NEW YORK, June Would you ever be-
| lieve that you look 80 pretty in gingham9
You bought that dress just because it was
30 cheap you couldn't resist It and then you
also bought little white embroidery to go
with it, and you had it made up very simple
and quietly. And lol when you put il on
yod discovered that you looked so pretty
and girlish and cool and summary, and all
those other delightful adjectives that
are always applied to the favor.
ite girl in books. but which you never
seemed to be able to make applicable to your
| own case. and you were 80 pleased
with the dress that you wore it on
every suitable occasion; in fact, some
| times on an occasion when it
wasn't quite suitable, because you knew
| that somebody liked you in that dress, and
that somebody's eyes would express admira-
| ton or commentator when you appeared
in it. And then made up your mind that
that after all you must be pretty or attract
i've in some way, or you couldn't possibly
| look SO charming in this gown, and having
| arrived at this conclusion, you Immediately
| set to work planning very elaborate cos
| tune in which you expect to conquer all
the inhabitants of your own little world.
| You studied all the details, every possible ef-
| feet, harmony of colors, combinations of
materials, ct al. and then awaited the
| result with entire and undisturbed con-
| fidence. But alas the result was not what
| you had so confidently expected. For some
| reason the exquisite details didn't blend
| into one harmonious whole, and that dress
was the greatest disappointment Of your
life.
And 1t happens that way so often. The
| dresses we make up with little care turn
out, many a time. to be 80 much prettier
than those we expend SO much anxious
i thought upon.
We are beginning to regard with loving
eyes. these warm days, the fimsiest aud COOL
est dresses and Of all cool aud sheer ma
terials let me recommend the new dotted
Swisses. l saw a number of very dainty
ones to-day. One had very pale pink
ground and the dots were small and unob
trusive; the pattern running over it was of
their colors, they had all turned a
dark, pinky brown. 1t was a very
rich shade and blended well with the
| pink ground. Then l saw one with very
pale blue ground, and very dark blue vine
pattern; and another with a clear white
ground. and china blue pattern; and
soft brown on pale buff, and some more
pretty, every one Of them, and as the sun
beat down warm upon me, thought how
nice 1t would feel 20 be clad in one of them.
And then looked up and saw a girl in
lavender was also examining the Swiss.
Her dress was all in the one shade and the
material was of the new orinkled kind, like
the old seersuckers, only a very much
| lighter and thinner material. 1t was made
with plain skirt and small train. The
waist was very long and perfectly plain in
the back, except that below the
waist line it was cut ND into deep
tabs. These tabs came around as far
as the hips, and then the waist was
cut Off short In front. The stripe on the
yoke that was fitted into IL ran in an op-
posite direction from the rest of the gown,
and the bodice was cut round at the top and
confined at the waist by very wide belt
of the same material, fastened with velvet
buttons. Her gloves were lavender and her
hat was all straw-oolored, as well as her
parasol. ... t. ..ss
There was another girl with her, and 1
think they must have known they
would 60 ont together and,
therefore, selected their colors, &C.
cordingly, as two girls that l know of
always do. For they looked wonderfully
we'll side by side. The second girls color
was a clear golden fawn and set off the
lavender splendidly. Her dress was made
to give a very modest and unassumtng eff
feet The skirt was just trife full, and 50
was the long blouse that fell over 1t within
two feet or less of the bottom. The bodice
was fitted in tight to the figure and had a
broad white MORE ribbon for belt, tied In
a large butterfly bow. A deep frill ran all
the way around the plain white yoke that
was fitted into the dress both back and
front. The sleeves were pulled round, and
her gloves came over them.
| Although lace is noe seen so much on
dresses as formerly. 1t is still very popular
for fancy bodices, yokes and small evening
capes. A very pretty evening bodice is
made Of pale yellow china silk and entirely
covered with fine quality of guipure point.
Another is tucked into fine folds at the
waist, and has large round yoke OF lace
over. An exceedingly pretty cape is made
of cream chiffon, embroidered all around
he edge in deep lace points There are
also two fine strips of lace on the shoulders
that run down into points. The high COL
lar is lace also, and two small blue bows on
each shoulder look very dainty with the
soft chiffon folds. 1t is tied underneath at
the waist with more blue ribbon, and is just
the thing to throw over one on a soft moon
lit night when one goes out for a stroll
under the stars. No one could possibly
help looking bewitching under such cir
cumstances
Then there's the new lace yoke to put
over a waist that you want to freshen up
for n certain occasion. 1t is very effective
in black point d'esprit, that is covered with
tiny silk dots in light and bright colors. 1t
is made very long in front and very short
on the shoulders and has high collar.
The latest thing in collars is the Carmen
cita. 1t is made Of gauze, or crepe, or tulle
anything sheer and Highland is COM
posed of three rows Of the material, finely
plated on a foundation. Each row of
plating is edged with a narrow feather
trimming; it narrows off at the back of the

loops and ends
The boas, made of fine lace. that fall quite
to the ground, are very handsome and are
quite a sufficient trimming in themselves
for any gown. They're cool. too. and look
very imposing. EVA A. SCHUBERT.
