his speech at Bloomington. Ill, two
days later, that he had made the as

the report published in the Chicago

Popular Dress Materials. Stylish Drsperies
and Lovely Dress BOnnets.
The servicea6le lightweight Shet-
land tweeds and Irish hOmeSpun StuffS
woven by hand from undyed wool are
the best of their kind. Nothing can
be more appropriate or suitable for q
travelling dress or utility gown for the
beach during the changeable summer
and early autumn months, and they
wear so well that their original cost is
very soon repaid. A good quality Of
English serge is also an excellent
standby" and gowns made of any Of
these materials are extremely simple in
style. A plain round skirt, long
drapery finished with deep hem, and
bodice in tailor style, with bit Of
silk passementerie trimming the fronts,
collar and sleeves.
Draperies continue long, and in ar
rangement appear simple, but this
very simplicity requires Z skilled hand
Dress collars are far less high, some
going to the other extreme, and on
many new bodices end where the high
military collar formerly began, and tho
line of the throat is left uncovered. A
full Stuart frill of rich, wide lace falls
over the edge of the corsage. 1t seems
almost needless to add the caution that
this style of bodice is only becoming to
women who have round, white, and
well-shaped thrOats-a charm sufIi-
GENTLY rare. after the twenties are past,
to warrant this hint. But even if pos
sessing pretty throat, the style Is
more suitable for young girls. How
ever, maturer women need not hide
this Gift OF nature under the high Off
GERS collar. for Medici collars that are
high in the back and open slightly in
front, falling back from the neck, are
admirable for revealing pretty one to
advantage, and as they may be lined,
color, a great aid to the complexion, is
thus at disposal.
Dress bonnets are now really nothing
more than dainty headdresses- a bit Of
crowning finish to the tOilet-so small
have they become. Hats. on the con-
trary, are spreading, the orlHlS "luer,
the crowns constantly growing lower.
White tulle is used with a lavish hand
On summer hats. and hazel nuts, green
acorns, and trails OF hops are very
fashionably worn. Bonnets of natural
flowers are increasing, worn at we'd
dings and garden parties, and these are
charming. One composed Of pale pink

black velvet was very elegant Flower
bonnets are invariably worn without
strings, and carnations, four o'clocks,

blossoms are chosen for these, for the
reason that they are not so ephemeral
