rcngenaent OF The national colofS in their
costumes. As an instance. The Gradual
ing class Of q ~ftshlpnable girls school
have agreed to Il graduating gown as
folisws;@Vhite gown with rufflos edged
with blue hcbe ribbon and iEttle coat
bodice with turned back blue revers. Two
narrow sashes will pass around the waist.
one OF red ribbon fastening in a small bow
and the ether Of blue ribbon finished with
long ends. A June brides travelling wrap
turned out by a smart tailor was a long
sack coat Of blue cloth cut in the latest
and SWEETEST manner. 1t was strapped
about the front and sleeves and faced
about the collar with blue and white
plaid silk. while the lining was red taffeta.
Outing suits of blue serge with a white
cloth collar opening at the neck to show
2 tucked red SILK vest is a pretty idea
that will be very popular with the sum
mer girl Narrow gold braid and tiny
brass buttons on dark blue will be much
to the fore. Flag ribbons are permitted
as hatbands. but not as sashes. unless
the field of stars is omitted; red. White
and blue stripes are not forbidden. Flag
buckles, studs and sleeve links are worn
by some. but frowned on by others.

The number of simple gingham gowns
for this summer are legion Never was
gingham so popular. With bias bodice
front is a favorfte way to make them
White insertions are used upon them in
great quantities.. too. Bias bands of
white pdque is a very modish and up-to-
date garnfture for them also. Plaids,
checks and stripes take the lead in pat
terms. In shades lavender is very popu-
lar. In the rousseau of a swell June
bride was a lavender gingham crossed
with white and pale green. The skirt
was made with apron front and circular
founee. The waist was surplice. with a
wide rolling collar. square in the back
and trimmed with a ruffle of white en-
brcsdery. With this was to be worn a
white dfckey and black string tie.
The added warmth of the last week
mas brought the problem of parasol and
sun umbrella prominently to each
s4oman's notice. These chic dress access
series are The height of this sum-
mer. and at the present time are almost as
necessary an adjunct to a complete toilet
as a hat. Every we'll dressed woman must
have. NOT one only. but if she desires to
be at all swell. one to match every cos
tune. The sun umbrella is most in keep
ing with the taipor-made suit or a shirt
waist costume. Much attention has been
paid TO the handles this year. and they are
elaborate and artistic to excess. A favor
tie design on many of the smartest para
soils is 9 serpent or toad with jeweled
owes Specially designed p~arasols come
with extra. long sticks to. carry when
wearing a towering picture hat. Gauze
narasols are very fashionable. A cieVer
woman with an eye to economy could cas-
ifv buy a good China silk untrimmed para
sol with a handsome handle. decorate It
with lace gauze or applique designs ana
ribbon knots. and have a very pleasing
imitation of the very costly models Win
much less expense. A new decorative 1dea
IS to have a bow of ribbon at the end OF
each RIB.
whether beauty. gift of the gods, really

facture of the product invariabiy re-
suits in a calamity. says the Philadelphia
Press, No Greek nose was ever pulidea
upon the ruins of a pug, but some DAY
arose in revolt at the perfidy of man. NO
mouse-eolored tresses of maiden were ever
sacrificed to a more decorstive color
scheme but disaster followed close in the
wake. :.
In truth. the most fatally fatal OF all
things fatal in the artificial beauty Inc
is this very tanlpering with color effects
in women's hair. Every one knows OF
at least has heard it said. that to pieach

profession. and not all of them, are aware
that the sly touching up of locks no
