particularly attracted the designers of

and not may all play their parts In ono

however, everything else must bo sub

Tho woman who Is clever at putting
together a number of trifles in the way
of unconsidered odds und ends of fab

low yoko of lace veiled with chiffon,
kimono slcovcs ot charmeuse, with
perhaps undcrsleeves of luco or net, a
high glrdlo of Persian or Byzantine
embroldory and a skirt of charmeuse
veiled with chiffon and banded with
velvet, and you havo a reclpo for a
truly chic gown.

Some persons believe that every wo

smart In appeuranco, hut from a high
authority comes the Information that
for overy woman who wants to be
i emart there are ten who want to bo
well dressed.
"To bo smart," ho says, "Is to go In
for all that Is newest and most ex
tromo. To be well dressed often means
to avoid theso things. The woman
who dresses well knows Just when and
to what extent to follow fashion and
when to assert her own Individuality.
She Is capable ot much greater dis
crimination than the woman who
achieves only smartness." . ,

gOME genius who has been too back

vonted a garter designed to act lis n
warning to tho wearer of the bobbin

a short length of elastic and by lt
