help OF a seamstress, some of the pref
TEST summer frocks imaginable, trim
med with collars and fichus of lace
which she can make herself in Honi-
ton and Battenburg patterns, and with
dainty silken embroideries.
The finest lace is in the form of
round collar. chokerless and deep
enough to reach almost to the elbows,
and she may fasten it in front with
quaint old-fashioned brooch of gold
and jade. This is to complete frock
of white dimity which has a quarter
inch stripe at wide intervals of old
Fashioned grass green, quite the
quaintest Of muslins. The skirt should
be circular one laid in two rows of
shirrings about the very short-waisted
belt of grass green ribbon, which ties
behind in a bow with streamers to the
hem of the frock. where there are two
narrow bias ruffles of the muslin
edged infinitely with little Honiton
braid. Little of the bodice shows
under the handsome collar, but it is
simply gathered softly down under
the ribbon belt. The unlined sleeves
indeed, the frock has no lining at all
, are gathered into the armholeS, but
are drawn tightly down about the arm
by a broad band of shirring just above
Z the elbows, ending in ruffle of the
muslin edged with Honiton braid.
The frock is to be completed with
red shoes and red stockings and leg
horn fiat. trimmed solely with green
rose leaves in a garland effect.
The petticoat to be worn with such
a frock is a fitted scant affair, hanging
from very short-waisted bodice with
shoulder straps; the waist line show
ing under the gauzy muslin must, of
course, be yelled in straight lines to
carry out the directoire effect and it
must be corded to fit that the slender
effect may be retained. Fine white
nainsook is used with a mass of ruf-
fles, valencienes edged on the shaped
fiounce from the knee down.
A Battenburg collar in sailor shape
with long revers in front that reach
to the waist line is to adorn gown
is to be killed in the fashionable man
ner in vogue today. Quite a differ
ent affair it is from the killed skirt
of a decade or so ago, when straight
breadths were thickly plated into the
belt band This skirt is accurately
circular and the box plaits are the
merest tucks set widely apart, stitched
and gradually growing wider toward
the knees. where they spread open to
5 give a rather scant flounce effect. In
! khaki this skirt has no end fetching,
\. especially when it has a plated bodice
ito correspond, its front slightly
Couched over the sharply pointed belt
/, of white taffeta ribbon-a belt that
is drawn out widely behind, but which
is gathered down into point in
front to be fastened with tiny white
pearl buckle. The lace sailor collar
trims this bodice smartly, its points
meeting the belt buckle, and the
plastron built Of tucked white silk
muslin with a choker to match with a
narrow shaped motif of Battenburg
clasping it's lower half and forming a
slight downward point in front The
sleeves are plated and stitched with
white and end with lappet of lace.
She will wear the correct white straw
sailor hat, whatever that proves to be
later in the season.
Her embroidery may take the form
OF bouquets of tiny flowers done in
many colored silks, but in conven-
tional effect, stitched straight over and
over with no attempt at shading or
veiring, in manner especially deco
rative. These aer scattered at broad
intervals over four-inch widths oil
white taffeta ribbons. and are to be
mare with alternating hoops OF white
valenciennes insertions to form an
enchanting little skirt over pales rose
silk foundations, the hem to be finish
ed with a rufie of valenciennes. 1t is
to be gathered slightly all about the
waist-line, and will drag ever so lit
tie. giving a very quaint effect, which
is added to by the high taunt girdle OF
folds of rose pink taffeta fastened II
front in double breasted fashion witt
old-fashioned paste buttons whicf
are the cherished relics of grand
mothers treasure box. The little low
necked bodice is built entirely OF en-
circling narrow rufles of vaienciennei
lace, caught on each shoulder with Ole
paste buckles and having the eutes
little shoulder caps of lace insertions
sewn together and edged with tin!
beading, through which a narrow PM
ribbon was run and tied saucily on I'M
outside of the arm. Some Deautilu
long white lace mitts sent to her re
Gently from Paris are to be worn VIII
this enchanting dancing froek mex
summer-they are of the finest OF val
encienens lace and reach almost to IN
shoulder, the hand piece just reyealln
the pertty tapeirng fingers and modes
girlish rings. Pink silk slippers wit
a white lace rosaceous on the toes ar
to be prepared later.
