by any fashionable modiste would cost.
A note requesting a description ana
prices of the varied styles of skirts
sent to any of the leading merchants
of New York will bring a reply. White
nuns yelling, trimmed with lace, with
satin and gold braid. or combined with
faille. or China silk, forms very
charming gown, more durable and APP
propriate for more occasions than al
most any other white gown. White
crepe de Chine of a creamy tint Is
lovely with rich lace garnitures, with
pearl gimps and special pieces on the
bodice combined with the lace. There
are also white China silks. plain and
silk-dotted, or sprayed in white or
colors. and nearly all the dressy white
evening gowns are made with a round
waist, with handsome ribbon finishings
at the belt, and a demitrained gored
skirt, trimmed with fiounces, tiny frllls,
or ruches. A single ruche at the hem,
however continues to finish many of
the very elegant dresses Of silk, satin,
or brocade.
The new etamines have a very open
mesh and a silky surface. They are
colors and designs, but the dressmak-
ers say they are a most difficult ma
teria1 to handle. The best of them are
given to fraying, at any snug fitting,
and grenadine or even organdie muslin
has better staying powers than these
attractive fabrics.
Very many of the pretty duck suits
in Madras linens, piques, and fancy
crashes are made up in regular tailor
fashion, being modelled in many in
stances exactly after the style of the
checked and striped summer tweeds
and cheviots. These have gored skirts
and smart little open-fronted Jackets,
with fitted waistcoats or blouse vests
of white, yellow or pink pique. Some
are prettiIy braided in white, others are
trimmed with rows of fancy cotton
gimp, and still others are absolutely
plain.
Each succeeding year adds variety
and extravaganza 20 the department Of
fashionable lingerie, and all the novel
ties in garments of this season are dis
tinguished for their dainty fineness and
beautiful finish. Handmade under
wear of fine nainsoOk, extensively but
not elaborately trimmed with embroid-
cry and lace, is greatly desired by wo-
men of refined taste and abundant
means, but the average woman cannot

Very many Of the semitransparent
toilets of the season are made up uh-
lined, to be worn simply over snip
or bodice and petticoat or SILK III
some cases the shot patterns are useC,
giving the pretty shadow or two-toneo
effect, and this is most satisfactory
selection as the colors of the SILK snow
in delicate shimmering lights through
the airy fabric. A rose and silver shot
silk is exceedingly effective under sill
ver-gray batiste.
This season. tucked blouse-fronts,
with less of droop at the belt than
those recently fashionable, and SIX
skirt-linings are a prominent feature OF
the costume. Decided contrasts prevail.
For example, a cherry-red lining ana

an expensive gown of blue mohalr

and effective en- suite. with a stylish
gown, and in every instance they have
the tailor finish and a silk lining OF
contrasting color.
In selecting "a very handsome and
elaborate white dress for the summer"
much depends upon the occasions for
which it is desired. The list of white
gowns for the season before us is ex-
ceptionally varied and beautiful. and
there are costumes and toilets for
nearly every hour. White organdie
over white taffeta or MORE is a leading
favorite. the skirt and bodice trimmed
with lace-edged ruffies of the muslin
and lace insertion. Very elegant skirts
of white embroidered India muslin, al

Pale apple green and softest prim-
rose yellow is a favored color combi-
nation this season, also lovely tints in
pink, with sage green or apricot Lily
white and deep cream color are also
united again. There are many who
continue to think that the one tint
