Some people, as we all know, do not arrive at very satisfactory results. They are the ones who wear extreme styles in @ fervent desire that is not rea- soned with judement; but others, fortunate und envied, are always able to strike a happy chord of pleasing expression. Fashion's offerings are not meant for one and all alike, and therefore it is only you to blame if you do not mirror your personality successfully. Now take for instance the Russian boots which have appeared coyly over spring's horizon! Every girl could not wear them. ‘They require a de- bonair manner, a lithesome form, to be carried well, and then they really are chic. I suw a Miss on the ave- nue the other day wearing a pair in tan suede trimmed with black patent leather, which were so perfectly * guited to the type of the wearer, that they were not in the least conspicu- ous. A tan striped sport skirt, a tan embroidered silk sport hat, and a green sport jacket completed the out- fit Green, by the the “ latest Sport color, in that soft tone between olive and emerald, with a bit of gray in it.

With this hat is pictured a sleeve less blouse of gray, duvetyn suppl mented with a sheer white guimpe Mimosa yellow duvetyn tied with black moire strings at the neck would be ve effective with any white skirt. Another suggestion would be individual and smart would be dark foulard coin-spotted with white for the blouse, with sheer white sleeves.
