Paris, June 16.--It is interesting to
watch how gradually the real summer
gown makes its appearance here. When
winter wraps are DOTTED there is the
early spring season Of smart tailor
GOWNS A little later on pretty silk
blouses harmonizing or even matching
the skirt in dolor are worn. Then
comes a season Of soft cashmeres, fou-
lards and crisp taffetas. Then the long
warm summer evenings made their ap-
pearance and the casinos in the Bots
are thronged with fashionably gowned
women Then the real summer gowns
are seen to their bes, advantage.
A couturiere here spends as much
time. trouble and dainty trimming on
the simplest muslin gown as is spent
on gowns designed for great functions.
OF course all of these light gowns are
made over silk transparencies and they
boast no end Of dainty hand work.
Just imagine what time is spent on
these dainty gowns when they are con-
sidered worthy of an all over hand en-
broidered design in addition to their
printed patterns.
One of these gowns that boasted a
bright touch Of hand embroidery was
made of red and white checked lawn
and at intervals were embroidered dots
in scarlet silk. 1t was made over white
taffeta.
HAND EMBROIDERY.
The skirt fitted close over the hips
and at the back the slight bit of full
ness was gathered into the waistband.
II was trimmed around the bottom with
a frill of the goods ornamented with
embroidered white lawn, arranged in a
Y pattern. Two other scant frills trim
med in the same way and arranged in
points were sewed at equal distances
from the waistband to the bottom OF The
skirt
The corsage was a blouse cut slightly
Y at the neck and crossed over to the
left side. 1t was finished with two
strips of the embroidery and scant
frill of the trimmed muslin. The
sleeves were close fitting and long with
the embroidery arranged N diamond
pattern at the top. Bright red velvet
ribbon was employed for the collar and
ceinture
So many Of the fluffy summer gowns
have their frills all bordered with gath
cred baby ribbon The shade employed
is often darker than the material of the
gown. so that the effect is rather strik-
ing.
GIRLISH DRESSES.
A sweet girlisih gown of white lawn
printed with lilac rings. was very eff
fective with its trimming of baby rib
bon. 1t was made over transparency
Of lilac taffeta.
The skirt was trimmed around at
equal distances with three frills of the
lawn edged with deep violet baby rib
bon put on full Above each ruffie there
was strip Of embroidery.
The corsage was blouse Of the lawn
with the material gathered very full at
the shoulders. II had a short fichu of
the lawn trimmed around the edge with
a strip of the embroidery and bordered
with double frills.
Several rows of the gathered hahv
ribbon adorned the bottom of each frill.
Where the fichu fastened at the front
there was knot of broad double faced
violet satin ribbon with the ends caught
down to the ceinture of the same. A
long bow of the ribbon finished the
ceinture at the left side. A frill of the
