ia various colors. The French Pat.
tern Dresses r made very elabor-
ately with applique flowers, en-
broidery and bands of insertion.
The new zephyr cottons have threads
woven into the outer surface which
give to them the appearance Of wool
en- materials so that they are espec.
tally adapted for street costume in
warm weather. The newest impor-
tatlons for shirt waists are shown in
these delicate tissues. The shirt
waist of this season is easilysrecog-
nized by immense dropping bishop
sleeves which are usually finished
with a turn over cuff. These shirt
waists r especially satisfactory be-
cause of their adjustable collars.
The favorite interlining is the finest
