As the season progresses, the favor
shown lace insertions whether on skirts
or corsages, becomes evident. From
5 five 70 seven rows aecording 10 width
and desired dresslness, are not too much
for skirt and while the corsage should
correspond In some degree, yet the great
freedom allowed atpresent In corsages
does not render obligatory any special
correspondence. Stylish afternoon and
lawn party dresses are made of ecru
nainsook embroidered In white or col
ors, the most popular patterns being
dots or small sprays and unusual dis
tinction is attached TO underdresses of
changeable taffeta with ribbons match
ing q shade In the silk. In harmony
with the caprice for putting thin and
thick material together, rows of velvet
ribbon are sometimes let In the over
skirts with belts and rosettes or floating
ends TO match, but gowns Of the char
acter just mentioned are more suitably
finished by lace insertions which are
likewise conspicuous In silks Of light
quality. Mulls over silk and with in
sertlon let In, are very fashionable.
C EMBROIDERY I ~
Is so prominent as sometimes to be
termed the leading garniture Of the day.
Cashmeres trimmed with applique en-
broideries are noticible at all dressy
afternoon gatherings and much is ac-
complished by gilt garnitures on pale
or light colors with certain proper
ton of white and gold. The latter COM
bination is particularly effective in
yachting costumes that were never
quite as tasteful as this'summer, owing
doubtless to the Increasing attention
given to the sport. For seaboard dresses,
white serge often takes the place of
cashmere because more likely to resist
the salt air and especially for yachting,
white braid comes as complement
to the gilt trimmings.
..... CoLoRED SHOES ..
introduced last season, have increased
in favor and fashionable ladies now
have an assortment to match dresses.
Certainly nothing can be more coquet-
tish than pink or red shoes when ap-
propriatelv worn and with hosiery to
match, while the prominence of both
white and black In dress, has caused an
era ofwhite and black combinations in
kid that look peculiar to the uninitiat-
ed. Undressed kid is the material
chosen for the white portion with pat
tent leather for the black and for color
ed shoes in general, undressed Gather
Cado Tan foot wear however as general
~ understood has not entirely had its
day, but ranks second now to later in
PRODUCTIONS and particularly to russell
and dark tan shades unlike what has
been In vogue. In shape, the low Ok
ford tie is chiefly seen and all dressy
styles have round-pointed toes and long |
vamps. Silver buckles, embroidery or |
braiding give finish.
SILVER
and silver mounted accessories are ex.
tremely popular and the latest conven-
1ence for keeping them at hand, is a
wide silver pin which insures safety to
bonbon box, vinaigrette, fan, pencil
and any other small article now held
in esteem. AS If all this were not
enough, there is rage for silver BAN
giles, no professed belle being willing to
wear less than seven at q time while |
the maximum of twenty is not very
uncommon. 1t may be supposed that
silver jewelry is In the ascendancy and
silver mounted umbrellas distance all
others.

fourth of white silk is trimmed with
silver and white silk embroidery.
White cloth jackets give completion.
