Little Accessories That Tone Up the Street Dress

It is the part of wisdom to make the most of the many passing fads in little accessories of dress that come and go every few weeks. They vary the monotony of the “day in and day out” tailored suits which it is convenient for the busy woman of the day to live in. Given one good tailored gown, plain, and in dark color, the resourceful maid or matron manages to ring all sorts of changes in her appearance by means of different blouses and dress accessories. Neckwear, millinery and girdles are the means by which she makes simply a background of her unobtrusive suit. “ These are especially important to the business girl or woman who may not give much time to dress. By means of them she manages a toilette suitable to the case dinner or the theater or afternoon tea or any of the pleasures for which a little gayety in attire Is needed. „ - In the picture shown, a pretty neck ruff in white, plaited chiffon with ties of black velvet ribbon, is in keeping with a MMli turban developed also In black and whiter Worn with a thin crepe blouse, in any of the fashionable light colors, this ruff and torban make an outfit not to be surpassed

for style or good taste. The blouse has three-quarter-length sleeves to which wide lace cuffs are added by way of a charming touch of elegance for the occasion. But when the revels are ended, the donning of the eoat, dark, plain and trim, tones down the costume to the level of the quiet required for street wear. One-piece frocks worn under long and comfortably warm topcoats, will help make it easy to dress for a day that requires variety in the toilette without allowing time for changes. But they are only rivals of the welltailored suit, which cannot be outdone in usefulness or style. JULIA BOTTQMLEY.
