New Look

Business Girl "Uniform”

By ALICE ALDEN

If there is one girl of distinction, crisp, pretty, dainty yet efficient in costume and manner, it is the business girl. For her, Adele Simpson has designed what she terms is a uniform, and a very effective get-up it is too. Sheer black crepe is used for the simple dress with its circular sldrt, to which is added a big bow and coloured plaid taffeta potti- cont to match.
