PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
Tasty Trfhes and Airy Materials
That Go to Make Up the Sea-
sons Costumes.

Dainty little dressing jackets are an
indescribable comfort in ones own
boudoir on a hot day. Powered or
CANDIES are a pretty material for
these. charming sacque is made to
hang loosely from the shoulders, with
broad vandyked collar edged with
lace and insertion falling over the
slight decolletage. The sleeves below
the elbow are treated in the same fash
ion as the collar, the jacket being fin
ished off with large satin bow at the
front and smaller bows at the elbow,
says the New York Tribune.
A taking shirt waist for boating may
be made of coarse white bunting. The
sailor collar should be outlined with
red braid, several rows of the very
narrow kind being preferred, which
cross with lattice effect at the corners
A red belt and touch of red on the
outing hat is particularly effective.
Foulard gowns trimmed with dotted
white muslin are decidedly chic and
novel. One of these gowns of pastel
blue satin foulard, scattered over with
sprays of flowers, had a deep shaped
hounce on the skirt of white muslin
with black spots. The sleeves also had
elbow puffs of the muslin, and the
bolero opened over vest of this ma
terial.
Three or four rows of narrow satin
ribbon feather-stitched together, one
above the other, with the long ends
left to draw around the neck and fas-
ten with some quaint buckle in front,
make an extremely pretty stock and
one easily manufactured at home.
Collars made of beading, and threaded
through with velvet ribbon whose ends
are tied in tiny bows either in front
or back, are another simple but pref
ty idea for those who like variety in
their neckwear.
Fancy buckles are much admired
now on slippers, circles of amethyst
or pearls being frequently used in this
way. A fascinating little slipper was
worn at a recent evening party upon
which was set buckle consisting of a
circle of pearls, through which satin
ribbon had been passed, and tied in a
bow just above the buckle.
A strip of oriental trimming is much
used to cover the pleat in the middle
of the front of shirt waist, but it
must be worn with a stock of the same

merely as a movable decoration, but
if stitched to the waist, it is more har-
monious to use them also for the mar
row bandlilxe cuff.
A charming sleeve was seen on a
gown at a well-known costumer's
The Puritan oversleeve was fastened
to the shoulder with tiny straps, which
were finished with little buttons. The
undersleeve of lace yelling was iaunt-
lily pulled between the straps.
The handmade Russian lace collars
are extremely rich and stylish, and
look we'll with the Persian and orr
entail trimmings so much seen this
season.
The ends of boas are becoming long
er and wider. With the increase in
width, painting is the chosen decora-
ton, and some of its results are ex-
ceedingly artistic. Flower ruffles, too.
are most popular, by way of novelty.
A boa of chiffon lilies, with touches of
green velvet for leaves, displayed in
| a London shop, is perfect little work
of art.
A lovely hat for garden party is
of ecru straw, the brim being filed
with exquisitely colored blue forget
me-nots and a long white ostrich
plume sweeping over the front and
eide.
Black Chantilly lace on black and
white foulards is a strikingly effective
combination, and one frequently seen
among displays of handsome gowns.
