STUDY “STYLE” OF THE HAND
Of More importance to the General!
Effect Than Most Women Seem
to Recognize.
Among the numerous small items
which make up the sum total of a
good or bad effect, as far as matters
of dress are concerned, there is one
in particular that many women en-
tirely overlook; that is, the “style” of
their hands.
Now there is something very defi-
nite about the hand. It is so full of
personality, so closely connected with
the individual characteristics of its
owner, that those who are wise real-
ize it requires setting off to advan-
tage just as much as the face and
figure, and therefore its special attri-
butes must be studied, and the sleeves
and cuffs worn made to harmonize.
Long, slender hands look their best
set off with dainty white ruffles or
falling chiffon frills, while hands that
are squarely made and of a workman-
like and capable appearance look out
of place amid soft lace, the plain
sleeve and turn-back cuff suiting them
far better.
There are people who should never
on any account wear short or three-
quarter length sleeves, and yet how
often one notices the entire effect of
a gown spoiled by carelessness in this
respect!
Some people, again, suffer from bad
circulation, resulting in red and un-
sightly hands—a defect that is very
hard to cure—and this redness is em-
phasized by white ruffles and cuffs,
but will not appear to nearly such a
disadvantage if black or dark frills
are worn.
Hands are always an interesting
study, and it is a pity that in these
busy days they are not often accord-
ed the care and attention bestowed
on them when our grandmothers were
young, and whit© and shapely hands
were considered a very important
part of a woman’s beauty.
Though manicure and constant mas-
sage and such like take up more time
than the average woman can daily in-
'dulge in, she can always see that her
hands are suitably becuffed, a detail
the importance of which, once stud-
ied, she will quickly realize.
TURN TO THE RIBBON MODEL
Plateau Hat Suffering From Overpop-
uiarity, and Is Gradually Being
» Discarded.
Like all fashions easy to copy, the
plateau hat is already suffering from
overpopularity. In those districts
where cheapness is essential the little
milliner is turning out plateau hats in
the poorest quality of straw, it is true,
and with the most impossible flowers
at a few dollars each. As the death
knell of the plateau hat has thus been
rung, the more exclusive houses are
turning their attention to the ribbon
model, a hat which needs the master
hand to drape its graceful crown and
brim.
From France the new ribbon hats
are arriving, their plaited crowns of
rich moire, adorned with fantastic yet
beautiful bows, being arranged in the
most artistic colors and in the most
intricate manner.
One model made entirely of blue
moire ribbon about an inch wide has a
four-cornered brim edged with an up-
standing fold of gold lace, and loops of
the ribbon are perched gracefully on
the crown.
SLIP FOR THE BABY’S PILLOW
Dainty Carriage Convenience May Be
Made With Two Handerchiefs and
a Little Lace.
The baby which is taken out for a
daily airing in its carriage needs sev-
eral slips for the carriage pillow. A
covering that is dainty enough for any
baby can be made of two handker-
chiefs and a few yards of Valenciennes
lace. If one is skilled in embroidery
the word “Baby” may be embroidered
on one section of the pillow.
One handkerchief should he cut in
two to form the ends of the pillow and
the remaining handkerchief should be
used for the center section. Measure
the sides of the handkerchief in order
to find out just how many yards of j
lace will be needed. The edge can be
finished with lace. *
Writing Cases. j
Useful, indeed, for the traveler is j
one of the writing cases of colored mo-'
rocco. Aside from the blotting pad, j
firmly held in place by the triangular
leather corners, there are four gus-
seted pockets for stationery and
a stamp pocket. A bone-handled pen-
cil is fitted into a leather loop holder,
and there is an extra loop for a fourn
tain pen. The case is provided with
a handle, so that it is easily carried,
and it also has a lock and key.
Variety for Afternoon Wear.
There are two types of afternoon
gowns this summer, the more simple
kind of sprigged Dolly Varden mate-
rials, frilly to a degree, and the after-
noon dance frhek, which is of more
pretentious fabrics.
