aeiiarate waists In Uru of a $15 onepiece dree*, or a dres* waist worn with a sqll may be snbsUtuted for an evening drew* or a winter coat may be worn for three seasons, or an evening dress for three or four year*. In view of the range of choice. It appears that a woman may reasonably be expected to secure outside clothing for a good appearance at an expenditure of from

$70 to $75.

"A* regards articles of dress other than outside clothing, the necessary expenditure" would be distributed roughly s* follows: Hats, $10 to $15; shin s. $12 to $17: Cloves. $2JJ0 to $5; mocking*. $3 lo $7; roreels, $2 m $.'1; underwear. $5 to $10; end mlsccllunrous, approximately $10. Allowing for Individual variation In prices and choice, thl* mi-on* an annual ex|»endlture of fn.31 $50 lo $00 for the*.- trtides, wlib U us a rule have to be re-

placed each year.

Combining theee two amounts—outside clothing $70 10 $75. and other article* of dress $50 to $00—the total yearly expenditure would rang* from glin to $135, averaging approximately,

aay. $125."

True, these are wage-earning women, lbe story point* out; but It add* that they are n* wel! dressed us the itninrniM- majority of women who have

no more, and often not as the vBge-cnrner to *]

than other fabrics for

those frocks.

Chiffon Itself has taken a second or third place, and dyed lace ts pushed forward as a substitute. Even cream lace la revived for entire frocks, but U does not Lave tha preatige of gray or brown. Both these colors or* draped over tulle or antln in the eame or a contrasting color. The odd feature about this revival of an old, old style of fastening Is that the exclusive tailor* have applied It to c-oatt. In tliat touch we get something novel. Jackets of peltry are fashioned in this manner, and there are combinations of velour* and soft fur that are put together like a cuirass blouse, in a very loose fashion, lo go with skirts of the cloth, but they runas coats and not blouses. Heavy furs sre worn that give sufficient protection In the open. And this verdict for peltry placed on peltry pleases tbe public. Home women look like pack-mule* with an overload.
