This season the girdle is higher than ever. Indeed, it suggests the girdles of the middle ages, and short and long waisted women will have to wear the wide girdle to be in fashion. To be sure, the wide girdle can have ends crossed and then | brought down in lines that carry the eyes below the waist line, thus in- ! creasing the seeming height of the wearer. This is a trick that it would ! be well to master. It allows the use | of this favorite accessory and permits the wearer to retain her height. Some new girdles have a curved-up line. This is a trying one and should be viewed from all points before in- corporation in your gown.

The vogue for the Reman stripe is still as Silks, ribbons. chiffons, nets and woolen fabrics are striped in many colors and used for . the girdles of all types of gowns. ZAUTY IN CORSAGE FLOWER‘ Artificial Bouquets Give Just the Right | Effect to Afternoon or Evening Costume. set, SRR S S NI T Rl AN e Mee Probably never before have artificial ' flowers had such a vogue as they have just now. And a small corsage flower , is one of the best means of giving' color to a dark street frock or suit. | There are bunches of tiny flowers in | brilliant red that are very good. There | are bouquets consisting of a rosebud, ! a few forget-me-nots and a sprig or |} two of green that are good. Then | there are zinnias, nasturtiums, popples| i and many other flowers in their own| natural rich coloring. The placing of the flower is mtherl s important. It can be placed on the left shoulder with good effect. It looks |§ well at the closing of a ruff or a close collar of velvet and fur. Of course, the flower on an evening frock is usually part of the frock. That it to say, it is placed in position when the frock is made. However, a frock that needs a little refreshing can be brightened up with a new flow- er, and one of the newest places to put it is about half way down the back. | IN FASHIONABLE GRE—-EI\I-BLUE| Taillored Suit, Exclusively American, May Challenge Comparison With Anything Parisian.
