Bringing her inquisitive vision to
bear on the body of the average good
! gown, the note taking woman will OBJ
! serve, since all dress waists hook up
| to the left, they all show unique trim
ming and shaping tending that way. A
| large percentage have their fronts cut
] in an exact right angle triangle. The
point of the angle hooks under the left
arm, over full under vest Of soft yell
! low lace, or embroidered muslin, which
/ shows thus on the left shoulder and I'M
der the left breast
Other fronts spread up to hook on the
left shoulder, but catch only once I'M
der the arm, for the material is SlOped
away below this point to admit a gust
of lace or an under vest Of brOcaded
satin TO appear. To sum up, the whole
impression is that OF a series of very
bizarre little bolero fronts that ade-
quately and charmingly ill the aching
void left by the dear old pudding bag
or pouched front.
Late as il is in this season, the sum-
mer wrap has only just modified its
forces and stepped out on anything
like impressive and instructive dress
parade. Women whose pockets are
lined with either gold or whose names
signify almost unlimited credit at the
shops, wear exquisite CONNECTIONS when
driving and calling that are a compro-
mise between the almost obsolete boa
and the equally degenerate small cape.
That is to say, an enormous ruche OF
black silk violets, of roses, or heather
blossoms, encircles the neck, and from
this depend two pointed frills of rich
old white lace. The longest frill lets its
point fall only a few inches below the
wearer's waist, and in front clear to
her feet extend two white lace scarfs
that are supposed to serve as strings to
catch the cape collar up snugly under
her throat.
The enterprising. economical woman
copies this bit of prettinesS most rea-
sonably with a collar of purple violets
and strings and falls of ivory white
silk point esprit, edged with white bebe
ribbon.
Another brand of summer wrap,
which, in spite of the chill season, was
tardy in arrival, is a collar high about
the ears, and flaring on the shoulders,
having for its foundation some sort of
stiffening. Inside, the collar is lined
with black swans down. Outside. it is
completely covered with many over
tapping small frills of chiffon, edged
with ribbon. y jeweled tongue and
buckle catch this under the chin The
popular, though not the official, name
for this small garment is the Klondike
comforter. A white Shetland shawl
with gilt and silver threads run
it, is the very choicest evening
wrap a woman can carry in this day,
when luxury has reached a point where
extreme simplicity is its highest ex-
preston.
FLORAL HATS AND PARASOLS.
Among the prettinesses of the coun-
try toilet is the floral parasol that is /
as perishable and attractive as the /
flowers it represents. When opened, a
floral sunshade illustrates either a /
huge peony, rose, poppy or sunflower. I
Large petals of liberty silk are cut out I
and artfully adjusted to a foundation I
of silk, and about the ferule end pulled /
yellow chiffon represents the golden |
heart of the flower. Vivid scarlet pop
by parasols are most popular, mounted .
on black STATS, tipped with gilt.
Palpably for companionship with
