Dainty Dresses
Of Cool Linen
SMART SUMMER GIRLS ARE
CLOTHED IN FLAX.
Sage, Cream, Ecru and Brown
Linens With Needlwork
Are the Vogue.

New York, June 29.-Summer dress, as
seen on the highways and by-ways OF
fashion. makes on the subjective mind
the following impressions: Unless you
have at least one linen gown, or linen
accessories with which 10 smarter up a
plain stuff frock, you are not in ii at
all this summer.
The accessories, which are usually in
the shape OF vast spreading collars and
neat turnover cuffs, at times with
front" accompaniment, look simple, but
are not always SO.
The gowns are both plain and dressy,
serious and frivolous, but the severe
tailorlooking rig in pale brown linen,
that is almost as heavy as duck-on the
smooth, dark woman-is the one we most
want
Finally one concludes that though the
chiffon gin has so lately died and been
laid in her slender tomb, new being,
who might be called the linen girl, has
taken her place.
In time The linen gin, too. viii pass

SLANDEROUS INVITATIONS.
Alas, that there is no law to prohibit
the running OF a good thing in the ground!
No sooner is a desirable mode achieved
than il is done 10 death by slanderous
limitations, made TO expire by the very
movements meant to promote il. Linen
being the textile of the hour. linen gowns,
linen COllars, linen cuffs and linen fronts
may be picked on every tree. Not a fine
lady passes you, not a stylish shop girl,
but she is in some way lineniZed.

A COACHING TOILET.
A linen grenadine in pale ecru had trim
mings of white embroideries, and stock
collar and belt of corn flower blue velvet;
and the hat worn with this scostume-whfch
first appeared coaching day on top of
drag-was big, turban shape, with aroIled
brim of coarse yellow straw and a crown
Of bluet flowers. 1t came down almost to
the tips of the wearers pink ears. and over
it was worn a loose veil in black net, with
an applqued border, that made the lady
look as if she had just stepped out of an
old-fashion plate.
The linen grcnadine gowns that didn't go
TO the coaching parade, but that are, never
theless charming, are here pictured.
The costume with the dots is of pale
brown and white, with trimmin gs of yellow
Valenciennues edging; lining, golden brown
taffeta silk.
The second toilet is of pale cream, over
salmon silk and is one of the linen girls
hotel-piazZa and dance frocks. Though
crisp, the grenadine is as delicate as veil
ing. and fine stitching ornaments the front
of the blouse, body and skirt; belt and sash
ends salmon taffeta ribbon.

TO extend over TO the arm. With the
cream tinted batistes, fichu effects too,
are sometimes seen, and on more than one

gathered through the middle that was also
worn at the Louis XVI period.
One wonderful gown had a collar that
ravished all beholders. The frock itself
