The principal entertaining in SUNNI err

When the very hot weather sets in
luncheons are voted a bore, and then
afternoon receptions or garden parties
are the favorite modes of entertaining

include In any elaborate outfit several

Nothing can be Erettier nor smarter
than what 10 known as garden. party

There is no fixed law as to what
material is most appropriate. Thin
muHlins are used. silks of every hind,
grenadines and nets, orepes, and even
light woolens. The muslina arc most
seen in midsummer, and when silks are
used. they are trimmed to give light
effect. OF course all these gowns are
made high-neoked, and are worn with
a hat or bonnet.
The organdie m uslins are so cheap at
this particular time Of the year. that
a great many of them are made up for
garden party gowns. They are very
dainty in coloring, and very effective,
albeit the cheap ones ara trifie coarse.

lowered with pink has the skirt
trimmed with a entire deux Of lace
