EVEN THE DUSTERS.

ating our Grandmother's style we have overlooked her meticulous choice of corset. This care was well depicted in a film recently shown at a local cinema where the belles af the story were arrayed in the old-fashioned crinoline, and so perfectly corseted that they must not only have given infinite thought to the set of the spacious crinoline. but also have studied with equal A RUSSIAN INSPIRATION.

A SPOT IN THE SUN.

Primrose yellow is always good for a young complexion. Even dur- ing the day It is a good spring acheme. Caps in antelope and suede are dyed to this pale yellow. There are woollen coats of primrose to go over white Riviera frocks. In sunny climates, too, large hats and strawa resembling fabrles, and, in some instances, paper looking like straw, are yellow with hyacinth blue velvet ribbons. A touch of black in ribbon or painted edge Is also attractive.

Stitchery is sufficient trimming' for, many of the new spring caps and berets. It suggests bands, and to a brimmed hat rows wider on one side then the other give a certain amount of "expression" without the need for drastic cutting Light and dark threads also aid the charm of much of the new, millin- ery.
