We do our best, and the 18th of June
is, always red letter day, and per-

man inside the ring. Quite little

Every season produces its one little
speciality in dress, and this year, from
all accounts it seems to be the bowl
ing dress the semi-athletie woman
affects. The bowling produces by
odds the best opportunities for show
ing OF lissome and graceful figure
to advantage, and the possessor of
nice outlines is very much keener
over the proper drape of her train
and fit of her sleeves when she sends
a, ball whirling over the boards than
she is TO make a high score and win
prize. For bowling in clubs and
evening parties-and l understand
there are to be many in the near
futufe-the short skirt and shirt
waist are as much out of place as
they would be at dinner party -
The correct suit is cream colored
drap de printemps stitched in clear
green and trimmed with bands of
ChnolrAd r.I
colored silk stitchings and bands of
the bright silk thead, the three
tucked rufflet on the skirt and the
waist open in front to reveal vest
of green chiffon embroidered in cream
colored dots.
This gown boasts a trail and
front long enough to touch the floor
as do all the summer skirts.

bridal fabric, and their deep cream,
almost golden tone, is rather intensi

trifiing matter. for the aspect of

The alternative to a lace draped
choice can here be made between

or embroidered in high relief. 1t goes
without saying that the last is the
handsomest, newest. and most ex-
