creation, but if woman may wear
his neckties, why not his shoeties,
which are so much more fetching?
Thus she argued, and, finding no OPP
position, has adopted the cOlored
shoe string.
In parasols this season the tone of
apple green, which is bright and vi
vid, is one of the favorite colors, in
plain glace silk, made without lin
ing, but with gold ribs, the sticks
cOlOred green, with cocks head at
the top. Mauve silk ones made on
the same lines have mauve handles
with crooks. This is "a class of para
sol that will be much worn. Some
of the seasons new kinds are lined
with plisse put on full and edged
with narrow lace in7ertiOn, which
is also carried up the ribs. Many
soft Bengaline silks and satins and
twilled silks are employed for the
same purpose.
Mary white and tan piques are
made up with yokes and sleeves of
tucked blue linen lawn. Ruches Of
blue lawn also are used as trimming,
most OF the gowns trimmed in this
way being built along the long lines
of the princess or redignote, often
fastening diagOnally across the
trout. the ruching following tCe
line all around the yoke, down the
front and around the foot CT the
gown. With such gowns there is

Lace has always been beloved Of
the French woman, and, indeed, by
every woman, though the American
woman has ALWAYS been a little
cautious in its use, prefering to wear
no lace at all if she could not wear
the very finest. Now all this is
changed. While she still holds to
the real lace" rule for all her
handsome costumes, she INDUCES
her fancy in the many other varie-
ties of lace that are made just for
moderately-priced gowns. There
are laces just for ginghams and
linens, and lawns, and they are of
such stvle as to be perfectly appro-
pirate trimming for summer wash
frOcks.
Afternoon waists of lace or net are
very modish. The combining Of
lace and mOusseline de sole is new
this season and some of the most
charming ezra summer bodices
are found in this combination.
Often one finds entire bodices made
of fine putting of the mou1-eline and
wide bands of the lIrr.
There is quito y decided revival Of
the basque. Particularly is this so
in the lace and ret bodices referred
to. We have worn round waists
so long that fashion has grown
weary and seeking for novelty one
revives "A previous much-liked
mode.
A pretty summer fashion idea is
the putting on of finely pleated blue
muslin frills on white dresses, and
one often finds them on the brown
linens, if no other place, at neck and
wrists, and cascading down the edge
of a narrow white vest. So popular
are the blue lawn ruffles in London
that the shops are selling them by
the yard ready made, and importers
here say that they are included in
their latest orders. The blue of
which they are made, is that pretty
bright, but soft, shade known as
mauve blue. Any other shade is
not so elegant.
Ginghams are frequently trimmed
with ribbons. They are no more
designed to wash than challes, and
are quite as pretty and much cooler.
A stylish girl seen on Broadway the
other day was gowned IN beautiful
gingham, in soft brown and green
shades, trimmed with white satin
ribbons. 1t was a half-inch ribbon
that was used, gathered through the
middle and run on in apron shape
on the skirt, and several rows gave
bolero effect to the jacket. 1t is
really quite surprising how delight
fully artistic Bingham can be made
up, the present fashion OF rutfilng,
making it possible to give dainty
air to materials formerly only en-
ployed in the fashioning of most
practical gowns.
A fashion that, l am informed
upon good authority, will extend
well into the next season of dinners
and dances is the tiouncing of gowns
from hem to waist, with lace; and,
in fact, covering the entire gown
with lace. This is fashion that
was much in vogue during the late
'70's and early sos; so, if there Is a
woman who has nicely tucked away
! her fine lace fiOunces, she may now
bring them forth. The old-fash-
toned prejudice of combining two
sorts of lace has been overcome by
the artistic effects that have recent
ly been brought about through this
very thing. 1t is not at all unusual
to see frill of old-fashiOned Yak
lace edging, a yoke of Valencinnes.
1t is, therefore, an easier matter
now to put odds and ends of laces
to good use.
