J$-Ljbi'P , v-""; --tj By Lady Duff-Gordon ('LUCILE") THERE was a time when a morning costume, cos-tume, for either home or street, meant severe simplicity. That time has passed, I 'hope, forever. Personally, I do not sympathize with a demand for Puritanic Puri-tanic unbecomingness of attire at any hour : iof the day or night "Forenoon frivolities" is a new term, covering cov-ering coquetries of dress permissible In the early hours as well as In the more dressy periods of the day following. The desire for becomlngness cf attire expresses Itself In charmingly chic though not too much trimmed hats. I have often said that the gown is immaterial, or at least secondary, provided the hat and boots be just right. I ' have so said from the platform I think it was at the convention of the Biennial Federation Feder-ation of Women's Clubs in New York when I draped a teagown on one of our models within sight of several hundred women delegates. One may wear a gown for six years, provided she Ibrings her hat and boots to date. A hat on this page is a becoming forenoon frivolity. By the old standard the large-crowned, large-crowned, narrow-brimmed hat of dark color would have a stiff ribbon o--the same color as decoration. Having in mind becomlngness. becomlng-ness. the designer arranged that It should be trimmed with a light ribbon, the contrast giving a picturesque and more dressy note to the wearer's morning street attire. The same is true of the smart crush hat of straw worn with the early Spring suit shown on this page. The suit, by the way, is of gabardine gab-ardine of a dark color. The skirt shows the loose, yet considerably narrower skirt that will succeed the excessively full one. The coat, of knee length, is long, straight and loose. The relief, the ''forenoon frivolity," as it were, appears in the hat and in the turn-back collar and soft, bright colored silk tie worn with the otherwise too severe coat. The third costume has a more ornate effect. ef-fect. The coat is shorter and the skirt of the coat has p. decided flare. The high, narrow nar-row belts decorative. The turn-back collar is faced with embroidered silk of the same colors as the border of the parasol the wearer carrios with it. In the lapel of the Coat is a flower of the same shade, dominating dominat-ing in the "relief." X X '.---'XX's XXxX- v CwrUbt. lt17, bj th Star Corapanj.
