A lovely imported English mode has
| not only the batiste chemisette but the
undersleeves to match, Of our grand
mothers.
The silk sleeves are short, slightly bell
1shaped and cannot be worn without these
| undefsleeves.
AT one of our smartest establishments
/ was shown another charming waist in
this vein. 1t was of red silk and closed
at the throat and waistline, but opened
between those two points to show a
chemlsette of fine embroided linen lawn.
The now absolutely indisperasa blexaffeta
waists are rendered lighter and daintier
by the Introduction of cool linen.
There are cotton waists also cut in
variations of this style.
Ore OF dotted embroidered batiste was
worn open over a long cherniselte of plain
white batiste laid in deep folds and closed
by two turquoise shirt studs.
Another waist was of striped cheviot,
made up bayadere and cut out in front
over a shirt bosom of plain linen. The
| opening was framed by revers and collar
| of the cheviot.
AT a spring reception this week | noticed
a dress of blue and black foulard, lightly
| patterned on a white ground.
The skirt showed a long point OF silk
in front, the space below and at the sides
of the point being filled in with accordion
pleated ~fiounces.
Each flounce was edged with white rib
bon and black lace and stood out nearly
horizontal with fulness.
The bodice had a similar decoration out
| lining a square gathered yoke. The
sleeves were closely gathered from waist
to shoulder.
A draped waistband of the old fashioned
lavender shade of the early. sixties was
| tied in a bow at one side.
The lavender is a favorite color crossed
with. white and pale green.
I nave seen it used by itself for a tea
| gown of china crepe with long stole ends
| of Maltese lace laid over white silk and
hanging to the ground in front and be-
hind.
The throat was arranged with a little
| square opening and below that a wide
band of lace left transparent.
Al afternoon dress for June wear is
carried out in a pale green and white
foulard, with triple skirts sweeping in
long curves from the waist to a consid-
| cradle length behind.
Each fiounce is edged with a friH of
white net bordered with a narrow white
ribbon, ard between the ~aounces inser-
| lions of yellow lace are arranged.
The bodice has an odd trimming of
gold lace plated with white chiffon into
a kind of braid which outlines an imagi-
A white isle vest is ruffled on each

Socks of rainbow streakings are worn
by the golting and bicycling women, who,
in place of bloDmers and their own long

There IS no cont1adicting the assertion
that these close clinging garments are
both cooler ard more comfortable in sum
| mer, when their wearers exercise, than
the combination of kfickerbocker and icng
hose. a final argument is that the knitted
garments are a better protection against
chill when taking exercise, and by a great
display of logic it has been proven that a
heavy golf stocking cannot be worn over

hence the compromise N socks. The

Among the confections for honeymoon

of bolero jackets, tying over the bust

the jacket is pierced with a Greek key
or some pattern in drawn threads. To

like a fairy veil. Among the most fantas-
tically modiste exhibits of lingerie are
night dresses that button on the shoulders
and down on the left side to the hip. With
these the collar is gathered in by a ribbon,
drawn high and close about the neck, and
knotted in a big rosette in the rear. Most
attractive, too, are the chemise and night
robes of pale rose, green. lavender and
blue lawn, onto which lace butterflies and
birds and trailing vines are artfully ap-
pliaued. All these garments are folded in
boxes, lined with white satin and tied up
with heaps of silver paper and white silk
lutte string, and not one of them has
passed under the hands of a laundress.
The brides-to-be like to buy their costly
lingerie just as it comes, wrinkled and
slightly yellowed, but bearing beyond the
question of a doubt all the proofs of hand
and home make.
To be right in the tip of style every
woman, old or young should have at

of chiffon, or one may be a long cream
lace scarf and the other of black velvet
ribbon. These strings are confined chiefly
to big white g flats turned up al
the back and twisted into a sort of poke
shape for the most part, though they are
also used on smaller hats of colored
straw. The average girl looks pretty
enough under one of these big flower
laden hats without strings, but with
strings carelessly knotted to the left side,
over her heart, she is bewitching. A hat
