II been in the Islands, just what Is
necessary in the way of a wardrobe.
Necessary, to put it more clearly IN
a. hue different from what is worn at
The Coast. Because, OF course, one does
have to dress very differently here than
al the summer resorts even of the bay
vicinity. Consider the pretty Newman
and Levinson, Schonwasser and White
House frocks which the fair damsel,
bound summerward, takes with her into
the country of California Even the
economically inclined finds them suf
ficieHtiy serviceable there, but they GER
tainly don't pay to wear here. Why!
they are hued with silk and be-ribboned
and bedecked with all sorts of unwash-
abIes. One respiratory afternoon
wrecks such gowns. and with no dry
cleaners to help out, they must simply
be taken to pieces before going into the
hands Of our Portuguese Iaundresses.
All of which means having to have an
unlimited number to keep gong. How
much more sensible to have clothes
made more simply-and so they can be
laundried often and easily
a certain young married lady who has
recently returned from San Francisco
is being greatly complimented on the
taste she has displayed in the replen-
ishing of her wardrobe. She is more
fortunate than many in having a beau
tiful fresh complexion which allows Of
her wearing almost any shade and she
has a gown for almost every color. Her
compliments are not, however, on The
number of her dresses but on the ex-
quisite simplicity they display. and al
though suggestive of the very latest
mode, they can all be laundried easily
as often as need be. One is an ecru
lawn made up over white. The skirt
has one deep fiounce attached to the
tor which reaches below the Knees and
this top is trimmed with several up
and down rows of maline. A single row
Of this lace finishes the bottom and
serves as a heading to the flounce, and
it is transparently inset. The flounce is
hemmed quite simply round the bottom.
while at the top there are groups Of
line tucks where ii joins the upper skirt.
The lower part of the bodice is also
tucked until it joins a lace and lawn
collar, where the lace inserting runs
crossways and the collar fits the neck.
The high wrist bands are of lace and
lawn and they finish the sleeves which
become wider near the bands.
Another is of tucked black wash
lawn made over pink lowered Organdie.
which gives the same effect as though
some costly brocade were used. or print
ed silk mousseline. AT the bottom of
the skirt of this one the tucks are al
lowed to fall loose into a fun flounce.
Such a gown could, of course, be car
rried out in white if preferred.
Still third is a pale green organdie
with the gored shirt finished at the bot
tom with two tucked founces. entirely
untrimmed. The waist, which buttons
In the back, or rather is "clamped" to-
Eether, is made OF bias tucks in inter
walls OF four or six which slope down
ward toward the middle of both front
and back. The neck is simply finished
with a ruche; and yet the gown as q
whole is diaphanous and fairy-hke in
the extreme.
This same lady thinks brocades make
capital tea gowns, as they do, because,
like the figured silks. they require so
little trimming. She has one of the
inexpensive gowns of this description
made on the plan of a long coat with a
fitted back and straight front that opens
HlGe 10 SHOM al GnuEtShAhA anu Nti4'N
front of white satin covered with black
lace.
For a couple of her dresses-One a
cream and one a pale yellow-she has
an ultra smart short bolero made up of
Irish Point lace. which fastens on the
left with four gold buttons. This makes
a charming accessory in case she wishes
to enrich an otherwise simple gown, for
wear at a luncheon, or informal dinner.
And OF course such an effect is in eX-
ceedfngly good taste just now when
touches of gold are so employed.
This same lady has brought with he:
the newest things in the way OF hats.
and yet all are thoroughly well-adapted
TO our tropic land. One is actually OF
those late French fslts, and thoug n
that sounds warm, hers doesn't in real
ity look anything but Charmingly cool.
it's so simply trimmed, having on IL
only a novelty scarf Of white silk run
with hues Of blue. and it unites in
making with a pretty pique skirt and
dainty ensemble. Another is n fiat
brimned white straw with a soft drap-
cry OF liberty-silk, polka dotted. I'm
der the brim are pink roses nesting
against black velvet bows, that lift the
hat a bit at one side. The whole effect
is toward fresh, summary picturesque
ness and yet it leans toward practi-
cability in that il shadows the face as
one so needs under our hot sun.
Which suggests. by the way. II has
