Some Of the summer dresses of thin
| material suggest the Dolly Warden
OF glaring memories. Spots and
stripes, high colors and staring com
binations are noticeable in the illus.
trations one gets from Paris and NAV
occasionally see in shops that cater to
non-conservative ideas in dress. A
dress of striped silk, with large, bright
| figures scattered over the stripes, is
made with ten-inch founce OH a
plain gored skirt. A band of fancy
GALLON, two inches wide, trims the
upper edge Of the founce Below the
soft belt, which is of velvet, there is a
yoke-shaped top fitting the figure
closely. This is about eight inches
deep. and is trimmed with three rows
of the GALLON set round and round.
There is poke almost covered with
galloon, and from this full front ex-
tends to the belt The sleeve-tops
are enormous puffs, with bands of gal
loon in points down the outsides of the
sleeves. The cuffs are of velvet, and
velvet rosettes finish the corners of the
yoke where they join the sleeves.
A stylish waist of plain silk has
front of very rich brocade. A square
collar covers the shoulders and sleeve.
tops, extending far out over the sleeves.
This is edged with a Ruted ruffle OF
India silk. The collarette portion is
of silk, made stiff and rigid with
passenenterie or galloon set on to
head the rufhe, and also to outline a
yoke pointed on the front and back
and on the shoulders. Above this yoke
is soft collar of velvet. The loose
belt is also of velvet. is ~ es
A'novelty costume is made, of thick
black silk, lustrous and stiff enough
to stand out in the approved fashion.
The dress is cut in princesse style,
and is open from throat to hem, show
ing very closely plated, full-length
front of embroidered crepon. The
square collar is edged with the en-
broidered crepon, and the crepon
sleeves have very narrow cuffs of vel
vet just below the elbows. The sleeves |
are made in two puffs, and have
shirred tops in epaulet fashion.
A marked departure in existing
styles is shown in princesse dress
cut with very narrow cores, all the
seams nbeings left open about three,
fourths of the distance from the hem
to the waist-line. Underneath are set I
sections of contrasting material. One
dress OF this sort was shown in striped
satin, in two shades of ecru, the under
sections being OF, olive-green velvet.
The waist was close-fitting and with.
out trimming, except fichu of soft
silk with pink rufdes. The sleeves are
very full and of the striped material,
with velvet cuffs and large bows on
the front of the arms. aa
Another dress is of bright-s potted
taffeta. 1t has three narrow ruff1es at
the hem of the skirt, enormous balloon
sleeves. and + a close fitting waist,
which is nearly concealed by large,
surplice-shaped collarette, with wide
'ufies that almost cover the sleeve
,ops. The surplice ends of this trim
ming pass under the soft belt. and fall
half way down the skirt on either side.

are trimmed with lace
let on very full. This collarette af.
air is made of crepon, in any of the p
light colors.
There seems to be mania just now
or what is called simple dresses. It
omewhat amusing to note the net re-
ults OF simple dressing of this kind.
\ plain batiste, inexpensive enough in
is original condition, is made up over y
ill, and has enough elaborate and
ostly garniture on the waist and
leeves to bring the aggregate expense

Twenty-Five to fifty dollars worth of !
waist trimming alone on a dress of ;,
