/ The growing prevalence Of tuckipg ss
an ornamentaton is very noticeable.
I Groups OF fine tucks may alternate with
4 wide or successive fine tucks may al
most tire the eyesight by a long drawn
out continuance. Plsin China silk or
null are especially adapted to this finish
and an imported dress Of the first named
material is tucked within foot of the
waist which shows a tucked yoke and
! sleeves For morning wear simple white
dresses are Of linen, nainsook or fine
cambria and although sometimes worn
with sashes, vet il IS easy to see that
sashes have had their best day and IN
less in such handsome style that they
cannot be relegated to a secondary po-
sition, are not liked so we'll as belts
fastened BY buckles. Some few tailor
made dresses of white linen have APP
peared and also princess costumes Of
white duck which recall the material
usei for gentlemen's vests White tai
Tor suits are sometimes worn over a shirt
front with masculine tie or chemisette
of shirred null
INDEPENDENT WAISTS
though not especially noticeable at tins
stylish resort have yet to some extent
forced their way and deserve mention
because of remarkable utility and
comfort. The greater number are in
blouse or shirt shape with tucks down
the back and front and are made of soft
silk, lawn. muslin or linen in patterns
too varied for mention, the majority
however showing stripes that are the
safer choice for plump figures while a
becoming abandon is impaired to thin
persons by thin silk waists showing
large circular spots in contrasting col
ors. In some waists the fEllness is
drawn in to the centre of the back and
front but others show the fullness dis
tlibuted evenly across and gathered in
al the shoulders and belt Some STYLES
display the gathers drawn in closely at
the back and front and spreading out in
fan shape towards the shoulders and
this is very popular. Close fitting
basques of material quite different from
the skirt have not lost favor and in an
outfit for this place recently prepared
by Lord & Taylor, there were three very
handsome independent waists. one of
yellow satin trimmed with black lace,
one of black lace and a third of hello
trop silk trimmed with rassementere.
ELEGANT GOWNS
not yet shown but which are being re-
served tor the latter part of July, show
some peculiar features. In one, the
trimming is an applique embroidery
made Of plush and silk crochet work on
crepe de chine, the flowers Of plush with
leaves and stalks in crochet with fine
chrochet work around the plush. A
trellis work OF plush in cross bars forms
a support on which embroidered flowers
Chamber and the work being done in
natural colors, one may imagine the
beautiful effects Fine bead work adds
il glitter and completes the unusual
picture. An equally elegant dress in
new shade Of green silk is garnitured by
velvet leaves in natural color, each leaf
covered separately by crepe and in pass
ing it may be remarked that the cover
ing Of leaves by crepe is a new feature
which appears also on fans with very
dressy result. some for evening being
made entirely of crepe covered leaves.
NET DRESSES
are beautifully relieved by tufted flowers
il latura colors and rival fine silk
mulIs stamped in floral patterns that
resemble hand painting. The combina-
ton of yellow with black net or lace is
much in vogue and may be accomplish
ed by yellow ribbons or gold braid or
passementerie. Other coIors on black
are also seen and colored ribbons placed
under net in stripes or vandykes are
very sty lish. Lucy CARTER.
