A Girl In Grny.

A certain auburn haired girl appeared
at an evening party not long ago in a
simple gown which made her look like
a picture. 1t was of sheer gray organdie
made over mouse gray satin, the outer
skirt being very full and edged with
futtering ruf1lcs. The blouse was COM
posed of gray satin ribbon. three inches
wide. alternating with creamy white
lace, with beautifully finished edge,

ribbon. About the neck was worn dog

arm buttoned with silver ornaments to
match the collar. Gray silk stockings
and gray suede slippers, with bit Of
silver embroidery, and gray suede gloves
completed the picture, which any red

The Busy Summer Girl.

The SIMMER girl is busy preparing for
her mission i'll life by getting as many
cool looking frOcks as she can manage
Now, the summer girl is often far from
rich, but fortunately summer gowns are
cheap, and summer styles favor economy,
even though the luundresS does not.
Take clever summer girl and give her
one navy blue serge suit of coat and
skirt, one similar suit in colored duck
and one in white and with raft of
shirt waists and blouse fronts she can
achieve q bewilderin9 change of cos
tune. White and colored piques are
quite as popular as duck for this season S
wear, us you can sec by taking a stroll
through the dress departments of any Of
the great stores. PiQue, from its very
stiffness and resistance, leads itself ad-
mirably TO tho present styles, but it will
not endure trimming, nor can a waist Of
it be ever anything but ugly. 1t must be
made with jacket effect. or it had bet
ter forever DO left alone
The skirts Of duck and pique are made
without lining and are not moro than
five yards around. Bright colored
fronts or blouses make these costumes
most effective. Delicate silk vests arc
often used and look very pretty. The
summer girl is one who seeks infinite
variety-and gets it-at small cost. On
very drcsSy occasions she may have a
tatfcta silk, but these silks have too cere-
monious look for everyday wear. so
the summer girl uses her taffeta only on
the SWEETEST occasions. and then she
knows she is dressed quite up to the
highest mark, and she is happy.

archery costumes. In these the sleeves fit
the lower arm quite closely and are only
moderately loose and not balloon shaped
between the elbow and shoulder. The
wrist is rather loose, and the skirt only
comes to the top Of the boots. On the
left hand and wrist is neat padded
leather gauntlet to catch tho force of the

let of curious openwork to facilitate

AS she approaches the first thing you
notice is something like an old fashioned

she has dreadful struggle with her

hands are employed with Indifferent
