THERE was a time -when a morning eosv
, tume. for cither home or ' street,
meant severe simplicity. 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."
