Silk waists will certainly be seen much
during the coming summer, and the
blouse cut. which has not been seen at
all lately, and was even beginning to be
considered a thing of the past, appears
suddenly to present a certain amount of
probability of once more becoming fash
ionable. The fact is that, like the bolero,
it is too convenient to be easily discarded,
but in its make there will, of course, be
many notifications, thus giving 1t a GER
tain novelty. Light colored glace silk
waists with a tiny white figure also make
up very effectively and are inexpensive.
Other waists, composed of heavy cream
coIered or white all-over lace, form and
complete In a dressy style an evening
toilette, of which the skirt may be of any
color, or even black. This sort of waist is
built up over white or cream-colored sat
in. Many are made with a mobile poke,
thus rendering them susceptible OF being
worn low or high at will. They open IN
front over a finely plated chemisette of
white mousseline de Sole. and require no
other trimming, the lace being so arrang-
ed hi the festoons of the design. be II
floral or otherwise, form the two side
lines of the waist falling over the chemis-
cite.
Black lace in very heavy weaves is also
employed for this style of corsage, anu
over a rather bright colored foundation
has a very handsome appearance. Many
of these all-over laees are sold READY
s~pangled or with their design outlined by
fine gold or silver thread.
For this purpose colored metallic is also
much used and looks extremely Well Tor
evening wear, the lining being chosen
to correspond.
In the more modern styles many waists
are composed Of white or black chiffon
closely SHRED, covering in this manner
the whole of the black or white satin I'M
der-bodice. The shirrings of the ehlf1on
are divided by rows of black or gold
s~pangles sewn very closely together, or
In some cases a narrow sring of pearls
or simiii.
Entire white waists are much seen ac-
companying either a white, black OF col
ored skirt, thu enabling a frequenl
change Of costume at but little expense.
Another idea FOR fashionable waists is
to iesye .i,eni open in front. showing a
vary narrow .hem.set;e Of white. black Or
seraa contrasting -olors. This narro"
ooeniag IS crossed by .iny straps OF flo-
,,an or velvet. coune@f-Es she TWO outer

makers in Paris.
The lace blouse is the { cided novelty
of tha season, which is necessary to every
wardrobe. One is made in deep cream
lace slightly full, but otherwise plain
and can be worn over any colored detaen-
able sink slip; its moderate price, too, IS
not the least of its recommendation
other lace blouses are there, too, in album
dance. a pretty one being trimmed with
friIls of baby ribbon.
For the coming garden fetes musnns
and foulards are to reign supreme.
The newest muslins have the daintiest
designs of r~osebuds, violets and forget
me-nots.
The flowers seem scattered with a
careless grace.
Many of the patterns surpass those OF
former years, as there has been a plan
