acceptable for summer gowns. Fyringed
ends, or rather ends finished with fringe,
knetted into the sash itself, are a great
Improvement on any other finish, as the
weight Of the silk holds the sash down In
place. The softest satin sash ribbons are
figured with flowers, and shadowy butter
flies in the prettiest colors on pale gray
and ivory white satin, and many Of the
delicate shades as well.
That lace in generous proportions will
be q continued feature Of dress goes
without saying, as 1t still has some part
in almost every costume that Is made.
ALI the tendencies show that 1t will pre-
vail to greater extent than ever during
the summer. Everything which has d
lace effect, whether it is made of cloth,
panne or silk cut out in gufpure de-
signs, is to be more in demand all the
time, and anything decorated with ap-
plications Of lace will be in order. sAp-
plique lace designs In panne form yokes
and chemisettes In some Of the new mod
els, and panels, deep heunce trimmings,
or insertions in the skirt.
Three wide insertions Of lace encircle
the skirts. one of the hem, one little
below the hips, and one midway between
Another use of lace which Is evident
among the new gowns is for deep Jokes,
collars and various Jacket effects. Lace
gowns, beautif1ed with rosettes OF Liberty
ribbon, black velvet ribbon or taffeta silk
are moro elaborate than ever before,

NOVELTIES IN TRIMMING.
A charming novelty In trimming shown
In the department of lace effects Is called
pompadour renaissance: 1t is comhina-
ton of lace and a raised design which
gives 1t the appearance of embroidery,
SO 1t Is both thick and thin, and is a
handsome trimming for the light cloth
gowns. 1t comes in insertions of two
widths, and a deep edging. both Of which
are entirely new. Trucking bids fair--to
be In greater demand for trimming than
ever before If the advance models in slim
pie muslins and point d esprit net tell any
story of things to come. Some of the
gowns are tucked from the waist down
to below the knee In half-inch tucks rum
ming around and with only tiny spaces be-
tween. The bodice Is sucked around to
match, and the sleeves. toe, If you like.
There are some new white gowns
Brought out as early inspirations Of fash
ion which completely overthrow all the
old-tfme ideas Of sweet simplicity In this
particular kind of gown. Just one faint
hint about the price is enough to Danish
all thought of any simple effect. They
are complex masses of lace Insertions,
embroidery, and tucks Of finest lawn
from the yoke to the deep heunee which
finishes the skirt. This deep founce
seems to be a fayordte mode OF making
the thin gowns and 1t is sometimes made
of NULL accordion plated. It may be
trimmed with rows of lace insertion
above the hem or cut In scallop around
the edge and finished with a ruching Of
narrow lace.
Gathered narrow black satin ribbon and
endless rows Of black velvet ribbon trim
some of the new organizes In plain coL
ors. Black organdies trimmed with tho
gathered ribbon and black lace Insertion,
one or both with tucks In addition. and
worn over pink, white, or pale green
slips, will be one feature Of dress during
the coming summer. Black, and the exI
tremes Of pale, dainty eelors, are evident.
