pretty devices that are recognized as blazers,
cutaway jackets. and dartless bodices. These
all are the rage this summer, together with
natty shirt fronts and fancy blouses with waist
coats to accompany them, and are made OF
every sort of material. Some of white silk are
diagonslly, into most striking and graceful
forms, all of which are very chic and novel.
Others are thorn stitched, silk-embr oidered,
laid in soft folds, and crossed in front over
deeply pointed neck piece or plastron, made OF
some particularly rich and elegant material.
Less expensive blouses and shirts are M ade OF
cream-white Charlotte and other sheer woods
which can be cleaned when soiled. These have q
deep pleat Just in front fastened with sh irt
studs, with tucks each side of the pleat. Striped
and polka-dotted washing silks also make SER
viceable and pretty blouse fronts and waist
coats; The stiffy starched English shirt, with
shield-shaped bosom, made of plain or fancy
percale, is supplemented by a four-in- b and
scarf, belt and buckle, or a soft Turkish or
tennis scarf at the waist.
word or two as to neat and easy way to
make up the pretty cottons, that were never SO
pretty as now, and thus close this article which
has already reached its bounds.
A gown Of French cottons in ginghams,
batiste or chasnbray is in the one-piece style,
the bodice opening low at the throat over
chemisette and deep Byron collar of tucked
briar- stitched nainsook. The front breadth is
shirred OF pleated on each shoulder, and opens
in the center, to button below the waist line.
This breadth continues in the skirt-hem and is
held to the figure by pointed belt coming from
the sides and widened at the back into corselet
which relieves the fulness at the back of the
waist. The corselet and skirt-hem are finished
with narrow decoration of briar- stitching like
that upon the chemisette and collar. Three
straight full breadths forming the sides and
back of the skirt gathered with standing
fri the edge of the corselet, or else the join
ing is covered by narrow briar-stitched band
and sometimes faille ribbon or black velvet rib
bon is used. The full sleeves are gathered TO
wristbands which frequently button up the back
to the elbow. Small white pearl buttons are
generally used for the wristband and large ones
for the bodice.
NOTES.
The tendency to snowy hower-laden hats is
so great as to tax milliners to supply the de-
mand.
The newest s'woven wind'' tissue is of pale
yellow silk, shot with gold and takes the name
Of Sunbeam gauze.'
The embroidered nainsook gown is as much in
demand this summer as last for girl graduates
and commencement wear.
The latest device Of fashion is that ladies shall
discard pins and brooches of all kinds,
TO wear instead at the throat soft rosette
of bright silk.
Very pretty American calico frocks for plaza
and house wear are made up with large
cuffs and collars, guimpes and waistcoats of
white pique, duck or butchers linen or ecru
canvass.

loose front OF cream surah trimmed with
oriental embroidery. With this is worn smart
little cap of velvet; ribbon and embroidery to
match.
a new COJJOn dress IaDrlC, CASHMERE Twill, Is
made to initiate wool cloth. The grounds OF

gray silk, opened worked white embroidery for
a yoke ana guimpe, and dark gray velvet bands,
belt, collar and ribbons to deepen the tone.
Large quantities of deep blue and bright red
American calicoes are sold for mountain and
seaside dresses. The figuring on these bright
and dark grounds are dots, sprigs, cross. bars,
keys and Greek crosses in white. Then the
trimmings are white braid, and sometimes the
cuffs. collars, belt and pockets are of white

Perhaps the very prettiest and most becoming
thing that dame fashion has presented so far
an addition 10 summer wardrobes is the lace
blouse, or as some call it, the lace shirt. These
shirts quite loose in front. have voluminous
sleeves and q three-inch frill about the throat.
Among the small beautifers of this season are
the tea jackets. They are made of every kind OF
material almost; and with fancy sleeves and col
lar. beribboned and belaced, they are very COM

silk, trimmed in black lace, is pretty with
black skirt; one OF black velvet, beaded with
gold, sleeveless and trimmed with fringe, is
worn to the theater.
