Scotch ginghams for midsummer
dresses are brought out at this early
season to be made up during the mod
iste's dull season. The colors fashion
able for cashmeres are repeated in these
simple cotton fabrics, and touch OF
black in stripes or bars is added to many
of the newest patterns. The blacK
stripes are of sateen, and look like lines
of genuine satin most effectively ar
ranged at intervals on an old-rose glng-
ham that is strewn with darker chine
flowers, or on sage green or pale blue Oh
the same design; or there are Irregular
lines of black marking gray-blue, pink,
or stem green stripes, or stripes that
alternate with white stripes; there are
also plaids of Suede and white with black
and rose sateen bars, or pink and gray
with black. green and gray with black,
and yellow with black and white cross
bars.
Bordered ginghams are so wide that
the width serves for the length of the
skirt. the border trimming the foot;
these have plain ground, with wide
Scotch plaid border, or else graduated
stripes of the new chine designs in
vines. Many light-colored ginghams
have chine flowers of darker shade,
amid narrow sateen stripes, while other
new ginghams have broad, chine-fgured
stripes alternating with white or light
plain stripes Bourette stripes with lace
like thin stripes are pretty, and the
rough bourett threads, sometimes in
black or in white, are strewn about at
intervals on otherwise plain ginghams.
Genuine tartan colors are seen in the
newest Scotch plaids in the dark blue
and green tartans so much worn in wool
en- goods, and the gay Stuart plalds OF
red, green and white. Fancy plalds
come in charming soft colOrs of mauve
with yellowish brown, of rose pink with
white and green; of gray-blue or porce-
lain or navy blue with ivory
white. Heliotrope, mauve, lavender,
yellow and green ginghams will be
as much worn as they were last year,
and there are many of the pretty half
inch stripes of three colors together, as
green. cream and old-rose, or gray,
brown and green. or lavender, violet and
brown, or pale blue, dark gray and clear
white. For children are the Scotch
plaids and the smaller crossbars and
fine stripes OF a color on white.
For trimming these ginghams are the
white embroidered muslins, used as
yokes, Spanish jackets, collars, cuffs,
and as insertions in the skirt of very
simply made gowns, with full waist,
slightly pointed in front, either straight
or pointed in the back, and with straight

by many. made precisely as they were
/ last summer but the modisteS advise
moderately large coat sleeves, or else
the mutton-leg sleeves, made without
too much fullness at the top. eros grain
ribbon of the most prominent color in
the bingham will be set diagonally on
the front of the bodice, and banded on
its pointed edge. Wide vandykes OF
white embroidery will be inserted
straight across the front of pointed
bodices of solid-colored ginghams, some
what in yoke fashion, or two narrower
rows of upturned points will be used,
the lower row passing just under the
armholes. and that above from sleeve to
sleeve. The fashion of fastening the
front of the bodice out of sight will be
continued in these cotton dresses, the
small buttons and loops being hidden
under embroidery down the middle OF
the front, or under epaulettes or Span
isb Jacket on the left side. The plaid
ginghams will be cut bias throughout,
and made with round belted waist
very slightly full at the belt arc quite
plain on the shoulders. High standing
collars of embroidery, and also turned
down collars, with cuffs to match on full
sleeves. will be worn with these waists
