pensive fabrics by reason Of the elabor
steuess Of it's designs. A gown Of thi
material designed for midsummer wea
is handpainted with yellow cowslips will
the flowers outlined with gold threads
The whole effect is that OF a rich EN-
broidery, and made over a sheeny foun
dation Of louisine the suisse must be &C.
knowledged beautiful.
Another Of these dresses is in pale blu
appliqued with white violets oil lorisin,
set upon background Of pale ecru lace
There is deeper border Of the trimming
heading the graduated flounce upon the
skirt and it is also used to outline a soil
chiffon vest upon the bodice. The
| iounce upon the skirt depends from a
yoke shirred in scallops all around the
hips and fitting very close to outline
contour Of the figure
While disphanous fabrics are being
trimmed with tie softer qualities of
silk the order OF things is being reversed
in the case of the latter. Flouard gown g
trimmed with dotted white muslin are
| decidedly novel and chic. One OF these
frocks Of pastel green satin ioulard, scat
tered over with sprays Of flowers, had a
deep shaped hounce on the skirt of
white muslin with unpretentious black
spots The sleeves had also elbow puffs
Of the musllne, and the bolero opened
over a vest Of this material.
Could anything be prettier in the way
of a simple little coat than this? 1t is
Of pongee, lose coat reaching about TO
the knees. 1t is plain on the outside,
with a stitched band of taffeta around
the edge, which is broken by slashing,
slash at each side and one in the back,
strapped across with narrow pongee
straps. There is double pongee collar
slashed at back and sides, and fastened
in the front with knot of taffeta. The
lining is charming, both as to looks and
cooness. It is OF soft palm leaf de-
sign in muslin in Oriental designs,
having line o! heavy lace appliqued
down the front TO make a finish when
the coat is thrown open.
Three or four rows Of narrow satin
ribbon feather-stitched together, one
above the other, with the long ends left
10 draw around the neck and fasten 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 ribbons whose ends are tied in
tiny bows either in front or back, are
another simply but pretty idea for those
who like variety in their neck wear.
Dainty little dressing jackets are an
indescribable comfort in ones own bou-
doir on a hot day. Flowered organdies
are pretty material for these. A
charming sacque is made to hang loosely
from the shoulders, with a broad van
dyke collar edged with lace and inser.
tion falling over the slight decolletage.
The sleeves below the collar are treated
in the same fashion as the collar, the
Jacket being finished off with large
satin bow at the front and smaller bows
at the elbow.
Fancy buckles are much admired now
on 8 s'ippers, circles of amethyst or pearls
being frequently used in this way. A
fascinating little slipper was worn at
recent evening party upon which was
BET a buckle consisting Of circle of
pearls, through which satin ribbon had
been passed, and tied in bow just
above the buckle.
A strip of Oriental trimming is much
used to cover the pleat in the middle OF
the front of a shirt waist, but il must be
worn with a stock Of the same material.
The strips may be used merely az a
decoration, but II stitched TO
the waist, it is more harmonious TO use
them also for the narrow yandike cuff
The hand made Russian lace collars
are extremely rich and stylish, aud look
we'll with the Persian and Oriental
so much seen this season.
The ends Of boas are becoming longer
and wider. With the increase In width,
painting il the chosen decoration, and
some of the results are exceedingly ar
tistic. Flower rufiies, too, are most
popular, by way Of novelty. A boa OF
chiffon lilies, with touches Of green vel
vet for leaves, displayed in a London
shop is a perfect little work Of art.
A lovely hat for garden party 10 Of
ecru straw, the brim being filled with
exquisitsly colored blue forget me'nOts
and long white ostrich plums sweep
ing over the front and side.
One can buy hat pins, stick pins, and
spoons, with attractive little golf club |
handles, the pins are spoons standing on
and ia golf club cases.
A charming linen gown is made with
white embroidery running the length
Of skirt and waist. This embroidery is
in flowers and combined with il is
pattern OF leaves in semi.conyentional
design made Of white cloth sppliqued on
At the edges with an embroidery stitch.
In many smart agd finely made
crowns the buttons fasteu with loops
rather than buttOnholes.
