S3 VERY 'woman ought to real. I lie how little the mere put I B ting on of clothes has to do l with being what we term "well dressed." Painstaking care ol the hair the hands and the feet, the correct choice cf gloves, shoes um brellas and Jewelry an these demand de-mand far more time and thought than the donning of a dress and hat and t are quite as Important I have always preached Individuality Individual-ity hi clothes, but this does not mean that once having found a suitable Jtyle you must cling to it to the ex elusion of all others for the rest of If A Pork P1 f& Hat of Velvet, with Sew Three Faust Feath 335 ers Its Smartness Is Heightened by the ' Noth ingto-It Nose Veil the Tiny Cheek Curls and the Checkered dollar of Ermine and Seal your life By all means no This Is what you should do Study the fash ion changes as they come and go and adapt the new lines to yourself or if necessary and possible adapt your self to them Just now the hair is undergoing some important changes Us once adosable clusters of curls have disappeared disap-peared and in place of them the hair is brushed back clean away from the temples dipping Just a trifle over the ears and piling up rather high at the back in a small single roll. Some of my friends think this way of dressing the hair makes the face hard 1 think how ever that it does quite nicely tor any face with character end per eonallty even if without partlcu larly fine features But the beet plan is for each woman to try this new mode and see tor herself how it becomes be-comes her To show you what the new hair dressing looks like I give you here today to-day two examples of it one with a bat and one with a gala headdress The hat is what I call a "pork pie" of velvet, with three handsome Faust feathers You will notice how much its smartness Is heightened by the tiny "nothing to-it" nose veil and also the minute cheek curls which are the only hair in evidence No one 1 think could possibly call this young woman s appearance either hard or unfemlnlne The checkerboard collar of ermine and seal-Is an extremely new note in furs If one does not wish so striking an effect, taupe and ermine or taupe and seail can be combined in the same way The other head shows the hair pulled well back on one side and held down by a diamond band which fol lows a diagonal line across the top ot the head The hair is allowed to fall softly but not flat on the opposite oppo-site side where it is drawn way back and the dressing covered with a large wing of burnt ostrich- As this wing s principal value is Its line it must be most carefully handled And now for a suit so military in Its aspect that it almost makes you hear the cannon 3 roar the rattle of drums and the tramp of marching feet The Idea for this came to me while driving In Hyde Park and seeing our. brave terrors as we call the Bng lisb territorial troops drilling They looked so businesslike and practical that I thought it a pretty compliment to them to adapt their uniform for a coat and skirt The model shown Is of khaki with collar tie cap and gloves in keeping but It will look equally well In ser,ge Another interesting costume is in serge with a long Jersey bodice and full upper skirt bordered with silver fox The sleeves are tight and have the oddest fox tops The hat Is of black beaver with oh such a won derfully long fine paradise queue de cheval Still another phase of upto-date fashion which is interesting to smart women whatever their Winter plans Aodfery Warlike 1 Suits' of Khaki. 1 i' ..I., 1 .1 1 ( UMUL ) ?

One little creation of black panne which flts closely and cosily down on the head and has a dlmlnu Hve brim upturning at the left side and curving closely down over the other ear Is made smart enough for any occasion and costume by a bor derlng of orange-hued plumage and a queer little side ornament formed by the same soft textured and brll llantly toned breast feathers And yet, with it all it remains eo simple that with the addition of a long chlf fon veil It can be worn for travel ling or motoring while It also has possibilities for skating and other eports A Charming Head dre's in Which Lucile Has Effec , , tively Combined a Handsome Diamond , Band and a Large L Wing of Burnt U Ostrich. y A New Lucile Model in Serge and Silver I Fox The Hat Is of Blatk Beaver with a Paradise Plume of Wonderful Length and Fines I r |
