Quite effective morning dresses are
made of new cottOns that have under
gone a process called mecerizing, by
which silky sheen is impaired and
best of all, lis not impaired by washing.
Silk of linen, another material of the
season, forms very refined gowns and
has been made up into charmingly soft
and independent waists, showing mar
row stripes or small sprays set close
together, and more than passing atten-
tiOn should be given to lovely morn
ing dresses or waists of japanese wash
silk that after full experience, has
taken firm hold on popular esteem.
GARDEN PARTY GOWNS.
are delightfully."- picturesque in most of
the diaphanous fabrics worn for even
ing or in those light quality silks that
of late years, have done so much for
the identifying of womankind. They
look charmingly at all times, but es-
pecially under the trees of an afternoon
tatfeta being also worn for evening,
when it shows all the better, because
rather exceptional among numerous
gowns of mousseline, tulle, net or
point d'esprit. Crepe de chine can
| hardly be overestimated as an element
in dressy wear and either alone or in
combination, does wonders in its spec
lal line. A lovely dress worn by Miss
Astor at Newport Garden Party. was
of pale blue crepe de chine, embroid-
cred in morning glories, showing some
alterations of pink among blue in diff
ferent shades and over the front of the
lace corsage, was an embroidered scarf
of crepe de chine that crossed and was
confined on either shoulder byarosette.
CREPE DE CHINE
sashes are delightfully."- soft and give a
change from ribbon, which however, is
popular, other sashes being in net,
point d'esprit or gauze, these light fab
RIGS being trimmed of course on the
edges and ends and for such purpose,
narrow quilted satin ribbon is much
used, this garniture however, being
ubiquitous and appearing everywhere
on both thick and thin materials and
alike on gowns designed for utility or
show. 1t is really the trimming of the
season and does not come amiss even
on thick cloth. Belts gives a finish of
great neatness on evening gowns.
'Leslie." You cannot 90 amiss in
choosing white waists and for thick
variety suitable to cool days, select
duck or pique. The skirt also of duck
or pique, might preferably be of dark
blue trimmed with braid. Lawn is
suited to warm days and all are shown
ready made and finished with embroid-
cry insertion, cords or tucks. For af-
ternOOn or evening, you can have silk
mousseline, net or point d'esprit and
for the lighter styles just named, ruff
ties and narrow quilted ribbon would
be advisable. Collars and belts or
sashes of colored ribbon would give a
pretty change from all white.
"COra Cameron. The ideal news
paper correspondent is understood to
be an ubiquitous parsonage and let us
hope this may be markedly true of your
own special newsgatherer. Costumes
and hats are easily noted, but it re-
quires some adroitness to know what is
discussed in cOnclaves of fancy work
ers. Their verdict in the way of per-
fume, is unanimously in favor of Muir
ray & Lanman's Florida water and if
you are influenced by such opinion,
you will select this delicious article in
making up your list of toilet accessor-
les. 1t is really beyond compare.
"Tresses." The exaggerated roll
about the face, is happily on the de-
cline and in general, medium styles
prevail or often in place of the roll, the
hair may be moderately puffed, with
stray curls or frizzes.
Large Foot" Black slippers are
worn with the daintiest evening gowns
and would be your right choice.
