apple Blossoms and Danodil Linens
Among tho Seasons Novelties.
Linens are decidedly the mode this
summer, and surely nothing can be
loveller than the "bloom" linens,
whose names of apple blossom. daffo-
dill. wild strawberry and hawthorne
reveal the secrets of their exquisite
tones of faint pink, soft yellow or
tender green. But with all this poesy
linens have a strength of texture
which makes them capable of with
standing any amount of hard wear,
and with machine stitched trimmings,
or cuffs and collar of guipure lace,
form an effective costume at little
cost.
Some of the new organdie muslins
are veritable things of beauty. and at
conveniently low prices, while there
Is dainty charm about white mus
lin with openwork stripes, where the
pattern consists of cluster of pink
roses caught together by bows and
trailing ends of pale blue ribbon. Any
one must fall willing victim to cool
looking all-over design of maldenhair
fern In freshest green and white, to
be worn over a colored slip with rib
bons to match the fern.
So soft and shimmerlng are some
Of the cotton foulards that they would
readily pass for silk # they were not
marked with the price of twenty-five
cents yard, with finer qualities at
forty cents. They make UP prettily
with trimmings of lace insertion in
waved lines, and bolcros of the same
cotton lace.
With summer fabrics at such mod
crate prices 1t Is possible to include
4 number of washing gowns and
blouses in ones outfit, which are an
absolute necessity to the woman who
would present pleasing picture Of
dainty freshness and cool comfort
even on the hottest of dog days.
In the way of trimming lace reigns
supreme and ON every portion of the
costume that affords an opportunity
for its display there 1t is in evidence.
Cluny and Irish laces are much in
favor, owing, perhaps, to the recent
visit of the Queen to Ireland. and the
efforts of the Irish Industries Assocl-
alton to expand the market in that
direction. At any rate, the lace Is
beautiful and effective in fichu, collar,
bertha or fiounce, and many machine
made limitations are used to good pur-
pose on gowns of linen or cotton.
Russian lace, in the real fax color, is
much sought after for garments of
light weight cloth in pastel shades
or in black taffeta silk Narrow black
French lace will be used extensively
for trimming these cotton gowns.
Some charming effects are being
shown by the leading tailors In soft
est cloths of delicate pastel colorings,
embroidered in an openwork design
which shows the soft simmer of satin
beneath, in either paler shade of the
dominant dress color or some effective
ly contrasted tone. In all black these
gowns are particularly elegant, with
no touch of color visible, even in the
underskirt. An example of this was
recently shown in black cloth of the
lightest possible weight, with an adj
mlrable effect in the well cut bolero,
which was entirely covered with em-
broidery, which figured again, both
rs bordering to the overskrt and
the closely pleated fiounce beneath.
Palest fawn cloth over ivory is one
Of the most fascinating of color eff
fects.
An innovation for summer millinery
Is the velvet fruit just from Paris. 1t
Is produced in all colOrs impossible to
nature, such as cherries in turquoise
blue and apple green. besides red, yel-
low and black. Small velvet peaches
are delicately shaded from pale green
or yellow to pink and scarlet, while
luscious Strawberries in black or nat
ural shades are studded with pale
yellow seeds and mounted with their
own green leayes.-New York Tribune.
