Individuality in dress has been cleverly introduced into this dress of white khaki-kool by the Pussy Willow design developed in gray and brown angora. And just think what a slendering effect the long stalks will have.

A dozen occasions arise every day, whether you are enjoying life in the Southland or tea and luncheon and dining in the North, when this frock of printed beige and navy blue Pussy Willow and navy blue Indestructible Voile answers the query, “What shall I wear?” in just the right way?

From Milady Beautiful, January 1919.

MORNING, NOON AND OUTDOORING COSTUMES

A—Panels of macrame lace have been used to “dress-up” a gown of white khaki-kool that may be worn for the first appearance of the day—and first appearances you should remember are always all-important. Here’s a hat that defies the sun and is made of the khaki-kool.

B—It’s ready to slip into at any hour of the daylight, this simple little frock of Dew-Kist in which Harry Collins has adapted the reverse side of the silk as a trimming. The hat, too, is of the Dew-Kist with hand painted fruits.

C-D—The “something new” in outdooring costumes this season promises to be the smock. Harry Collins has made it of white khaki-kool and has built around it a skirt and coat of black velvet, lining the coat in the khaki-kool and finishing it with a throw collar of the same silk.

SYLVIA TELL as “Carmen.” She is the youngest premiere danseuse in Opera, and although of French-Swiss parentage, is of American birth. From Milady Beautiful, January 1919.
