Pale Blue and Purple, Scarlet and
Sea Green-White Lace.
Flowered cambrics and white pique
are to be the things for morning waist
coats this summer. Very pretty they
both are, too, and nice change from
the floppy cotton blouse. People ought
always to realize that blouses want al
most as much fitting as dress bodices to
look well. An i'll fitting blouse is about
as annoying as anything one meets
with.
White wells seem to be largely affect
ed just now.
Tans and drabs are very popular
shades for afternoon gowns, as well as
for the river coat and skirt, and there
has just been brought out new kind
Of guipure trimming in tan which. over
a white satin yoke or vest, is decidedly
chic. Blue, too-in pale shades-looks
lovely with tan and with the deeper
tones of brown Pale blue and purple
are odd colors to put together and yet
when chosen with care, they harmonic
beautifully. 1 saw very striking pale
blue fancy straw hat of the three-cor-
nered shape, which was trimmed in
each corner with bunch of deep pur-
pie violets and black tulle
We shall certainly be trif1e sick OF
ecru lace before July comes, but at
present it is interesting to notice what
a craze there is for it. You see it on
well nigh every wrap, jacket, and
scarf, and a MORE coat without ecru
lace trimmings would be brilliant ex-
ception indeed; because this season
MORE and ecru lace seem to be abso-
lutely inseparable. You can't have
MORE without lace, nor lace without
MORE. l think I have told you that
Vandyke lace is very fashionable. The
new deep lace collars are pretty, es-
pecially on dark dresses. Black and
white is a favorite combination, and
white lace is being used for trimming
nearly all black gowns. A sweet con-
trast it is, too!-ladylike and yet re-
markable 1t is difficult to be both
| ladylike and remarkable in these days.
Black and white, and grey and white
mixtures have a charm all their own.
There are some nice old-fashioned
flowers in vogue on bonnets-for in
stance, verbena, gilly1owers, JACOB s
| ladders, sweet Williams. l saw a very
pretty Dutch bonnet of jet, decorated
with a few sprigs of verbena and a
MORE bow. AS the season advances
| tulIe will, to great extent, supplant
MORE ribbon. Already it is being used
pretty extensively for bows and ro-
settles, and very soft and effective 1t is.
"A bonnet OF cream viii d Wlue poW VI
| black net at the back, ln1 two punches
of black violets in front, was smart to
degree; so also was a white MORE
antique bonnet edged with jet. Some of
the Partisan models are copies or
! adaptations of the headgear worn by
the peasants of Brittany.
The other Sunday I Joined some OF
my friends who We're going the round
of the studios. OF course, I was mainly
interested in the frocks. They were
wonderful-really wonderful. One lady
who 1 am sure is a eight in her own
circle. wore a sea green dress-by the
way it looked like a morning gown to
the inartistic eye-looped up here and
there to show a scarlet underdress
trimmed with gold. The huge bishop
sleeves were also slashed with scarlet.
