to keep up q proper proportion in outline.
ana so there y every argument in favor
OF the remnant this season.
The little bolero Jackets recently revived
In fashion add another to the many ways OF
utilizing short lengths Of lace. silk and EN-
brodery. Pretty boleros for renovating an
old muslin gown are made OF lace lined with
batiste. or OF tucked white muslin trimmed
with frills OF narrow lace. Others are OF
lawn. with Insertions of lace and a frill of
lace on the edge. These arc made very
short, the wide folded belt fills in the space
below. and an almost entire new waist Is
the result, while the amount OF material re-
quired is very small Boleros are decidedly
taking the place Of the wide white satin
revers which wore so commonly worn in the
early spring.
There are all sorts Of collars and epau-
let's. and entire waists Of lace. and every
other conceivable kind OF short Jacket effect
with frille OF chiffon on the edge. One pref
ty bolero in very quaint shape Is made OF
squares Of fine white lace, each one edged
around with pert little frills of cream
colored lace edge. Lace Is gathered into
the sleeves to fall over the hand and formed
into bows for the neck and jabots for the
front OF the waist, and almost any length Of
ribbon can be utilized In some OF tho various
ways which fashion has supplied.

ciennes lace all around the edge. When
muslin dresses ara much worn sashes in

or white chiffon with long frilled enda are
the daintiest Of all. They fasten with an
antique enameled buckle at tho side or in
tho middle Of the back. as you choose. and

lection, while others Of plain glace silk with
tiny lace frill on the edge are equally
pretty for this purpose
Narrow frills of changeable ribbon not
more than on inch wide are used to trim the
skirts OF some OF the pretty light summer
dresses, and pinked-out ruches Of silk are
seen on others. Ruches and puffings Of chf-
fon are another feature OF dress trimming,
and narrow double frills of chiffon edge

bolero. Fichus Of lace. net. chiffon. muslin
and silk are another fashionable accessory
OF dress, and the very latest novelty in this
article Of dress is made OF Powered silk
muslin, and worn over plain white organde
or silk gowns.
A new idea IN the coreeiet belt. which IL
such a special point OF fashion Just at pres
ert. Is the Use OF two or more colors. and
bias folds each in different shade OF some
color, make very good enect with the Dark
est shade at the lower edges. Black satir
belts appear on oil sorts OF gowns. and fou
lards arc chiefly made with a corselet bel
draped around the waist In folds which
continue into the skirt. each one peint
edged with narrow Valenciennes lace.
Another feature Of these gowns "a the
transparent wrinkled sleeves OF lace or lawr

Swiss belt OF taffeta or satin ribbon Is an
other fancy, and this is boned at the sides

with a narrcw plating OF satin on either
side OF the fastening.
Black belts made OF two-inch satin ribbon
