fastened on the shoulder by a bunch of flowers
is worn with evening dress. The little man.
ties for summer are of all sizes, from a
cOachman's collar to a small Mother Hubbard
cloak. The cheapest material for really
handsome underskirts is satin, which can be
bought in all the bright colors Short skirts
with draperies of great completely and single
breasted basques form the new suits of light
wooden goods. Flounces have their side
plaits arranged in clusters and caught dow o
at half their length and allowed to spread
open like fan. Printed silks having verv
small clouded figures on a gray ground are
the substitutes for the cheap brocades of las,
summer Skirt drapery is plated into the
belt instead of being fastened into the side
seams, and the effect aimed at is that of a
series of curves. 1t is not wise TO put hood
on garment that is expected TO outlast the
summer, for the hood has been used toe
much, and is going out of fashion. Some OF
the new mummy clothes have borderings and
powderings of daffodils. and are intended tc
be especially appropriate for spring costumes.
