So many pretty, serviceable summer
dresses in the way of piques, linens OIL
mercerized cottons are shown, that one
hesitates before deciding, unless fortu-
nate enough to have several. Corded
piuue dresses are usually made in sim
pie manner, few tucks ON the skirt

| points. In colored piques, Insertion each
side of the front breadth adds greatly
to the general effect, and the Elton

green linen possesses the advantage of

AS THESE FABRICS ARE LIGHTER
thew are more deliberately made up: a
particularly stylish green linen costume
having a tIounce set on in plaits, with a
row of fancy white braid as a heading
and a second at the lower edge. The
skirt is in fine cluster tucks, and the
loose waist is also tucked with guimpe
to match, and large sailor collar, edged
by braid A red linen dress is made with

to the belt. A black and white fancy
pique skirt is laid in knife plaitings
from top to bottom, with Elton jacket
in similar STYLE, and around the neck
are four flat bands of black cloth,
stitched at both edges. Brown linen is
not ignored; at the same time there is
no novelty about it.
PLAIN SKIRTS
in these materials are made in three
pieces, a front breadth and two side
cores, which also form the back, and are
called ''circular skirts Either hand
some or inexpensive waists are the loose
front, with or without a guimpe, and the
Elton style, both open to fancifu]
adaptations, but constructed on that
basis. A make believe" cuff at the
elbow, or tucks below with the upper
part plain, bring about some unimpor-
tant changes in sleeves, and as matter
of course, the flare cuff remains in favor.
Belts embrace all widths and many ma
terials, the advent of the Elton being the
proba cause. Scarf sashes tied at one
side are very graceful, with their knot
ted silk or fringed ends, and lesser
scarf on the corsage just above, lends
additional charm. Wide fancy ribbon
sashes will be largely worn with plain
| organdies, and about four yards is the
requisite quantity.

COLLARS AND TIES
are in a thousand varieties, beginning
| with the simple silk or satin stock col
lar with jabot attached. Then come the
! butterfly bows of silk, lace or chiffon
with or without trimmed edges. Al
army of ties follows-lace, chiffon with
lace appliqued ends, fringed silk, crepe
de Chine, or soft silk, varying from an
inexpensive affair to wide, long ones
with lace insertions, leaves or figures
or embroidery. Then there are collar
cites or shoulder capes with any number
of chiffon frills, and, in addition, ex
quisite tichus of Grape or chiffon.
