That time has passed, I hope, forever. Personally, I do not sympathize with a demand for Purl- f orenoon uttoihiqb is a now lann, cot eriss coquetries of 'dress permissible In ths early hours as well as In the mora dressy periods of the day following. The deslr for becomlngness of attire expresses itself ia charmingly chlo though not too much trimmed bats. I have often said that tha gown is immaterial, or at least secondary, provided the hat and boots be Just right t have so said from the platform I think it was at the convention of the Biennial Feder ation of Women's Clubs In New York when I draped a tea gown on one of our models within sight of several hundred women delegates. One may wear a gown for six years, provided she (brings her hat and boots to date. A hat on this page Is a becoming forenoon frivolity. By the old standard tha large crowned, narrow-brimmed hat of dark color would have a stiff ribbon of the same color as decoration. Having- in mind becomtng nesii. the designer arranged that it should be trimmed with a light ribbon, the contrast giving a picturesque and more dreasy note to the wearer's morning street attlra. Tha same is true of the smart crush bat of straw worn with the early Spring suit shown on this page. The suit, by the way, la of gab nrdlno of a dark color. The skirt shows the loose, yet considerably narrower skirt "that succeed the excessively full one. The coat, of knee length, is long, straight and loose. Tha relief, the 'forenoon frivolity," as it- were, appears in the hat and la the turn-back collar and soft, bright colored silk tie worn with the otherwise too severe coat. The third costume has a more ornate ef fect. The coat la shorter and the skirt of the coat has a decided flare. The high, nar row belt is decorative. The turn-back collar is faced with embroidered silk of tha earn colors as tha border of tha parasol tha wearer carries with It In the lapel of the' coat is a flower of the same shade, domtnaV lne In the "relief."
