Many of the styles of trimming used
on summer skirts and bodices, says a
New York writer, are not at all admit
rable. They are extremely fussy without
being effective. The great amount of
time and work expended upon f1imsy
little endless rows of plated, hem
stitched and lace edged ruches and
frills seem wholly out of proportion to
the result produced. Dresses of this sort
are no doubt very fashionable, but they
are also very expensive, the chiffon,
silk malin, tulle and other diaphanous
textiles used not being calculated to
Withstand even ordinary wear and tear.
More economical and quite as pretty,
even for dressy uses, are gowns of india

Fresbening a Waist.

A pretty way to freshen white
chiffon or organize waist, says fash.
ion authority, is to cut away the entire
portion that covers the upper part of
the bodice and shoulders, stitching the
raw edges thus made to secure them,
then adding a new yoke top, either of
lace and insertion, all lace, tucked in
dia muslin, net or shirrings of organdie
alternating with rows of ribbon. An
other effective method is to add from
the shoulder seams long surplice scarf
ends laid in soft folds. Bring these In
