there will be little chance for
crudeness. .
The tailored suit of last season was
a covert suiting In olive green and

became practically a new gown for

waists of the tailored type made of

These shirt waists were made more
decorative by the addition of embroid

turned-over or stock variety show*

embroideries. Plain white belts or -a

The shoes and stockings, and spats

nearly matched the gown color. The

a wreath of foliage and over the left
side flowed a green feather.
