To Look Smart Requires Time

There seems to be the atmos phere of the Russian steppes about this smart and original costume. The white chalk tunic is interest- ingly not off by black gloves, sash and Russian style hat. The neck- line is extremely simple and the sleeves are loosely draped.

Loops have been introduced, -cer-| tainly, so that, there is no need for the train to be caught up in-al bunchy mass, but few women seem to remember that the loop should be held in the position in which it is placed on the skirt, and not drag- ged to the front or the back.

A Who's Who For Women Only

A SIGN OF SPRINGTIME

The second annual issue of the Women's Who's Who has recently been published. It ranks among those things which, the moment they appear, seem, so inevitable that one can hardly believe they have not always been with in our horizon. Quite obviously there ought to be a Women's Who's Who, That a Who's Who should appear was the general opinion when the father Who's Who did appear. It is only surprising that the Wo- men's Who's has waited so long.

Its precessor, the English-wo- man's Year Book, was extremely useful. The war killed it, and men have been heard to say that they miss its admirable condensation of everything that women could do, and the spheres in which they are dding. However, peace be to its ashes, and hail to its successori
