The woman who is a blessing in heraelf and humanity at large during these buBtllng days of over-crowded thoroughfares, is the one who comeB into the fray snslbly garbed, chooe ing durable material In color and tex ture and designed on thoroughly prae tcal lines. I In holiday crowds we figd even intelligent in-telligent Momen most incongruously gowned and those who give no heed to the matter, objects of ridicule. Best street clothes should not be . paraded, even though one travels lux urlously in a taxi or llmousiue. for jn elevators and crowded Bhop aisles especially in bad weather, are sure to leave their impress. Another side of the quegtlon of i Lb. practical garb Is the cut of tbe shop n. ping skirt When conforming to the narrow width of the smart mode, rv a woman is not only hindered in her progress, but puts her life in Jeopardy j. when going in and out of cars, cross Ing streets and going up and down stairs.

When you are makins a jacket and want to fit it on a stand, even If the stand is made to your measure don't forget to put a fully trimmer bodice on tho stand before you put the Jacket on it, for, of course, the jacket should bo fitted so that it can bo worn over any bodice without be ing tight; many amateurs fit their Jackets on the stand forgetting to put the bodice on first The same may be said about winter bodices, that are to be worn over thick vests or slip bodices, if thick underclothing la to be worn, It should be put on the stand before the bodice is fitted. |
