many a slender figure. Beautiful. too,
were gariands Of painted taffeta flower:
that encrusted a white null robe. black
plumes and black tulle trimming the &C
campaigning black chip hat.
A charmingly dainty gown of cream
white batiste is made with close fitting
skirt with half train. finished with a num-
Der of overlapping ruffies. Across the top
Of the skirt and down the front is a piece
of heavy white Irish point lace In the
shape Of a stole. The lower part of the
waist is covered with a similar shaped piece
Of the lace. and plat band of it goes up
the front and into the collar. The con-
white of the batiste. as well as the con-
trast In the materials, is charmingly ef-
fective. Tho skirt which is worn over
the waist at the belt. is finished with one
Of the new satin-finished elastic belts and
pointed buckle. The finish of the waist at
the neck requires no tie nor ribbon but
now the inevitable string OF pearls. real
or imitation, as the case may be, serves
as an ornament The sleeves are of the
batiste in narrow tucks. but with deep
lace cuffs and lace points from the shoulder
nearly TO the elbow. The form is not lined
with silk. but is worn over a muslin lin
ing and a most carefully fitted silk petit
coat.
The leading idea In the newest cycling
costume Is that skirt and bodice should be
OF different materials. As to the stuffs
used. almost any of the thin summer cloths
are suitable. Sometimes a checked skirt is
worn with bodice of plain CLOTH This is
a costume that was. Of course. much worn
last year, but not by cyclists. To wheel
women II Is somewhat of a novelty. A
pretty cy cling dress carried out in this way
consists of a skirt. closely stitched round
the hem. Of checked brown cloth and an
open-fronted short coat OF nut-brown cloth
trimmed with stitching. The revers. collar
and cuffs are faced with white cloth al
most entirely covered with fine brown fancy
braid. The coat can be worn closed IL pre-
ferred. shirt Of soft white washing silk
and rustic straw toque are suitable ac-
compartments. skirt which answers for
either walking or cycling purposes is slight
ly draped or raised by tabs at the hips.
Cycling skirts are rather wider than Of
yore and are mostly finished round the hem
with stitching. In choosing a cycling COS
tune 1t Is advisable to consider a material
that does not readily show dust and one
that. though tolerably substantial. is light
wearing. Except for the stitching alluded
to. cycling skirts are untrimmed.

the bottom there is usually a narrow
double rufiie and another little ruche
heads the fiounce. The trimming of the
bodice. of course, corresponds with the
skirt.
AT all the garden parties one finds
that simplicity is the keynote Of the
dressing. Rich and elegant materials
would certainly be out of place among
the trees. The present picturesque
STYLES lend themselves admirably to out
of-door fete occasions. Fichus and ell
bow sleeves are quaint and effective.
The fiat, wide-rimmed hats, over which
roses run in seeming wild confusion, are
appropriate for wear with muslins and
organizes. Of course. the finest OF
fabrics and laces are used in the make
up Of garden party frocks. but. as 1
have said, the general effect Is SIM
plicity. In fact, all effort at elaborate
tiitclS Is phu
taste, no matter for what occasion gowns
are designed. But oftentimes to at
tain this very simplicity one must go
deep into ones pocketbook.
Fluffy boas and tulle scarfs are the
vogue, and when there is the least pos
sible excuse for wearing them, out they
come. In the evening one may count
the neck bows and the boas by the
score. The tulle scarf tied under the
chin is usually most becoming. 1t has
been told me by an authority that all
sorts of neck scarfs will be at the top
notch OF fashion just as soon as our
summer gowns are put aside for those
Of little heavier weight.

All marked changes in fashions 90 in
couples. With larger sleeves there is
more bouffant suggestion to skirts. Much
of this IS due to the addition of under
ruffies and founces that throw out the
skirt with only the suggestion of extra
trimming. Or ruffes and pleated flounces
may be added, perhaps half a dozen thick.
to make the most extreme kind of fulfil
ness about the feet. Then the pleated skirt
that ends in a sunburst of open pleats has
a popularity not at all diminished and .he

an adjustable girdle and stock collar are
made OF folds Of white surah alternating
with rows of narrow black velvet ribbon.
or wide black velvet ribbon is used alone,
with girdle belt bows. and ends that reach
to the hem of the skirt.
Closely fitted waists Of very sheer India
null or French lawn. made with graceful,
softly folded surplice fronts, accompany
many of the cool. dainty mourning-dresses
worn this summer. They have either long
scarf ends that encircle the waist and
fasten at the left side. or they follow the
conventional lines of the blouse. with a

mourning-waists are made of French
zephyrs. madras, and dimities. This sea-
son they have appeared in uncommonly at
tractive color blendings and very neat and
novel patterns.
At a recent garden party there were
quantities of Russian lace used on all sorts
of toilets. a lace that bids fair to super
sede all others in point of smartness for
the autumn as well as for midsummer.
Large sashes of Powered taffeta and OF
antique brocades showed well on soft white
or black frocks. TUNES Of crepe de chine
draped in Greek fashion were noticeable

three wide, dropping puffs from shout
der to elbow are much liked In gowns Of
very thin material.
The sleeve with pointed cuff is still
popular and the one illustrated in the
sketch would be a nice model for you to
follow in your next cloth or silk gown Of
tailor finish.
A sleeve that has quite an Oriental
effect begins to widen out from above
the elbow and is slashed up for quite
a distance, showing the sheer under
sleeve Of lace or muslin.
A new form of the Bishop sleeve Is
shirred in a number OF rows at the top
and shlrred TO form a narrow cuff ut
the wrist.
A sheer and silky white muslin was
the subject for another illustration. The
skirt was very long and hemmed up
plain. At the top 1t was shirred to form
a yoke. The blouse was very full and
the sleeves were drawn around the
