| Crossing the front are seven founces OF

The poonaise Is bnttoned diagonally,
and Is finished with vest, cuffs, ana edg-

a 6asoIe front. The side pieces extend
, into a drapery that falls low at the back

which is loOped on one side with nat DOW
Of ribbon. A wide sblrred piece placed
Ibeneath forms the heading on loose pun
ing that Is pressed into plaits; below a mar
row putting forms the heading OF an eur
broidered founce beneath TINS, surr0unu,
mo the skirt. are two knife-plaited
foi,uces. The embroidery outlines vest
on the BASQUE, forms trimming on
the sleeves. and wherever trimming can
be placed. ornamented with knots, bows,
and long loops OF blue satin ribbon. The
skirt OF an India null dress Is trimmed
across the front with seven lace founces;
| A panel on each side has similar trimming
of the lace laid fat the slight dropping OF
the back drapery is held in place by VIDE
white satin ribbons and long ends; there
are also long looped bows on the sides OF
the skirt. The sleeves, simply made, are
similarly trimmed with lace RULINGS at the
lower edge. The waist is
FULL AND BELTED
with white-satin ribbon, finished behind
with long-looped sashes and ends. A dell
cate French batiste takes the form OF po'
lonaise, with Watteau-back draped at the
sides and caught with long-looped bows
and ends OF pale wiId-rose satin ribbon;
the trimming on the edges OF the basque
front and back-in fact, wherever trim
ming is permitted-is OF the same material
embroidered IN open work with floss SIX
corresponding in color with the ribbon.
The front OF the skirt Is laid in nine up
turned plaits across, finished with inser-
| lions OF embroidery and a flounce; long,
loose putting is placed beneath, completed
with n narrow ruffie and wider flounce;
deeper puff finished the skirt at the bottom
with the addition Of the narrow rufile.
There are rose-colored ribbon bows ana
long ends on the sides, at the back, and on
the scanty rufiie of embroidery that forms
the cuff to the simple sleeve.
The fashion OF travelling dresses is TO
braid them closely all over the waist, and
to further ornament them with bits OF lea
ther and steel. A belt OF leather is buckled
at the point OF the peaked bodice and small
basdues are buckled behind. Thus, pretty
nearly the whole surface OF woman ira
weller is studded with decorative pat
terms in hard material. What is the con-
sequence! Why, on disrobing, after
days journey, during which the heat has
made her more plastic than usual, and Ia
tigue has caused her to press all sides In
turn on the seat of the car, she finds that
she Is
ELABORATELY EMBOSSED
from neck to knees. The appearance Is
unique. but of course she can't exhibit 1t,
and the operation really presents no adj
vantages to compensate for the soreness.
In the way Of what may be called curl
osities OF fashion are sleeveless jackets and
bOdices, open, square, or heart-shaped, ana
made of embroidered velvet, br0cade, or
of cros-graiu silk in pale blue, mauye, or
shrimp pink, haDd-painted and edged with
lace, will be very fashionably worn over
evening dresses OF white lace, embroid-
cred muslin. yelling, batiste, and other
light fabrics. There has suddenly deyel-
oped fancy for simple dresses OF plain
fabrics and single color, by way OF giving
variety TO the wardrobe, and prominent
among these costumes is the use Of
plain grenandine with gros-grain, as OPP
posed to the rich Figured grenadine
with satin. Pretty shOulder-capes for sum-
mer use, to be made of goods matching the
dress, Just cover the shoulders, come down
IN front TO the belt, and from the .hese
sash-ends are carried to the back and tied
or simply crossed. Girls with slender fig
ures are wearing long pelisses and redin-
pOtes, or rather coats OF masculine style,
dress being short enough TO show eIe-
gantly-worked stockings. A short JACKIE!
of somewhat finer stuff, cut by tailors,
with breast and side-pocaets, in ex-
act imitation of gentleman's pea
Jacket, completed by a high white collar,
fastened with pin, wide-awake trimmed
rs little as possible, and large checked
skirt takes the name OF "Allright cos
tune" Silk or lise-thread mitts or gloves
with long wrists are worn with summer
toilets. The preferred color at the mo-
ment ia yellow in the various shades OF
buff and old gold. Silk gloves are con-
sidered the correct wear for full dress
Isle thread for demi-to,let. White-kid
gloves are not essential for white toilets.
On the contrary, colored-sllk mitts
or black-lace mitts are In better taste.
Kid gloves are not much worn i'm sum-
mer Of late years. They are relegated TO
brides and full-dress ceremonlous dinner
or breakfast parties. Ii is as fashionable
as ever to bang the front hair. but the
bangs are shorter, showing more Of the
forehead, and are worn flatter on the fore
head and temples. Ii is matter left to the
| choice whether they are straight, curled, or
waved. Curled or waved, however, is the
more frequent style, and they are flattened
under an Invisible net when necessary.
The most fashionable arrangement for the
back hair is Il small, close knot, low in the
| nape OF the neck, but this Is not at all arbi-
trary.
FANS AND PARAsoLs
are, as usual, the summer establishment. |
A woman may carry in her hands far more
outlandish things than she would dare to |
put on her back. Let me tell you of one |
parasol out Of lot 1t was big, and made |
OF strawberry satin, trimmed to the depth |
OF twelve inches with three rows of bright |
gold lace. The ferule was surrounded |
