her printed cotton skirt. must look
with amuement on. the fashionable
American and European woman
whose costume ‘conslsts at such a.
long. long list of little things. It
would be pleasant. wouldn‘t it, to
have a complete costume so simple
as here. yet the possession, the buy—
ing and the collecting of all these
trifling little details, no one of which
is absolutely essential, does give
most women a very real thrill. To
go through the shops and are all
these pretty trifles—the bags and
handkerchiefs and courts, collars and
culls. belts. fancy umbrellas. cal“
rings. slipper buckles. tans. artificial
flowers—is enough to make the
woman with a small dress allowance
have a. sigh. It is not so hard to
persuade yourself that you cannot
afford a cloth of gold evening wrap
or a new broadtail coat or a velvet
afternoon ensemble or a chiffon bro-
cade evening frock. Those are ob
vlously luxuries out of your sphere.
But these little things. none of
which costs so much as to be abso-
lutely prohibitive—they are the
things that it is hard to resist.
‘ And of course. no matter if your
dress allowance is fairly limited.
some of these new accessories you
ought to have. and if rightly bought
they will prove to be profitable in-
vestments.
When They Are Economics
Fashions in accessories seem to
change more frequently ihun in the
larger items of the wardrobe. So it
is wise not to be torchnnrlml in buy-
ing these geegawn—«what you buy
today. Wear today or tomorrow—-
don't buy now what you think you
will wear next. .lunnury. It is quite
often possible to brim: tho sem-
blance of real npvto-datencm to a
last year's frock or suit or coat
simply by wearing with it Just the
right sort of new-tangled acces‘
series.
A woman I know says that the
best way to economize is to keep
away from the shops—because then
she is not tempted to buy the little
things-she gets along with just the
essentials. Perhaps this is economy
——-hut perhaps it is not. The woman
whobuys accessories wisely ottr-n
finds in them the means to true
economy.
,A collsrand cuff set or set con-
sisting of collar and lantern-shaped
underslecves may be used to bring a
last year’s frock right up to date.

France are made of gold leather

lower part of the little pouch is
trimmed with artificial flowers or
perhaps with some sort of fancy cut
from the metal leather.

it will be just the thing for the

sleeves Are Important
These roller and curt“ sets and col-
lar and lantern sleeve sets are im-
portant this season. for short sleeves
seem to be quite out of the picture—v
and a. daytime frock without long
sleeves seems at once to be dated as
belons'ln: to a previous season. And
then too with just the right sort
of handbag and scarf a last season's
suit may be given an air of smart-
nese that makes you willing to wear
it for another winter.
Evening accessories are as im-
portant as ever. Fans. slipper heels
and buckles. evening bus. seer-fa.

feather ornaments to be attached to
the shoulder or at the hip—these are .

How Flowers Are Used
Artificial flowers are perhaps not
no often seen in the lepels or on
the revere of women's coats as last
season, but that is no reason to
think that the vogue for artificial
flowers as little dress accessories has
waned. They are worn at the hip

its durability and senviceability are
the two things that perhaps make it
