FEMININE FRILLS.
Pretty Trifies That Go to Make Up
the Costumes Now in
Favor.

Those pretty crochetted cuff links
for wash waists come in every color and
different shades, so that it is possible
to match the heliotrope which one
wears. Shades which are not good
friends are aggressive, says the New
York Times.
Some of the prettiest stocks are those
of pique with the turnover collar and
tie attached, broad tie or one which
makes a simple little butterfly bow.
The ties are in all shades and designs,
some in pique and others in batiste or
some similar material, and are not
starched. The foundation of the col
lar is starch@d stiff and the turnover
part has enough starch to keep it in
shape.
The pretty little belts of pique are
in plain colors or stripes or different
patterns to match the shirts or ties, or
they may be worn without regard to
anything but a good combination OF
colors. They have the plain steel
buckle, which is easy to slip on or off,
as one end of the belt is buttoned under
meath to hold it. The holes by which
the size is regulated are set with cellu-
loid on the outer side. These wash
belts make a pretty finish to summer
costumes, and are often in better taste
than ribbons.
White stocks and ties of sheer lawn
which are actually made to wash are
also attractive. Some have turnover
points at the top, hemstitched with a
hemstitched bow, and others with a
tie plainly stitched to make bow and
ends to hang half way down to the
waist, None of these bought at first
class haberdashery are inexpensive, but
they are well made, and show it.
Something to be found at the depart
ment stores that is inexpensive and will
wash well is tucked linen stock with
tucked piece with buttonholes to
cover the band down the front of the
waist. These have been in all the sea-
son, and can be found now in some
places for IS cents apiece.
Some of the prettiest shirt waists in
lawn are in stripes, much the same
patterns of the thicker waists, but de-
lightfully sheer and dainty.
People who make good gowns say
that they use no box-plait skirt backs.
Those are to be seen in the ready-made
costumes. However, they are effect
i've in heavy wooden goods, but prettier
than the single box plat in any of its
variations, double or triple, are two
box plaits, each a couple of inches or
more wide. A gown worn by young
girl and made this way was attractive.
Summer wooden gowns are popular
in nun yelling. 1t takes the lead of
crepe de chine. Tans and grays are the
colors largely used, Il dull elephant
shade of gray is popular in Paris. Cluny
lace is used with the silk and fine wool
gowns, and valenciennes with the thin
wash gowns.
In most of the gowns of quiet shades
little color is put in at the neck in
the form of a stock and vest. The color
is not carried out at the waist and
sleeves in many of the gowns as earlier
in the season. Very little or no veIvtk
is used, with the exception of ribbon,
velvet. n narrow band of black ribbon
velvet furnishes the waist of some
pretty frocks. In some instances il
passes around the waist and is fas-
tened at the back with a short bow and
long ends hang down the skirt. In 9th
ers it is fastened in front with a short
how
