The Sews.t Ft,hior..


Lace effects In hosiery will be very
popular for summer wear.
Now come tucked and machine.
stitched summer hats in straw, velvet
and tulle.
Metallic effects in feathers are be.
ing largely patronized by the best
milliners.
Pretty combinations os silk braid
ana narrow laces are seen among the
new trimmings.
Lace waists in delicate lovely de.
signs will be one OF the prominent
features Of fashion among evening
toilettes for the summer.
Three colors, most frequently seen
in the silk or ribbon trimming IS,
punched together and oil delicate
shades, are to be found on many hats
Newer than the pearl cuff buttons
for wash waists are the crochcted cuff
links. The white ones are of cotton
and will wash with the waists. There
are others in black and colors Of silk.
The array of airy, dainty summer
dress goods is most inviting, and
never before were such fine sheer
qualities and beautiful color effects
among everyday materials offered at
such reasonable prices.
Summer materials so far shown are
gauzy and thin, while silks are soft on
foulard and pongee lines. Laces are
so tilmy that when used ever the ever
necessary silk lining there is ne
broadening effect to the figure.
Butter color straw and black velvet
are as attractive as ever combined
this year. The omnipresent black
velvet ribbon in narrow widths, com.
bined with braids of straw the same
width, forms some of the attractive
hats.
Some OF the pretty fob chains won.
ea are wearing these days are made OF
scarabs, row OF them pendant. the
last little larger than the others for
the fob itself. The scarsbs are in
different colored stones, aud the little
chains are very pretty.
Foulards run In plain, pale, pastel
colored groundJ, with pronounced de-
signs we'll scattered about in black
that contrast marking the smartest
French ones. White designs on mid
die tones remain about the same as
last season, and count for good SER
vice.
Panue velvet, il has been said, is
not serviceable aud will no. be worn,
but most OF the new frocks have q
little touch OF it. usually in the belt,
with more at the neck and finishing
the hsriug cuff These Aaring cuffs
are seen on many Of the wash shirt
waists.
