fastening two small plaits break the sever

diagonally.
The natty, jaunty blazer suits are n
deniably pretty and are affected by some
for tennis or that good old game, croquet,
though, generally speaking, girls now put
on their prettiest frocks for tennis There
was sort of hempen colored dress, with
dots and dashes of brown through it, The
skirt was made plain and worn with q
plated blouse of thick white silk fastened
with silver buttons and a white harness
belt with silver buckles. The soft collar
turned down over a rich blue foulard tie.
The jacket was just an ordinary blazer
lined with white silk and having wide
revers and n fiat collar faced with the silk.
With this there were two hats, one of
white straw, with a lot Of white null
made into big bows, and upon these was
perched white dove with little brown
on the wings; the other hat was of the
sailor variety, in blue and white straw,
with blue and white striped ribbon
around 1t. 1t was such "a dainty and clean
looking oostumel 1t Is also very useful
one, being adapted for any outdoor amuse-
ment or SPORT naturally excepting horse
and bicycle riding and golf, though there
are girls who would be able to wear 1t at
those rather rough sports too. And nothing
could be neater or daintier for a morning
stroll in tho country.
1t must have taxed human ingenuity to
the utmost to have evolved so many and
such varied ideas in bodioes. There seems
to be nothing conceivable that has not
been invented, and one looks from one to
the other lost in astonishment mingled
with admiration. could not describe them
all if tried. Every one differs from the
others and every one is pretty, some beau

term to tho lace and muslin and other
thin waists, for they deserve 1t.
Thore was one gown that was really too
beautiful. it was heartbreaking. The
material was a soft, creamy, transparent
wool, with rush green waved lines as the
design. These lines were about three
inches deep, making the pattern striking.
The skirt was untrimmed, but the bodicei
All, that was another matterl The bodice
was Of pale lilac tatfeta, with point In
front and back, with q draped belt OF the

were revers of the same, with full frills OF
black lace about four inches wide. Around
the bottom of the bolero there was a mar

OF the oorsa2s was a jabot made Of accor'
dion plated cream silk null, bordered, on
each side by black silk null plating OF
the same width In jabot form. The sleeves
were In the Victorian shape, with cream

Blouses continue In high favor on such
gowns as wouid not admit of a shirt waist.
some OF these are covered with lace or with
dotted swiss, and the sleeves are usually
made of The skirt material. The most APP
