Many Of the coFselets fasten on the lef

has generally the same number Of seams
Is waist proper, but the fronts are drawn
smoothly over the lining and shaped by
a single seam down the middle. Bodies
Of this style are made Of almost every
sort Of summer fabric, snd they are
equally effective In pink silk or pink
chambrAy, In satin brocade or zephyr ging'
ham, in velvet. yelling or iaille.
A large number Of women will be In
Ierested in the light surah Sunshades in
silver gray and iawn, which match the
silk dust-cloAks for country driving or
walking. Fishing dresses begin to be
exhibited, but Il seldoms happens that
the woman who knows enough about
fishing to catch anything wears one Of
them. Nevertheless pale brown home

pale blue and white check the materials,

Sith q smart jacket turned back with
rivets.
In addition to the many bright colored

place OF the serviceable black lace costume
and these come in dotted serpentine
stripes and brocaded ribbon effects.
they must be made up over cOlored silk
of changeable tints. Jet, gold GALLON
and jeweled passementerie and lace form
the decorations which are confined exclu-
sively to the bodices. The most popular
mode in these dresses Is the ruund bodice
gathered over tight lining, high pulled
sleeves and having flOunces Of lace about
the straight, long skirt. A vest Of white
yuipure, laid over gold colored silk and
,IOtted with jet eAbAchOns or q waistcOat Of
gold brocade makes a striking finish for
some Of the more ambitious CONNECTIONS
in the procession. With these dainty
costumes may be carried black crepe de

Of French lace and having French lace
butterflies appliqued in each corner.
There's good deal Of color in the new
shirt blouses. and black and yellow stripes
seem to be favorite combination. Both
blonde and brunette fancy they look well
in such q mingling Of darkness and
brightness, though II an impartial verdict
were rendered scarlet and cream, dark
blue and cream, pale blue and ecru and
black and cream are more generally
becoming. White lawn blouses, deli
cately embroidered, are worn either inside
or outside the skirt, and are varied by
pink, cardinal, gray and sky-blue cambria

Charmingly rough and ready about the
toss Of curly hair, . couple Of red checks,

hardly to match these; but. oil let the
summer girl be wise. There are few
whose toss Of curly hair does not owe its
