combinations for both street and even

gray. stone and drap, take the place Of
kids for summer wear.

little neckeichiefs Of Swiss muslin, COW

there, and everywhere, that bow can
be placed.
Black velvet bands are again worn
at the throat and on the arm, and are
very pretty with dresses cut low at the
neck and with the short elbow sleeves.
Suits Of white bunting are trimmed
with bright plaid and twist of cardinal
and gold colored ribbon. Muslin
shirrings, divided by insertions Of Swiss
embroidery, are used for deep collars
on these and other summer costumes.
-Changeable ribbons are the novelty

wide ribbons arc in demand. Brocaded
and watered ribbons matching the dress,
and others striped in Roman, Scotch
and Pompadour colors are used. Belts
are fastened around the waist and hang
down in one long fat loop and two
