fichus, great use has been made
OF point Arabe and point de .Venlse
laces, Some of the weaves are of rather
)heavy design like those of Russian
guipure, and these now come In widths
varying from two to ten inches. These
are likewise edgings. insertions and APP
plique pieces to match, and some OF
the narrow lace bands are finished with
ertre-deux, through which tiny satin or
velvet ribbons are threaded.
Bodices fastening at the back, with
short sleeves finished with lace frills
that reach to or slightly below the ell
bow, are among the very favorite styles
of the summer for youthful wearers
and for slender matrons; they are
feature of many of the evening toilets
of lace, net crepe de Chine and summer
brocade in mauve and silver, gold and
reseda, rose du Barry and dove color,
etc. The backs of some of the latest
modes are not round, but slightly Ipint-
ed and quite smooth and are laced, in
stead of being hooked invisibly.
There is a revival of black and white,
sea green, pale rosy violet, or pink and
silver, blue and gold shadow taffetas,
are exquisite garden party gowns of
Indian null and mousseline brillante
which are masses Of lace, the skirt trim
med with bands of insertion and lace
fiounce. The waist made of puffings of
the null, has entre-deu an inch in
width. The sleeves are elbow length,
there is a cascade of lace from shoulder
to belt down the left side of the bodice
and it fastens at the back. The silk
lining is cut away like that of an even
ing bodice.
A Weile costume Of white pique has
the skirt made with two inverted plaits
at the back and finished with a flounce
of embroidered pique. The seams are
simply stitched on each side and not
strapped. The Elton jacket has pointed
open fronts with revers and large SAIL
o. collar of the embroidery. The bell
shaped sleeves reach just below the ell
bow. En- suite with the gown are three
shirt waists, one of white taffeta with
tucked yoke and cuffs, another of pink
and white dotted satin foulard, the third
of pale blue linen fagot stitched in white
on the front plait and fiat tucks that
form the yoke.
Many of the fete gowns are elaborate
enough for the most fashionable evening
functions-embracng French organdie,
liberty silks, grenadines, bareges chiff-
ons, India musins and silk-warp veil
ings all being used. A Raudnitz model
of pale gray lk-dotted null, exquisite
ly sheer and fine and of a lovely tint, is
made over gray peau de sole of the
same shade. The skirt is f1ounced to the
knee, and it is sheath-like about the
hips, and the demi-train has a decided
flare at the bottom. The shirred bodice
with elbow sleeves is simplicity ITSELF.
Il has a half-low lining. A soft stock
collar and sash Of pink liberty silk, and
gray zephyr straw hat with malines
drapery and pink roses complete the cos
tune.
The pretty French zephyrs, lawns and
batistes are finished with lace garnished
circular f1ounces or with ruches or
small tapping frills trimmed with rib
bon. Some of the ruffles have tiny
edge of lace, and the entire width of
the three frills does not greatly ex-
coed three inches. Two similar clus-
tiers are placed halfway up the length
of the skirt at equal distances apart.
Handsome gowns of pink, ciel, or pTfm-
rose mousseline de sole. French ogran-
ole, point d'esprit, ETC., are trimmed
with a deep graduated accordion plaitei
flounce of waved ruff1es of the goods,
with twisted velvet ribbon and a
standing empire bow as finish to the
top of the f1ounce.
Among the popular evening sleeves
the long wrinkled Bernhard style is still
much used for diphanous fabrics, also
the model in sort of reversed mutton
leg shape, so that the fullness is all al
the wrist, where it is gathered into a
decorated band. Elbow sleeves finished
in countless ways are a great feature
of transparent gowns, one pretty bel
style being slashed on the flaring por.
tion the inside of it trimmed with fril
OF accordion1plaited lace and chiffon
which showed through the slashings or
the outside of the sleeve.
The new pique skirts are very con-
vincing representatives of the many va.
riations in tucking and plating, ant
their continued popularity through tht
summer season as we'll. All the caryine
modes which have so aided in forminf
the fashionable procession during tn,
Spring ara reproduced most charmingl,
among tn. seasons most fetching gowns
and whether they are tucked all arount
or not, the boxp plat almost invariabl,
finishes the skirt at the back. Rows O
