Toilets for summer Naturally that is
all the Tnodstes are thinking of at the
present time. Varied and beautiful are
these creations and therefore profitable.
Yet there is note of sadness in the &C
cents of those who are not regarded as the
glasses of fashion and the molds of form
where tailoring is concerned. for verify this
summer has seen the tailor-made girls in
ming. The wel-built tailor-made damsel
seldom looks her best in shimmering, flmy
chiffons and muslins and laces, and in that
less-favored sisters have often much the
advantage of her.
This season il is not so much the muslin
and organdie girl as the trim tailor-made
fouiard and pique girl who captivates the
eye at the summer resorts She has dash
and picturesdueness that makes her easily

Her gown was of cream pique. The skirt
was trimmed with bands Of blue and dfvid

Gowns Of black Swiss dotted with white
are effective on the svelte and dash!ng

Satin foulards are the fabrics most IA
voref for the handsOmer summer gowns,
and Of these the most popular are white

spots. Transparent lace yOkes seem to be
especially adapted to the quality of this
material and are usually used in the make
