season that they seem to be positive
necessity as an accessory or every Wen
regulated outfit. Added to all the small
er fancies in neck wear are me menu
berthas OF expensive lace, the little pt-
lerines with long ends and the most
charming silk Scarfs with applique lace
on the ends. One fichu is made OF nous
seline de sole, trimmed with black Cnan-
tilly lace alternated with groups of
tucks Another fichu. very stylish, Is
made of chiffon in gathered frills sepa-
rated by rows of lace insertion run with
bebe ribbon. This is made on a shaped
foundation Of the chiffon fitting the
shoulders carefully. There are cape
collars of Venetian and Renaissance
lace: all sorts of jabOts, made OF lace
and chiffon: dainty collars OF lawn,
trimmed with lace; pretty, inexpensive
stocks of duck with narrow WHITE lawn
ties; ties of wash net finished with lace
edged rufIieS, and little turn-doWn col
lars of India muslin, finished with mar
row insertion.
Black taffeta silk Elton coats are orn-
amentEd with rows OF white stltchlng-

makes a very striking gown with
blouse waist fastened at one side with
rosette of pale green Liberty silk and
belt Of the same silk. A wide collar OF
foulard is covered with black lace, ana
the skirt has a deep-tucked tounce with
insertions Of black Chantilly set in
squares.
Suede gloves are very much worn. as
they always are in summer for the rea-
son that they are much cooler than the
glace glove. Pastel tints are the pop
ular shades.
Colored lawn patticoats have not US
urped the place occupied by silk skirts,
but they are a very welcome feature in
this department OF dress as they are
much cooler than silk They are worn
with cotton gowns chiefly and ought to
match the gown in color: some OF them
ara deliberately trimmed with lace
The Summer Boa.
One of the mere toys and pretty ad-
juncts of dress is the summer boa,
which is playing a conspicuous part in
the carriage and ballroom and on the
piazza These boas amount to nothing
as wraps, but certainly are beguiling
when thrown with apparent cArelesSnesS
around the neck and allowed to fall in
graceful ends of chenille cord or cas-
cades of plated chiffon and lace. The
latest Of these 'autour de cOuS" from
Paris present the appearance of gar
lands of flowers meshed in lace, or
caught in clusters upon chenille cords
A bewitchingly pretty boa of this kind
worn with a crepe de, chine gown of soft
steel gray was composed entirely of
overlapping rose petals, which were
studded with rhinestone spangleS. At
the ends Of the boa were several large
roses with open centers and chenille
strings hanging in tasseled ends about
six inches longer.
A violet boa was another charming
conceit. but this was not composed en-
tlrely Of artificial flowers, but was made
of spiral plaitings of pale lavender chif-
fOn. which was bordered irreguIarly by
artificial violet blossoms at the edge.
Just where the ends of the fluffy roll of
plaitings and vioIets met under the chin
was bunch of violets and green leaves
and a number Of narrow lavender rib
bOns with clusters of violets tied with
ragged rosettes of the ribbon. These ends
fall below the knee in the charming eff
fects of shower bouquet.
Lace Edge RuffIes.
Ruf7es, lace edged, plainly hemmed or
finished with fancy ruchings. are the
preferred garnitures for summer gar
ments for street, garden party, or house
wear THESE appear in varied depths A
1avortte method is to have them cut in
circular form so that the neces-
sary gathering is slight. A pretty
French model shows a shirred null
skirt finished with pointed ruffles each
edged with a fine guipure Iace-the
group being headed by an insertion of
the same. The bodice is of pale blue
taneta, with a yoke of tucked white
