/ liable and serviceable white satin skirt
/ Not so many seasons ago the black
satin skirt was the backbone of every
wardrobe. whether for winter or sum-
mer. but white, ivory or bone white
is the accepted rock of sartorial sal
walton at present. 1t is made as a drop
/ skirt on a rather limp taffeta basis.
and the taffeta support is neither stiff
/ fened nor faced at the edges. Just a
! hem is run round the foot and one
/ three-inch wide scalloped edged. knife
pleated flounce set on the outside.
Lace In Garlands.
! Upon this descends the satin sheath.
decorated with a knee deep fiounce OF
killed white net rUched at either edge
and often adorned with incrustations of
/ lace. That is one good mode for trim
ming The other is to gather. hip high
/ in the seams. narrow flounces of blonde
or imitation point lace. or to lay gar
/ lands of lace on the surface OF the
satin. Invariably a dip is given to the
skirt behind. and because of their trains
women have learned to dance capably
and gracefully with one hand. for the
right member is absolutely required to
| hold the train well above rude, tramp

brushes not in dry, and wears always
a discreetly festive air. the bodice Is

/ indeed. any wholly chiffon waist, is
quite demode. and it can be of col
ored silk or satin arranged judiciously
! with lace. The lace arrangement seems
/ to follow always the form of handsome
points, so laid on that the bodice is not
wholly decollette. In nine cases out OF
ten the waist is a part of the shell OF
some dress already worn to the death.
and restored to pristine loneliness by

Bali Bonnets.
At all the public and sem-public
balls this summer gay little head dec

types of dancing hat seen; small
capote of black or gilded white tulle

popular form, while long leaves made
of wired white lace edged with crimped
bebe ribbon. trims the hair admirably.
The Trianon Shape.

hat that does and must turn off the
face. The small close fitting. haring
brimmed Trianon shape is destined to
make itself a power later on. though
at present only the most advanced wo-
men are wearing it. In felt or velvet
ii can hardly fail to frame any face
becomingly and it is worn as comfort
ably with or without strings. How
ever. after fighting strings furiously.
the majority of women are succumbing
to their Establishments with rush II
you will just tum countrywards. the
reason why cannot fail TO be obvious.
Every second woman is wearing Il
Sally in Our Alley hat. thing that in
its naked form would be called a rather
dowdy leghorn or chip. in black or
white but under the new dispensation
is quite a vision Of sweetness The wide
eaved hat is Spitted through and
through by two long-legged pins that
make it fast fiat on the head. Round
the crown is laid a wreath of roses or
reed grass. or a pair of not very fresh
ostrich feathers. and then the crown
ing glory of the whole is the strings.
The receipt for these is about .wo
yards of pearl pink or wheat yellow
silk muslin, net or chlffon. hemmed at
either edge narrowly. finished at the
ends with lace and then in the middle
of this half yard wide scarf is drawn
into full bow. The bow is fixed right
on top the crown of the hat. or on the
brim behind. and the lengthy sash ends
of the scarf are drawn Gown and tied
under the chin. This is ALI the most
carefully prearranged coquetry. but il
is worn with an air of half country
simplicity that would do credit to Maud
Muller. and best of all il is distinctly
becoming to the average young face.
