her own room under the shade of avn
ings wears a wide Japanese jacket of
wash silk if she knows where the mer-
curry is going. Habutai silk, in white
stripes on a pale tinted BACKGROUND. or
cool white linen lawn is the usual choice
for the Incompatible little garment that
is shaped exactly like a kimono, barring
the long. narrow skirts. Falling wide and
loose about the body, the fronts and big
sleeves are faced with silk or muslin in
some solid tint, that harmonizes with the
wearer's complexion. For very not days

Black lawn hats are the latest fancy of
fashion and all the smart women wear
them. They are made with a shirred
crown and four or five pissed ruffles
standing out from the face to form a
wide brim.
A piece of the lawn is wound about the
crown and tied In front in a huge bow.
There is no color about it anywhere. and

face of fun black frills. ali huted and un-
dulating over the hair. They cost fabu-
lousy in the shops because they are a
novelty, but if you are clever you can
make one for yourself. If it IS too diff
cult to make the hat without a frame,you
can buy a black wire frame with a plain
crown about three inches high and a mar
row brim, as you only want a wire or
two to support the %ruffles, as they stand
out well with their own fullness.
