The New Modes in Odd Skirts and Blouses

I I ablo Judgirant ia my troua-

day, wbose wedding finery bad, Indeed, seemed to la

ctate everything that tut and beauty And comfort demands. "I bad gowua and eoata and tailored aoita and mora'la draaaaa and negligees and ail Uio rest of It Btrt In my rash young foolishness I absolutely tabooed any odd kirta or walsfci And would you befllere tt, my dew, bat there were scores land scores of times when I needed nothing n tbe world ao much aa just A senst-ste skirt and waist times

wben I dldnt rare to wear my anil, aklrt, bacauaa you know bow much mora quickly they begin to sbow algna of wear, anyhow, than the coats; times whin the little wash morulas idrew la too informal and the focUard frock too dressy, or when everything wlae In ooe'i wardrobe needs a stitch here or a frenh ruche there. Take ray advice and atkk to the odd aklrt and feloase like a si" There you are. There's no getting way from it, theae trig, practical, comfortable garments are here to atay apparently till the crack ' doom. So let'a aea what new Ideaa tbe shops are offering us this season for wear d urine spring and summer months. Perbapa there la Just one thine a woman wont do tone in fashion, and that la break her neck though. Indeed, some f them have almost hobbled away to join tbe angels) ao that on account of thla fussy notion of hers the newest MtlrtM are considerably wider about tbe bottom. Tbey are by no means voluminous, however, to yards kelnff the faTored width. They must bove all be cut on straight lines and allow the wenrer to preHent the narrow silhouette that la tho keynote of tbe present style. Into some of tbe aklrt are cleverly Introduced a couple of small pleats in tbe back or front panels or in tbe Ide gores which give added freedom of movement without In any way uffect1ng tbe style of the garment.

Many of tbe skirts are trimmed with wide folds of tbe same material put on four or five Inches from the bottom, nd some model abow a revival of tbe high waistband, with the waist line abont two Inches above tbe normal. For later wear the silk skirts will be much worn, but Just now the worsteds, serges, volte and panamas In black and blue, particularly, are In demand. Quite a few nobby styles are bown In grey mixtures, and the hairline stripes are also returning to favor. , Tbe veiled effect that were so universally employed for tbe winter blouse have been carried over for the spring, with only slight modifications in materials and styles. lighter weight

fabrics of course are desirable for the foundations of these dressy little

blouses, and silk mall, net and china Ilk, with chiffons, marquisettes, net.

or any of the transparent materials

for veiling them, make up most at

tiny undersleeres. One charming model Intended to be worn with a blue tailored suit was made In tbe popular nd becoming style with sleeve and

blouse In one. Over the foundation of white china silk was laid a flowered chlffoa with a white ground over which were scattered tiny nosegays in oft shades of brae and green and rose color. Over this again was chiffon matching tbe blue or tbe suit, which was also used to form narrow pleated frith) about tbe white lace collar and at the elbow above the narrow lace nderaleeve. In tha more elaborate

hl'Miata are Been rcver effects and many sailor collar dS7eiopmects enrried out Li eclorod chtSons coatrastlog with tbe waist material. Tho llcgerlo waists are filmy with lac! two, three, rs many as flveklnds cf lac ara sometime. used on a single model. Lawn, batlite. mnriutoette. and voile are the favored fabrics. The comfortable and youthful Iutch neck will be much seen this summer, vrhile the peaacnt sleeve, In three-quarter

length, takes precedence over all others. Pleating give a chic touch to the meml-tallored waists. These are often edged with narrow lace and outline the front or nide opening of the waist. One waist bad a frill of real lace tbat not only outlined the front closing, but followed the yoke outline on th left side from tbe shoulder to the middle front. Tbe tailored models show no rad

ical cbanfres. They are made usually

ivith pleats down the front and back.

and sometimes with broad pleats over

the shoulders. Invariably they have

lonjr sleeves with the straight, stiff cuffs, though now and then one pees a

soft turn-back cuff on some of the embroidered waists. Hand embroidering is in very good style. It may be most elaborate and carry out a variety ol designs on tbe collar, cuffs and front pleat, or it may be a simple scalloped finish for the side or front fastening.

O you remember those nwfel days when every woman In Christendom, from the debutante to the dowager, were her hair as near like

very other woman's aa her tortured 'Town of glory permitted? Rverybody was wearing pompadoura tbe fashionable woman would as soon have thought of adopting dress reform as parting her tresses : lo. in comes the

part, and the pompadour is seen no

nore. But nowadays, praise be. when the

woman of fashion visits the hair

dresser she is pretty sure to say to lim: "Oh, no. I don't cure to have

Itny hair nressea use inar or mai

r that. Why, everyrway is wearing, iheir hair that way!" And she usually departs with a coiffure that is Individual and becoming, because she has insisted that it emphasise hergood points and modify her poor ones. Besides ahf is quite a la mode, since that is practically the sole demand of present coiffure stylos individuality and becomlngness.

For those to whom the fluffy, some

what elaborate hair dress is suited the

Empress style is most bewitching,! with its suggestion of the picturesque

days of the last empire. Tbe front

hair is waved loosely, parted far to

the side and brocght low across the

forehead and ears to the back of the

aead. A flat braid is laid across the

cop of the head, wlioee ends are hid

den by tbe perfect shower of short

curls that cover the entire back cf

the head and hang In soft ringlets

over the ears, with two or three on

each side in front of the ears, close

to the face.

Invspite of our emancipation from

hard and fast coiffure fashions there

is one Kimon-says-thumbs-up iu prosant haird.-esslng that is widely fol

lowed. You may look and look, but vou won't see a sign of a feminine ear.

Sometimes j ist the pink tip of one is

risible, but "Cover up your ears" is the mandate, and covered they are,

with the hair simply fluffed down over them or loose puffs or curls quite cov

ering them. One simple, parted hairdress has the hair full and soft about the. face, vhile the ends of the thick braid which is worn low across the

back: of the head are twisted Into what we used to call "washer wo man" knots. right over each ear. The effect is very diarming and girlish. Tae wide braid worn across the back of the head, which may be worn tow In the neck or spread to the crown of tbe head is almost universally becoming. For evening wear clusters of. curls may be tucked into the strands," Just over the ears. This style of balr-

dressing Is very easy to attain if one

has what is called the ringlet braid :

a thick braid of fine hair, both endswf which are curhd into a dozen or ringlets that may . be clapped onto".
