little more than dollar. Gathered yoke
pieces, in wash silk cost less than this.
The dotted Swiss fronts are fresh and
lovely, finished with gathered collar, and
u full Swisslbow at the front of the neck.
An entire bodice of this material is the
most delightful thing imaginable on
warm day, and makes those about you
even cooler than you feel yourself. One
of them, worn with a crisp, mohair skirt,
and belted in with one of the dainty white
MORE belts, is a neat and faultless toilet.
The belts have beautiful silver and en-
amel clasps. One silver buckle is a large.
slightly curved circle, with an edge of
the same metal, wrought in q beautiful
lace design another is of delicate pearl,
overlaid with wrought silver work in one
corner a turquoise blue enamel is very
tempting altogether covered with fill
gree of silver.
The bodice it encircles is prettiest made
surplice fashion, with the plain fichu
effect softened by two narrow ruifies that
trim each front. Below the moire belt
falls rather scant ruttie of Swiss.
But If the Swiss is too simple, chiffon
waist is quite as cool and much dressier.
These are gathered quite fully, from
neck to waist Then an extra bib is
shirred into the neck, falling square and
loose, and edged just across the bust with
! deep fiounce of creamy lace The
sleeves are QOuOle pUuS. 4n6Se are 68-
quisite in the pale shades.
The mohairs, which have come to be so
popular for travelling and outing pur-
poses, are seeking wider fields Of useful
ness. We find them in company with
delicate velvets and laces, with passe-
menteries and Jets Particularly is this
true of the whites and pearl grays, where
| soft greens and black velvets are com
bined with good effect. Handsome call
I inc and raPaprInn costumes made of
/ this durable material that holds its own
SO easily. A particularly striking one is
of white with black velvet trimmings,
! combined with a blouse of white silk.
| For visiting and yachting gowns,
the fashion runs TO the heavy
linens, preferably in dark blue.
/ These have full French blouses beneath
their short jackets, and make durable
and satisfactory costumes. The jacket
does not reach the waist at the back, but
permits little of the blouse TO peep out.
| The skirts fit nearly and closely in front
with regulation full backs
A neat coat basque is illustrated for
those who prefer to show no more than a
small yoke, in place of the entire front
which the short open blazer or jacket dis
plays. Such a coat has very large revers
over each sleeve, meeting at the bust.
From there the right side of the coat is
carried across to the left, and visibly
fastened at the waist line by n single
large button, although it is held in place
above by invisible hooks Below, the
skirt of the basque falls almost plain in
front but at the back the ubiquitous rip
pie is seen in all its glory, These reach
TO almost three-quarters length, and are
particularly convenient for hastY Jour
neys, when few changes of toilet can be
taken. Two or three shirt fronts, and a
dressier front for occasions, are SUM-
cient.
A neat tennis suit shows q skirt that is
gracefully caught up at the left, and
trimmed with three tiny rows Of braid.
The skirt beneath has the same trimming.
A stiff shirt is buttoned down the front,
and verp short figaro, with very large
revers falls over. The revers are cut
open over the shoulders and continue at
the back in a deep collar. The jacket is
trimmed with the braid. The puff of the
sleeve terminates az the elbows.
A croquet or garden costumes softer
and more girlish, has a simple gathered
skirt, dark blue, that is trimmed with
two rows Of coarse insertions. The
blouse is quite plain, cut away in a small
square at the neck and a deep bib Of
lace, not full, is laid over. The lace Is
round at the shoulders, but falls in "a
pointed scallop in front The belt is narrow
and the sleeve puffs are large. The
prettiest part Of this costume is the
