NOTES ON SUMMER GOWNS.
What VIII he Worn During the Com.
ing Season.


There is tendency to skirt trim
ming like our gradmothers wore. There
was play in Cincinnati not long since.
the time of which was the good old days
Of 1920. Most any of the thin gowns
worn by the heroine would be consid
cred highly fashionable now. The fine
cid buff-colored lawn was covered with
large flowers of deeper hue. The skirt
was ruffled clear to the knees. Quaint
sleeve caps of double ruffles fell TO the
elbows.
One of the latest Paris plates shows
skirt made of three deep fiOunces
clear to the waist. Some of the skirts
are gathered full down to the hips with
several rows of shirring. One was i
double skirt, the upper part being
graduated into large scallOps around
the bottom, finished with full ruffle,
giving the effect of an overskirt.
Surely fashion is expecting a hot
summer. There is a perfect rage fol-
sheer goods of all kinds, the thinner
the better. Even the shirt waists have
ceased to be in any degree mannish, be-
ing the daintiest feminine creations
of organdie and dimity. One of the
most striking displayed at a recent pri
