simply as combination of color, and
we must regard the wearers as animated
blossoms and admire them accordingly.
Rich purple is combined with blue, beefs
blood red laid on over old rose, green on
blue, and SO on. Almost anything goes
in the way Of color.
In making up the ever lovely zephyrs,
ginghams and washable goods the laun-
dering of them should be taken into con-
sideration, and each gown should be
made so that it will not have to be
ripped and remade every time it is
cleaned. Surplice waists are. very pretty
and graceful, but do not wash well at
all, so that the plain spencer gathered at
the belt is the best model.
The Spanish founce is a very pretty
and handy style. There is but one
founce, and that comes just to the knee
and is gathered on with a heading.
Three founces, a double skirt or several
narrow ruffles are all suitable for wash
dresses, but unless one has plenty Of
servants the palmer the make the bet
ter. 1t is easy to make So gown cost
$12 or SIS in a season if sent to laun-
dry.
saw a novelty the other day for a
summer gown, and it was exquisite as
well. The gown was of soft null over
tarlatan and made with a baby waist,
with black lace frill around the neck.
There was guimpe, and the sleeves
were Of black chanti1ly without lining.
| The skirt was covered with another skirt
of black chantilly founcing. Around
tho waist and on the shoulders were rib
bons Of coquelicot velvet, with stream
ing ends. The ribbons were to be re-
placed with those of another color when
ever preferred. The lace-over the null
took new and soft effect that was sim
ply exquisite.
Just now when warm weather is ap-
preaching the linen collar and cuffs are
making their appearance. They are
round, and the collars will turn down
and the cuffs upward. They look ''aw-
fully cute" one young lady said. Ger
tainly they look neat, and neatness is al
ways great beauty Among the s'odds
md ends" | noticed quite variety of
black and white knit silk mitts with
half fingers. They are pretty, and white
hand looks like snowflake between the
meshes. And remarked that handker-
chiefs are much larger than before, with
scalloped edges in sheer muslins and
lawns, and some of them have embroid-
cry in the corners. Those that are hem
stitched have very narrow hem. All
are white.
In hosiery are silk plated stockings in
blacks and whites, for white stockings
will be much worn this season with the
Oxford ties and slippers. These cost
about so to 75 cents per pair and look as
well, feel as soft and wear much better
than all silk. l notice number of fine
stockings in lilac. tan and several other
popular colors, some Of them having
sprays Of embroidery in natural colors
or pretty, fancy clocks reaching quite
high up.
But the millinery--how very beauti-
full some of the hats and bonnets are
despair Oh making any one understand.
There seems no limit to age or condi-
ton. A matron bought large fiat,
brown straw hat with an enormous
brown alsatian bow in front standing
out like great wings, and up between
them was a thorny rose branch, which
ended in two large American beauty
roses, one outstanding and the other
Irooping at the back over the hair. Two
hats that fell to two lovely girls were
most beautiful. each after its kind.
! One was Of dove colored chip with a
mass of bows made Of iridescent dove
colored silk, and growing" amongit was
q spray of white mistletoe with its waxy
berries and green leaves.
The other was dark purple satin
straw, bent and twisted and covered
with wilderness Of striped ribbon,
grass and grains, out of which grew
white velvet poppies. Every hat is q
work of art, and an idea is carried out
