of cloth; even to the touch it was like
cloth, Its advantages are that it washes
so well. The embroidery, which may be
simply set over the duck. extends down
one side and around the foot, also
around the hips. The waist was pro-
fusely trimmed with it.
They are making pique In many
weights, some of the pique being quite
manageable. so that it is really a pleas
ant waist material. Other grades OF
pique are very heavy and are more
suitable for coats and skirts. A pique
coat can be worn over a dotted null vest,
to which is attached the stiff collar and
the broad fiat white necktie.
One of these delightful yachting gowns
was of China blue bunting. trimmed with
blue and white checked taffeta. The wide
sailor collar of silk opened over a vest
and stock of white silk muslin, laid in
fine tucks.
two ~wing-shaped revers buttoned on
the sailor collar with round. clear, white
glass buttons. and ended in a point at
the belt. The bloused waist was trimmed
with bands of the checked silk laid in
three tucks. Two rows went around the
figure and also around the sleeves at the

new habit style, with no fullness at all
across the back, and. fastened in front, a
little to the left under folds of the silk.
Around the hips were tucked bands OF
SILK, and also at the foot of the skirt.
A belt of white kid embroidered in sill
yer paiIlettes. was worn with this gown.
Another costume that was unusual in
color and very pretty was of cream
white serge, trimmed with cream silk
braid and sea green taffeta.
The skirt was SO carefully fitted that
no fullness showed across the back oA-
cent to fall around the feet in graceful
folds.
This skirt buttoned down the centre
front with crystal buttons caught
through braid loops. A broad bend OF
the silk was around the skirt IS inches
above the hem in front and sloping down,
at the back. This was brought over in
scrolls and lattice designs with braid.
The Jacket was a clese-ftting little
Eton. with the silk and braiding carried
deliberately across the back and sleeves
and down the jacket fronts which open
ed over a dainty white tucked tafeta
shirt waist.
A very inexpensive but effective yacht
ing gown was made of coral-colorea
pioue. plaided by fine black lines and
trimmed with white duck. The short
holaro worn over a hit dotted muslin
shirt waist, had a narrow sailor collar
of duck laid over ~springing revers OF
duck. which tapered down to shghtiy
below the belt. F
The skirt was scant and the hidden
box pleats in the back were held down
by tiny white cotton buttons A sttcneo

white duck was stitched just above II,
directly in front.
Sailor hats are the most popular,
though soft caps are used; the smartest
sailors show a soft silk scarf tied around
with large loops and ends failing over
the hair These scarfs are in delicate
shades of rose, mauve and ~rauoi ana
