HAT AND TIE SETS EN SUITE

Accessories That Add Immensely to the Effect of the Most Simple " Costumes. If you are a pretty girl, filled with the ambition to be always smartly garbed and have not an overplus of money, you can help out your wardrobe wonderfully by means of hat and tie sets. First of all, provide yourself with one of the new small frames of turban or bonnet shape—whichever most becomes you—and cover it with taupe or black velvet as either of those tones will Record, with any shade which you Tpaydesire to put with them. Then make several bands of precisely the length to fit about the crown of the hat and hook them under bows of broad ribbon. The band may be of fur, of feathers, of a single long plume, of embroidered net or velvet or of silk or worsted flowers, but it should fit tbe crown aa perfactly that it can be whisked off in a minute’s time and- replaced with another of a different sort Matching neckties are made of the same materials, but in two ways. A favorite model consists of a band twice the width of the one fitting the hat, and secured under the left ear with a long-ended and Short-looped bow of reversible ribbon velvet Another model consists of a wide band shaped precisely like a stock. This, closing in the back, fits the throat closely, and is trimmed with a fourinch wide plaited frill of ribbon or taffeta matching the bow of the hat band. ■
