, - ARTS. July 6.-Those lag
- CARDS who put off providing
g.. themselves with a sufficient
supply of cool clothing are
now suffering for their
omission. Fortunately for myself, I had
anticipated that cool breezes would not
| always toy so enchantingly with the
leaves of the chestnuts, and. now that
| breezes of any kind are scarce and the
foliage is a trifie passe, 1 am very COM
Portable, thank you.
I have the most fetching gown Of
grayish blue linen to wear when walk
abroad The skirt is plated and stitch
ed over the hips, while the front is one
box plat stitched down each side.
With the gown goes a bOlero jacket
the cutest affair imaginable, with the
body plated and stitched and the
sleeves cut open from elbow to wrist in
order 10 show the full blouse sleeves
underneath. Small revers at the upper
and lower edges of the coat are faced
with scarlet embroidery. Cuffs and belt
naturally match the revers. With this
gown 1 wear very pretty blouse Of
white lace and toque Of white flowers
which is caught at one side with a bow
of dull white ribbon. You may believe
that the effect of combined blouse,
frock and millinery is very smart.
1 have white costume, admiral BILE IN
style, yet so inexpensive that I know
its cost is never guessed by those who
notice it. The lace which trims the gown
had; it was part of an all lace dress
Of a rather dainty flower pattern so
much the worse for wear that I meant
to throw it away when my maid Luz
cette, who is a thrifty soul, suggested
that l cut out the best portions and use
them with white lawn as the fOunda-
ton of a new frock. 1 saw that the ma
teriaI could be easily adapted to the
purpose. With careful cutting, we OBJ
tanned from the old gown a number of
bands of lace of different width. The
widest piece We used for skirt inser-
tons, while the smaller and better
bands formed the bodice and sleeves.
The rounded yoke we made of plated
lawn, and about it we arranged a deep
pointed collar Of plated lawn, bordered
with lace bands. The waist was skill
fully constructed of alternate plaitings
and rows of lace. and small bows were
judiciously used wherever the lace
showed signs of wear. The sleeves end
ed in points at the elbow, disclosing
flowing undersleeves of lawn, caught at
the wrists by band cuffs. The skirt, of
alternate broad bands of lace and rows
of plating, flowed out below in a series
of fiounces, each finished with lace
The richness of that frock's appearance
has deceived even the elect, who fancy
that I squandered for it a great deal
more than I would have dreamed OF
parting with for a white washable
dress.
Another of my cherished robes is an
organdie of delicate green. When 1
wear it, I am accustomed to wearisome
complimentary references to its appro-
priateness for sylvan surroundings.
