tesign to show up we'll. The round
tapuchin forms one Of those wide hoods
made popular by Mrs. Cora Urouhart
Potter. 1t is lined with pink silk in
such way that the shoulder part is all
pink and so is the high storm collar.
ibis Is bound with soft plucked raccoon
In natural color In front it is clasped
with two great steel and gold orna-
ments. The style was the principal
thing. 1t was circular shape, but with
deep plaits at the very center of the
back. These threw it into a shape at
once stylish and dignified, particularly
as 1t was longer than the dress it COW
cred.
The new dotted swiss waists are
among the most attractive of all the
summer blouses. The dots vary in size
from pinheads to coin spots, but the
prettiest and most satisfactory will be
the finest and closest dots. They are
trimmed with lace in narrow widths
ruffied until they look like ruching.
Valenciennes, lierre and q new lace
called merode are all used. This last
mentioned lace has very fine mesh,
with light designs wrought about half
way covering it. Between these are
open woven spaces, giving it very
light appearance, lighter even than the
finest OF the oriental laces which it
slightly resembles. Tosca nets will be
made into dresses and into full blouses
to wear over some bright color. Chan
tilly and Brussels and Russian nets, all
black, will be favorites. A new fancy
is to make them up over white or cream
taffeta or lightweight white satin. The
chantilly is the finest for this purpose.
Veilings are unusually ugly, having
wide open meshes and large silk or che
nile dots scattered sparsely over them.
When those are worn with the new
spring and summer fiat" the effect
will be almost comical
The "flats" and the shepherdess, the
vatican and all the other kinds of hats
with wide brims will have as nearly
the effect of the olden days when flats
were in vogue before as possible. They
are surrounded with numberless flowers
scattered in loose profusion, or they
have scarf and spangle by the whole
sale, topped with high punches of beau
tifully made flowers. One thing remark
able about the flowers is their absolute
truth to nature. The ribbons to put
upon the rough straws, when ribbons
are used at all, are plaids, stripes and
stripes laid over checks. The checks are
of black and white or very dark blue,
brown or bottle green, with satin stripes
in bright colors laid over. Red Of al
most any shade, yellow in any shade
and in fact any bright color is liked.
Gamboge yellow and burnt orange are
among the new yellows. There are gauze
ribbons of every imaginable kind, many
Of them striped, and some with cute lit
tie swivel woven flowers in natural col
ors. There are also handsome ribbons
with a lengthwise black stripe with
pompadour flowers. between to match
the chintzlike pattern on many Of the
organdies. There are shaded stripes and
bayadere and roman stripes in the gay
est of colors These are by no means all
the ribbons. Black velvet ribbon both
wide and in very narrow widths will be
used very largely to trim the light
gowns and waists Black satin belts
with metal buckles will be popular for
wearing with wash dresses. This belt
ing is extremely heavy and thick and is
handsome and will not bend in the GEN.
