DICTATES OF FASHION

Charming poke bonnets are fash' ioned of crepe or chiffon. Evening gowns generally have no sleeves, or very tiny ones. Jackets to correspond nicely with the full skirts should be short. Small flat bows of braid-like ribbon are seen on smart little hats. Bell sleeves and bishop sleeves are style innovations for waist fashions as' well as for gowns. Short skirts for day dresses and trained gowns for evening wear aye the last style specifications received. Old-fashioned checked silks in snuff colored browns, greens, blues and yellows and blacks are novelties in dull toned effects. Even though the high waist line will be fashionable, the normal line will be the controlling ppsltion for belt lines this season. The high collared waist with a shirred yoke and collar or organdie and bodice of mull or lawn is another vogue of much Interest.
