palest blue taffeta lining. 1t was
trimmed with quillings and plaitings of
green and blue silk muslin and there
was a splash of black velvet in front
amidst some ecru guipure in a jabot
effect.
The daintily colored pongee frocks are
as charming and serviceable as those of
foulard, which have long done service
to the fashionable omen and will long
continue so to do. A red pongee Paris
model Is awfully fetching with a broad
band Of ecru point lace about tina marrow
skirt at the knees, this lace having at
three different points long square tabs
that reach to the trailing hem. The hem
is covered as high as the lace band with
plaitings of doubled red silk muslin, the
edges pulled out to form sucli q ruche
like mass The ecru point on the bodice
is laid over leaf green silk and there is
black velvet on the bodice also.
The most striking feature about the
toilet are the elbow sleeves of red pom
gee finished with an ecru guipure cuff
which are met by long mitts of black
lace-real mitts they are too, for while
they are fastened into the gown to quite
cover the elbow they have the little thumb
piece which holds them down over the
hand.
In white these mitts are quite as fetch
ing and are shade more so than the
unlined lace, but which are an integral
part of the frock itself. There is moth
ing so pretty and comfortable for sum
mer wear as these dainty hand coverings
and we hope the summer season will see
them well established.
What with the sunbonnet, which is
now customary part of the summer
girls wardrobe, the poke bonnet. the pic
turesque leghorns, the directoire Shout
der scarves, the white stockings and the
mitts, the fashionable mondaine rarely
appears without some one suggestion of
olden times. Not all of these, nor any
very noticeable combination of these
quaintnesses of the nodes ARE worn at
the same time, however, for that would
simply defeat ones purpose Of appear
Ing advanced to the aterge9of quaintness
and make one look simply affectedly old
fashioned . NJ
The black stocking is certainly slowly
making way for the ,colored or the white
one. And most enchanting the new hos
iery is. Subdued plaids and checks and
stripes in rich green's and sblues, russets,
in black and white Iare worn with low
shoes and street gowns, as we'll as for
sports. House stockings match the frock,
whether black or colored shoes are worn,
and for negligee purposes. there are to be
found the daintiest Of white Isle thread
stockings, striped or, sprissSed with color
the prettiest possible things to wear
with white petticoats and lowered dinity
dressing Jackets. 81 <sd
Gowns of grass linen are prettiest when
trimmed with insertions of white lace
and finished with wide plaitings of white
batiste. The under slip should be a color,
preferably a tender green. The cravat
which trims many a foulard bodice is
usually knotted twice, once at the base of
the threat or of the pointed .plastron
about which it is worn, once again lower
down before the ends are thrust under
the belt or left hanging, broad and point
ed or rounded and hemnned. Hemmed

black satin is almost as effective for a
cravat as stitched black velvet. A cravat
of black taffeta with a corded edge is
fetching on a frock of white muslin en-
crusted with black Chantilly lace, a lay
er of thin black gauze hanging between
the lace-trimmed top and It's final rose
muslin lining, which saves it from any
suggestion of mourning.
A black taffeta tunic, scolloped and
trimmed with black velvet ribbons, is
very smart, hanging Imply and closely
over a trailing petticoat of white taffeta,
hocped with graduated black velvet
bands. The whole black tunic is peppered
with little embroidered daisies, the CEN
tiers of which are cut out to reveal the
white lining. With this adorable skirt
a black satin cloth jacket IS worn and a
white pique waistcoat with brass buttons,
the jacket having a collar of old rose vel
vet and a lining of old rose, black silk
crochet buttons, over pink foundation
trimming each side. The cravat is of ecru
lace, the hat of old rose straw, draped
with white lace scarf.
And, apropos of scarfs on hats, quite
the newest is scarf Of Grape de chine or
India silk or pongee, of same dainty tint,
the ends bowed between and deeply firing
ed.
White mohair is one of the fabrics we
are bound to see a great deal this sum-
mer. Pure cream white is what the
dressmakers are using, and 1t is one of
the goods that lends itself admirably In
the makeup of a perfectly plain suit.
1t can be either wrought out as a skirt
and short coat, to wear with snowy silk
and lace shirt fronts, or you can order
white mohair from your dressmaker,
the waist to button up In the back and

back. Slides OF a similar style are also
used on the ribbon belt, these being put
on at the back, the ribbon coming from
the front and slipping through and hang
ing down in long ends. There is clasp
that fastens down and holds the ribbon
securely, but it does not muss or injure
the silk.
Here are the summer Innings that fash
ionable modistes show preference for:
Silk is, of course, always first choice, not
merely because it is fashionable, but for
the better reason that no other fabric
proves such comfortable wear or will
produce such soft, easy-flowing lines or
retain its original shape so perfectly. 1t
IS far better to purchase a 65-cent wooden

FLOWER CHARM SOMETHING WHICH EVERY MAN Should GE HIS SWEETHEART

The wall of the man, "There is always
something being invented to coax the
money out of ones pocket" is truly a
just one, when you come to seriously eX-
anlined the many devices and fads which
are constantly being put in the market,
with which to enhance beautiful woman s
charms, says the New York Herald.
The latest fad which has been invented,
and which every man who would hold
his sweetheart's affection must present
her with, is in one sense of the word not
a cheap one, though the original outlay is
not very great.
1t is called a flower charm, and is in
tended for a chatelaine or a Cyrano
chain, or it may be turned aside from its
original purpose and made to do duty
as a photo frame and an ornament for
my lady's desk.
1t is two round glass disks, concave
and convex. set in a silver or gold rim.
A tiny screw at the top loosens the

the skirt to drop over a colored slip. To
get the best effect of course the mohair
is pierced here and there with inlets of
guipure figures, the mesh of which the
under silk shows, or from waist to line
hem lines of lace insertion radiate and
the green, mauve or rosy taffeta appears
most showily. The dress waist that but
tons up behind is demonstrating it's pop
uiarity every day, and by this means it
is possible for a woman of slender and
graceful proportions to display her fig
ure to the most interesting advantage,
and particularly well do these severely
simple sheathlike gowns show off the
wraps of the season.
The Fashionable fan this summer is of
fancy plated chiffon which bears very
close resemblance to ostrich feathers;
indad, you can scarcely tell the differ
ence, especially when the fan is folded.

wreathed with flowers or fruits and sup
piled with the general soft f1oppiness of
brim and studied disorder of arrangement
which characterizes mock pastoral
chapeau?
One of the novelties of the season are
the long cloaks of chanegable silk, of
brocaded silk or taffet, trimmed with
chiffon ruft1es galore, black velvet ro-
settles with long ends from the bust
and long wrist ruffies from the bishop
sleeves. They are but partially fitted
are, in fact, not unlike etherealized win
ter cloaks and do duty for daytime car
riage wear and for coaching all summer.
