THE WORLD

OF WOMEN

By Jaan Savoy

The girl in the sketch is doing more thon marking time while she waits. fler frock of brown durene tricot crepe. is interesting enough to warrant more than a second glance. Copper buttons add a shining touch, raglan sleeves broaden the shoulder line, and a white lingerie touch on the shouldora lends a distinc tive note. The seaming in the skirt takes the name line as the lapel.

With it is worn a-hat of the aume material, and browa kid shoes.

The same frock comes in any colour that is promenuding in the fashion parade. Wooden- buttons are used, if you prefer, instead of copper buttons.
