What the Shops Are Showing in Skirts and Blouses

liflkl appearance on alL occasion!.

I tne otner aay tuvuigeu ww I of the reasons that undoubt

edly contributes not a little to her trim neatness. "I always," said she, "try to have iwo skirts for wear with my tailor suit. Tou know how much more quickly, the skirt begins to show signs of wear than the coat Well, if I hare my suit made, 1 get the tailor to make me an extra skirt, as plain as possible ; If I buy a suit ready made I match the material as nearly as possible, and have an odd skirt made up, or even sometimes make it myself. Then when I come ante the house I slip off the regular suit skirt, slip into my odd skirt and thus keep my suit reasonably fresh looking without the constant pressing which Is usually necessary." A good suggestion this for the woman who Intends to get an odd skirthare It match, as nearly as you can, your street suit, and the waist which will go with one will do quite, s well with the other also. ". V r The skirts, whllo straight and, narrow, are moderate and graceful incut. Probably slashed effects; over Inserted panels are more strongly featured than other styles. Skirts which simulate the tunic mode, especially, those with the side closing, are much seen. Models combining the slightly raised waist line with front and back panel effects are good. One very simple twopiece aklrt showed the back width lapped over with the front, at the left side, and fastened with three bone buttons at waist and hem. Buttons are used very freely for trimming, often in a solid nine from the waist line to the bottom of the skirt. One trig white serge skirt had the overlapping front caught down for It entire length with large pearl buttons. Never has the evening blouse, nor those designed for wear with the street suit, offered such a golden opportunity

to the home dressmaker for the utilisation of odd bits of lace, chiffon, velvet' or silk. There are the sleeveless overblouses of chiffon, which Just cover the seam of the armhole of the lining, and have their own armhole cut out very deep, suggesting thus the present sleeve tendency. This- deep armhole will be a- strong feature on many of the spring and summer waists. Then there are the one-sided effects

which permit .- the use of strips

pointed effects of lace. A plum color chiffon bodice, designed to wear with a suit of the same shade, was In surplice style, with a band of beautiful Venise lace extending across one shoulder. Odd litfle revers of plum color velvet were placed just at the base of the high standing collar of net. The lingerie blouses for the season show not the slightest introduction of color." They are made up largely from batistes, net, crepes, linen, and French

voile, and are most profusely trimmed with lace. Venise filet, cluny and Irish laces and their imitations have the preference, which are charmingly combined with motifs of embroidery. The sleeves of these blouses show no fullness, most of them being set into the waist, and of three-quarter length. Not a few models have dainty ruffles of either the material or of lace Just at the elbow, which are indescribably pretty above a pretty arm. .

wig maker heaved a sigh profound that the puffs

he was combing lovingly fluttered to the floor.

"It's the small hats," he

made moan, "the small hats that will ruin me! No more puffs, no more curls, no more nothing!" And verily did he speak truth, for while elaborate coiffures may be seen

j by night, the plainer styles, classic in ! their simplicity, prevail overwhelmincly by day. Women have discovered i that It is not a safe proceeding to 1 twist their wisp of hair into a tight little button, pull their smart little toques down about their ears, ami sally forth trusting to luck that the occasion' will not require their removal. So they have adopted simple methods of hairdressing, which while permitting perfect fit of the small hat; does not betray Nature's parsimony. Thus the coiled effects, arranged close to the head, have had a continuous) popularity, and in several new forms will be much seen this season.

There Is a strong tendency, however, to dress the hair quite a bit higher on the head, and with the high coiffure in view the wig makers should chirk

op, because It will no doubt mean

return of fluffier hair fash tana. Just now the classic Psyche knot Is much in evidence. A study should be made of the profile to determine at Just what height the Psyche should be worn, for no style of hairdressing so emphasises the tilt of one's nose and the set of one's chin. To dress the hair in this manner, part off the front of the hair as for a pompadour and comb forward. This may be waved or not as suits the face. The remainder of the hair is then combed hack and tied at the base of the crown of the head. Just above the nape of the neck. A foundation, or rat, la then pinned across the back of the head. Now divide the back hair into three strands, rolling the middle strand into a big puff, which 'should be pinned lengthwise and so as to cover the cen

ter part of the foundation. The two dilutes neat natural

remaining strands may now be twisted together lightly and colled about the puff. The ends of the front portion of hair should be twisted Into a tight coil and then tucked under the coils

about the knot.

.The French twist not the hard, tight, slick affair of twenty years ago, but a soft, fluffy roll of hair extendlng from the crown of the bead to the nape of the neck the French twist la especially attractive when the ' front : hair la partejd and "rolled up 'away from .the neck. The woman who has had trouble la concealing the stiff -pointed top of her switch and the unyielding sterna, will be glad to know of two comparatively new ways in which the switch la made up. One is simply .not wade op at at all. it la Just a .wavy plait with, soft curls at either end,. which may. be manipulated In : any nmabsr ef. ways. The other method Is to taateaj the hair to a flat soft rtns, wsksv'
