shoulders delicately through the semi
diaphanous textile of the waist proper.
Those who admire the fneness and
durability of the French ginghams or
I zephyrs, as they are now called, have
them made up in the simplest manner,
with belted waist shirred round the
neck, or with a bolero jacket of the
bingham in, for instance, a pink, gray,
and reseda color mixture with PLAIN
pink Bingham blouse vest, held by a
narrow leather belt, with a large box
pleat down the front. The revers OF
the plain pink goods may be edged with
rows of narrow linen gimp that always
launders Well Other models have the
zephyrs made up with a short fitted
basque bodice. with large yoke-collar
of open embroidery, loose from the suit,
which can be Numbered without the
suit Another dress style shows the
bingham gown trimmed with belt and
stock collar of ribbon matching one of
the colors in the pattern. Paqun
points of creamy embroidered batiste
edged with narrow Valenciennes lace
finish the top of the high collar and
edge the sleeves at the wrist.
The bolero, the Elton and all the trim
and natty little jacket effects continue
to be very much in evidence among the
seasons latest importations, and mid
summer will find them as omnipresent
irTo tprtiipS THESE
Jackets, however, in no way interfere
with the host of charming and stylish
BASQUE bodices, the Louis XIV, Louis
XVI, Victorian and other historical
coats, or the pretty round waists, Bre-
ton corsages, the shirred, corded, pulled
and tucked bodices, with skirts dec
GRATED TO correspond. Some of the very
smart models for summer gowns show
the skirt laid in alternate knife-kiltings
and narrow braided panels. Robe
dresses of plain and machine-embroid-
cred linen, batiste or the lighter grass
| linen are particularly effective so made
UP, and in MORE. satins, or fables, IN
| combination with sun pleated nets,
grenadines, crepe de Chine, or silk eta
mine. some extremely elegant costumes
are shown.
J The modiste and the tailor have this
year made yachting and tennis cos
tunes that are suitable also for beach
| and country wear-sOme in skirt and
| Jacket form, others with canvas
serge or mohair skirt and waist OF
different material, each of fancy taffeta
or the cooler figured India silk. These
are not the familiar shirt waist with
pointed yoke and stiff cOllar-a style
| relegated to mere utility uSeS-but are
made over thin lining in a rather fancl-
| full fashion, with a fluffy front, spread
| ing shoulder effects, a seamless back
| small sleeve-puffs, and a ceinture-like-
waist finish that is not too wide to give
| a slender effect. For cool days there
| is a aunty-jacket bodice en- suite made
! of the shirt fabric.
| One of the most effective ornaments
| for the hair this season is made out OF
two outstretched birds wings or rides
| cent green, with a small cluster of roses
| at their base.
Rumor has it that the turban is to be
revived. The idea is received with de-
| cided favor.
Moire is again to be in universal IA
vor. The silken fringe which was wont
! to decorate the black silk dress in the
olden DAYS is also TO be worn. This
fringe. which is half an inch in width
made of SILK. appears on many of the
newest models in triple rows around
! the skirt and trimming the sleeves.
| The bodice trimmings for evening are
nearly all of the stomacher shape, con-
tinued at the top as far as the shout
| ders. They are worked also in pal
lettes. Jewels. and tinsel thread, so thai
/ the material of the dress shows in the
| interstices.
! The embroideries for the fronts OF
gowns this coming season are beautiful
| Some on Isle and net are worked in the
corners with light floral patterns, Which
are made right and left SO that one oil
| two can be used. In these green anC
pink tinsel and pallettes of faint tone
mingle with gold. silver and pearls, oil
! something of that nature.
