stripe of light fawn, with a zig-zagiraised
line of the same covering it. 1t was all
cotton, no silk thread in it at all. and was
extremely cool aud inviting-looking. The
Normandie plating is just like the fine
tucks in wool. 1t was originally striped
material, and every other one OF the scy1pe1
was taken up and tucked, 30 that all the
tucks are one shade and the ground bs~
tween another.
Fine French organizes are always pretty,
and are not expensive-from 80 to IS cents
yard Is their cost. Mousseline de pInde is
fine and pretty, comes in all sorts Of designs,
and costs only about 30 cents yard. 10
can be had In dots and figures and In stripes
and flowers
There ia nothing particularly new in chal-
lies, except In designs. The BLACK ground
promises to be quite favorlte again this
season. Last year 10 was done to death,
and positively wearisome. IL has so many
advantages over the light ground. however,
that there will probably be as much of it
again this season. Bedford cords are to be
had ia cotton also, but they don't look so
soft and pretty as in wool.
But now that we've looked into the mat
ter of materials. let's make up our minds
about the cut OF our new gowns / think
this one would DO pretty for a Normandie
plating The back is cut a la princess-the
tuck in the material running up and down
and IL is brought around on the hips in
few small folds over the front, the front be-
ing laid on diagonally This runs up above
the waist line but is concealed by tight
fitting corsage that comes over it, and
which tapers to a point at the waist and
buttons down the front The tuck here runs
up and down again. The sleeves run the
same, except an over puff, which is put on
dlsgonally, and connected with the sleeve
proper by buttons. The collar is straight
and standing
Here's a pretty and light summer COS
tune: The waist is tight-fiitting and is cut
In a deep V in front. Then the V is ell
filled In with fine lacs, and at the join of
the lace and the material two narrow velvet
ribbon bands are laid, ornamented at shout
ders and front with velvet rosettes. The
sleeves are cut open way down, too, and
filed In with big lace puff, and here the
velvet ribbon comes into play In exactly the
same way, and the rosette adorns the cuff.
The skirt is draped just a little, caught at
the side by another rosette. At the bottom
of the skirt lie two more bands of velvet,
with rosattes at either end. Above it lie
two more, only shorter, ornamented in the
same fashion; aud above this two more,
shorter still. 1t IL wonderfully effective.
like this one, also, don't you? The skirt
is long and plain, except that the panels ab
the side are edged from top to bottom with
little ruffling of crepe de chine. This
edges the bottom also, starting from one
panel and going around the back to the
other panel. The waist is a blouse of crepe
de chine, aud has an overpelerins of the
same material as the dress. also edged with
the ruffling. AS the ruffiling goes up the
front Of the pelerinei 1t widens gradually and
forms a high standing collar at ths back of
the neck. The pelerine reaches down to the
waist at the back, but in the trout is only
half so long. The fronts are fastened to the
blouse by big velvet buttons, and there is a
button at the top OF each panel, on the hip.
The sleeves are OF crepe de chine, full, with
tight cuffs. EVA A. SCHUBERT.
