The year is half gone. We are now on the down grade for 1909. Tuesday was the last day of June, and when July commences the year 1908 is over the hill and on the dow’n grade toward another turn of Father Time’s hour glass. Now is the time to think a trifle about next December, while the Fourth of July is fresh in mind. That “bargain day” proposition is a trifle better than firecrackers.

Too many shirt waists cannot spoil one’s wardrobe, though they may spoil one for wearing other kinds of costumes. The ease with which they are put on, their trim look and the becoming lines of the new models endear them to the hearts of all women. In linen, and specially In silk, the severe shirt waist has a host of admirers, who are gradually but surely being drawn away from the softer lingerie fashions for morning wear. Striped effects are the favorites for tailor waists. These are shown in such a variety of colors and widths of stripes in washable silks that every taste and every type of woman can find a pattern to suit and become her.
