richly with pure white; the only pre-.
caution necessary is that the lace
should be extremely delicate in tex

touch of black is far more effective
than the oppressiveness of an abun-
dance.
All-black jrcket blouses are very
popular aud are of service for church
and theater when . nice-looking waist
is an essential. These are of hand

or sequin effect, or finished in heavy
cut stee with q prOfusion of chiffon or
Chsntilly lace in decoration. They
usua ly have large revers and bloused
fronts, and round yoke of a light or
bright shade, tsstefuIly fancy, is often
set into the top beneath a border of
lace or chiffon. In heavy silks the

Green is very fashionable. 1t is q
shade not likely to become very COM

elegance of all accessories appearing
with it to show it to advantage. A
tasteful toilet having q foundation of
lettuce green taffeta was OF an open
canvas on q pale tea green, run in an
srabesque braiding Of black and very
richly trimmed with black velvet. The
skirt was very attractive. A rather
close fitting eored design had twin
bands of black velvet all around.
These two-and-two sets are.joined rath-
err close together and are set at wide
intervals apart. The lower pair being
of very broad ribbon velvet each
growing narrower, and the upper pair
simple, but so jsuntv, composed Of al
ternating rows of velvet and cream

lining through. The sleeve, similarly
ornamented, had full bows of broad
velvet at the shoulder, and terminates
as q square flap cuff of lace over green
silk.
An exquisitss summer gown, which
looks "a fresh aud delicious as q pink
ro-ebud, is of finely. checked pink 90
white silk, clear as porcelain c0loriug
aud deliberately trimmed with very
full founces of Swiss silk, satin-striped
blouse closes over the shoulder and
under the arm, and has the sweetest

The sleeve .is q mOsquetafre plated

combined delicately with . pale pink

Chantilly lace, is handsome enough
for especial mention. The yoke OF

edges, fancy revers and collars. They
are q chic departure for informal wear,

being the greatest possible boon for |
wear with shirt waists, which are just |

aside. |
