Here are the "Don'ts" suggested by a reference to my fashion hote- book after seeing the new modes for the season.
A black tailored cost and skirt went with a white pique waistcoat and black Jet buttons. An olive- green coat and skirt was put with a chemisette in natural shantung and a webbing belt striped green,. white, red, and yellow fastened with gut buckle. Low-heeled shoes are worn with these tailored clothes. Black, suede, soft brown kid, black chevreau are usual, They are cut and trimmed in different ways. The hats are extraordinary. time wear.

Flat curls were arranged diagonally with a jewelled comb near the ears set a the 'Bame slant as the curls.
