chiffon?
Silk gowns are always useful and at
tractive for summer wear and it seems
to be rather fad eff the moment to have
them made up quite simply.
The tiny decolletage, just to show the
throat, is popular with the summer
frocks, and the black velvet ribbon, held
with some quaint enameled or jeweled
ornament, encirrles the throat.
The fancy for silk and satin fouIard as
q fabric which drapes gracefully, wears
well, has always a dressy appearance
and which appears in any number of new
designs and colorings has in no way di-
minished since the season began.
Grass linen gowns are trimmed with
the different shades of green and crimson,
and a number of dead white gowns show
colOred velvet trimming Not very much
of it is used ON one gown as yet.
All-over guipure or cluny lace, showing
a design of the medallion description is
brought into requisition for trimmings in
il novel manner. The medalliOns are cut
out and appIiqued on the skirt or with
shirts Of lightweight wooden textiles, but
colored on white in preference to black.
A curious fancy obtains in the conbi-
nation OF coarse lace with fine, and very
fine lace boleros may be seen trimmed
with a border of coarse guipure or Irish,
while Maltese and Cluny are to be found
in combination with a very fine esprit
net. Whole costumes in the princesse
style are made like this, bearing hchus
round the shoulders, and very novel they
are.
Among the seasons lace accessories are
shown any number of adjustable collars

The light and inferior supply Of vege-

fruit for the almost unObtainable vege-

that the price Of all fruit Is based to Il

of apples. Apples this year sell at SIS a
