The frocks that will appear in the daytime mode for this season will feature but few changes from the winter mode. Lines remain simple and such established styles as the bolero, bloused back, full front and other interesting modes remain de- eidedly present.

There are many ways of achieving this; the belted line at the waist by means of a single or double belt, tucks that faintly outline the waist, a wide and tightly fitted hip band and a frock cut in the familiar basque chupe being a few types.

WAITRESS HATS.
"Ten-Shop" Effect In New Mode.
A debutante-to-be of the spring, who is now making a preliminary excursion into Society "to see how things go." recently appeared at a luncheon party at a West-end re- staurant wearing an interesting hat modelled on the caps worn by the tenshop waitress.
Made in pearl grey petersham ribbon and black velvet, the "wait- ress" effect was so pronounced that most people paused to look again nt the wearer of this hat. The grey ribbon made the upstanding curved frill above the face, and came down "fringewise" over the forchend, the velvet band fitting snugly round the head.

BUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES
Start out by filling in the words of which you feel reasonably sure. These will give you clue to other words crossing them, and they in turn to still others. A letter belongs in each white space, words starting at the numbered iquares and running either horizontally or vertically or both.
