lawn party the other day, and, of
course, no other kind could be given
at Newport, that seems composed al
most entirely of rutfies. The material
was a white batiste, handsomely en-
broidered in scroll and floral design.
The skirt was made with a front
panel, and this was embroidered
down the center and along either side
with roses. The sides and back of the
skirt were made of ruffies entirely,
four of them, immense wide affairs,
that are embroidered in scallops
around the hem of each. Between the
waist line and the top of the first
ruffie are clusters of tucks bordered
with the embroidery. There is a
tucked yoke and vest and embroid-
cred bolero. The elbow sleeves are
finished with two immense embroid-
cred ruffies.
Another of these embroidered
gowns which was worn at the same
party was a smart affair of muslin
in delicate green shade, and
trimmed with lace insertion ruffies.
The skirt had four ruffies around the
bottom, with heading at the hem
of each through which was run black
velvet ribbon. Between the waist line
and the ruffies were alternate stripes
of lace insertion and beading. The
bodice was made with tucked vest
of white muslin, with the delicate
green, slightly full, on each side. 1t
had deep sailor collar and pointed
revers trimmed with the insertion
and beading. A belt of apple green
ribbon, with large rosettes at left
side. Paquin sleeves of insertion and
beading, with full undersleeves of
tucked white muslin.

season of variations in matters Of

In evening dress particularly there
is much charm. The glitter of Sc

net all combine to form an attractive

Ruffles Are a Feature
of the Summer Season
They Are in Use Upon Every Form and Variety OF Gown
and Are One Of the Seasons Vogues

ID UFFLES, ruffles, rufiles! They
IN are the vogue of the day in fash
ion circles. To be without ruff
9es is to be without style, and you
know the old saw that says one had
better be out of the world than out
of style.
1t matters not what the gown is
If it is to be stylish one and in keep
ing with the modern mode it must
have rutfles. While we must wear
| ruffies we may have them of size
to suit, for Dame Fashion leaves it all
to our own taste as to whether they
shall be small or large, wide or mar
row.
Then, too, the materials of which
they are made is a matter of person
oil choice. So long as we have the
rufiies they may be of self material
with the gown, or they may be of net,
of chiffon, of mouseline de sole or of
lace.
But the ruffle of itself is not all
that is demanded in this extravagant
season. 1t is not sufficient that we
bedeck ourselves in all the gorgeous
ness of the up-to-date ruffie, which is
a trimming worthy the gown of a
queen, but the ruffle must be trimmed,
and this may be done with tucks,
with hand or machine embroidery or
with applique of lace or silk flowers.
Such are the ruffles that are seen
upon the summer gowns of the sea-
son, and, in fact, will be seen through
out the entire summer, and, it is said,
well into the fall. On the summer
gowns they add much to the general
airiness, but with the heavier materi-
ais demanded for fall wear it is
doubtful if they will be so acceptable,
and, of course, if they are not their
popularity will be short lived. But
sufficient unto the day are the ruff
fles thereof, and let us glance at n
few of the beautiful summer gowns
that are so arrayed.
