White everywhere; that is the pretty
not in the summer dress.
In the Tower
Thousands of Parisians who have
never visited the Eiffel Tower until
t.is season are taking it in now; and
some of the handsomest toilettes of the
year can be sketched there any fine
day 1t is the dress resort of fashion
able women; and never a summer wa
tering place that boosted prettier or
more elaborate gowns.
An Eiffel Tower dress was of silk
gauze in sapphire hue The short
tunic had pointed front, trimmed
around the lower edge with a board
band of Chantilly lace, while panels
| or the same lace extended from the
belt downward. Nothing could have
been palmer than this tunic, for there
was not particle of fullness in It; not
| as much as looping.
The skirt was composed entirely of
! panels OF the lace Joined by the narrow
est bands of sapphire ribbon. A board
band of this lace exhibited around the
| skirt, below which were two very full
SUITES of sapphire gauze, each edged
with its narrow ruching of gauze.
The bodice was made of. the sapphire
gauze, built over foundation of white
taffeta. A bolero front was composed
OF lace, Joined with ribbons and trim
med with bands of fine Chantilly.
Across The front there were bands of
white satin ribbon crossed to form a
very pretty trimming. The belt match
ed the ribbons on the breast.
Such gown is undeniably expensive
and none but the woman of expensive
purse can attempt it. though some very
pretty things are possible with substi-
tutes.
Pretty Cheap Laces.

or coarse canvas, while cheaper lace
can always be used in place of the rare
lace. They make so many inexpensive
laces this year that one is never at a
loss to find one that is no dear.
In place of the silk lining they are
using Innings of lawn, but these are not
cheap as two and three thicknesses are
required. Under a skirt of gauze there
must be one of chiffon falling over one
OF lawn, and if the effect is not sufi-
GENTLY soft there is another of null or
tulle. Skirt after skirt falls in long
soft curves nearly to the ground when
all must cascade around the feet.
The tendency in skirts is toward the
long lines, and, in many o. the verv

is beautifully curved. This gives the
classic outline, though it certainly adds
two inches to the waist line IF not
more. An attempt at a narrow belt is
carried around the waist, very low in
front, to describe deep curve, but
there is no belted waist any more. All
waists are large. and the little. slender
