PALE yellowish pink shades are much
used in fine millinery and for neck rib

The fancy for midsummer pokes is to
dispense with strings, but, if these are
used at all, they are placed very far back
under the crown, In order to make the
front flare sufficiently.

mer. Some of the models are richly
adorned with both lace and embroidery.

presented in the execution of these white
dresses.
BLUE with brown is fashionable con-
trast of colors in imported dresses. A
pale blue foulard, with dark brown
figures, trimmed with bows of brown
velvet, is one of the prettiest of the
season.
VERY young girls now tie the hair
which they draw away from the forehead
and temples very high upon the crown
of their heads, fastening it there with a
bright satin ribbon. These flowing
locks are then left to fall with the back
hair In wavy shower over their should
ers.
"ALLEGRA" pelisse is trimmed with
pleated ruffies, and when made in ecru
pongee silk the effect is exceedingly
pleasing. Among the artistic new
models for seaside wear, none will re-
ceive greater praise than the "Waldeck"
overskirt, style suited to all kinds of
materials.

with blue braiding, sailor collar of blue
cloth, with cuffs to match-a unique
and handsome style.

cactus-lace straw, the brim being Gov
cred with passementerie of white pearl
beads. The crown is covered with broad
fat loops of cream-white satin ribbon.

surah, and the strings, which tie at the
left side, are of white satin, lined with
lilac.
MANY of the new gimps, olives, cor
delieres, and frogs, now stylishly worn

trasting shades of color, and thus fur
