favor.

"Women may well lie awake half
the night dreaming of $fc beauty
of the new ribbons.
The popular colors are the old
standard farovites varying a little
perhaps in tints.
Chiffon is playing its part as it
never played it before in all rela-
tion to the evening toilet.
Fashion is becoming sensible.
Neither tiny capotes nor extreme-
ly large hats are much worn.
The hair is still ornamented
but the fancy varieties of hairpins
have given way to a single hand-
some comb or large pin.
Fashions grow more pronounc-
ed and grotesque as the season
advances. The woman of fashion
is a study far more interesting
than algebra.
The ''between seasons'7 gownB
are always rather neutral in effect.
