Not all women, however, can or should adopt this bouffant style. To my readers, aa to my clients, I would say "know thyself" before deciding to follow the dainty examples of the Dresden china shepherdesses. I have always preached individualism indi-vidualism in dress. It is painful to me to see whole flocks of women following a iad un reasoningly. Know your face, your figure, your coloring, even your very manners, before be-fore adopting any fashion in hats, gowns or wraps. The French are great believers in the Individual Indi-vidual fashion. It i3 In America and England the great ready-to-wear shops thrive Not In Paris. This Spring there are so many individual fads that may be adopted by the clever stu ' dent of fashion. The new veils, for instance, are well worth studying. The one shown in the picture I call tho highwayman's veil. The upper part is very much like the brigand's mask, and there is no doubt that the veil in its entirety forms a complete disguise. Only the woman with pronounced coloring and large eyc3 should adopt this veil. The woman of Indefinite coloring and vague features must content herself with the new fine mesh veils having large flat spots worked In the mesh. And then the neck! French women or the smart world devote 'much thought to their necks. They never have Tvorn the linen collar or the stiff, ugly stock, formerly the sign manual of the American woman. The afternoon after-noon frocks of this Spring are made collar-less; collar-less; frequently the narrow yoke Is also omitted. Generally a high-necked guimpe or tucker of fine net is also made to -wear with these collarlesa frocks, as milady choosos. The collars are supported with the most delicate deli-cate of silk-covered wire, that is frequently unnoticed by the casual observer. On the other hand, with the morning frock or tailored costume the neck should be elah. orately dreBsed this Spring. There are charming charm-ing effects for the woman with the thin neck and restraining effects for the woman with the fat neck and plump chin. Notice the three-tiered collar Bhown with the smart trotteur costume. This can be developed in fine laoe or net and is an admirable setting for the thin face and neck. Another very new idea for she of the Blen- FIG. 5.

This bow must be built of -'"x soft material, yet there must be body enough to make It stand out deflnantly. Ju M''. Net or mallnes are perhaps the most vr4yo?.J satisfactory fabrics. The bow must ho Z&K " fastened at the top of the stock, with the Jabot "fW$J:f': fastened at the lower end. The Jabot must be .'"VfeV f A- much shorter than those popular during :'::-;'ypS. -j M&JWJ,-' the Winter. The woman with the fat neck and face .

Heavy, restraining p'i&T$$mg&M6 laces are appropriate for the plump neck; the fine, soft laces for the thin. Will all women adopt the waistcoat? No. VJjn J4M$P The pannier and the chintr . waistcoat arc fashions that should be adopted by the S$ymW woman who thoroughly knows herself. They cWMm' are for the tall, slender woman who carries herself with tho grace of the long-stemmed -i X$k Illy. The waistcoat li so very smart that ' NA other -women will seriously attempt to make . ,j ...:. 1 it their own. But the woman with Individ- ' ' : ' . uallty will see her limitations and if at all I Inclined to embonpont will eBchew waistcoat and pannier and cling to her modification of the narrow, clinging fashions. Also, the woman who cannot afford a master modiste should avoid tho draped skirts. FIG. 4. A Lucile "Waistcoat" Suit, Showing the White and Purple Vest and the Man's Full-Dre6s Effect of the Coat.
