Walstlines are indeed capricious, for while some reach aspiring heights, others startle with thelr length. A few staid and sober ones insist on being normal, Of girdles there are a-plenty. If one would have the swathing kind —and one surely will—remember that it begins at the normal waistline and is draped to give the effect of a long, slender waist, Sleeves, always a law unto selves, are long and tight at times, agaln only three-quarters. Some are draped and some are “bells;” some are banded with fur and some with heavy material. Though the straight line is still much liked, ive col- lars of fur will un- mistakably new.

The home milliner can remedy both those things by re- placing the stiffened side of the crown with a softer material like satin an- tique, which is ever so modish for hats just now, or with velvet, Usunl- ly It Is advisable to use the old “1d” of the crown for a stay.
