A seersucker that is a regular glori-
ncation OF the ordinary sorts Is on the
market the puffed stripes being of silk
like brilliancy and separated from each
other by bands of lace pattern open
work. Dresses made up of this are
deliciously cool-lookins, though, of
course. they are lined all through. India
silk IS the best lining. Striped goods
generally are In high favor, and while
some are seen in wide stripes, the ma
jority are fine. The beauty Of the fabric
Increases with fineness OF the stripes, a.
a rule. and some Of the hair-line striped
goods are especially beautiful.

The idea was initiated later on by an
other man, the Emperor Antoninus

suading the Roman women to follow his
