The new style OF shirt waist with side
phats, On either sid turning toward the
shoulder. is especially good in this material,
and is often a without any colors. two
rows Of white pearl buttons finishing il
down the front. Pongee silks come in
other colors besides beige, in delicate blues,
pinks and violet tints which are cbarmingly
made up in summer gowns.
Each week seems to reveal some now
feature In the cotton dress fabrics one OF
which is grass cloth In white, with a stripe
OF close weave. Then there are new fine
lawns with open work stripes, lawns with
narrow lace insertions woven stripe fashion
into the material.
You see this in all white, in white with
ecru lace, in white muslns with black dots
and black insertions, and in plain white,
with black insertions. Another wash fab
rio Is a kind Of scrim with a satin stripe
which is only IS cents a yard.
More beautiful thar all the other wash ma
terials are the embroidered white batistes,
which come by the yard and in lovely
pattern dresses as well. II Is the COM
bination OF exquisite close embroidery
and very open rneudllOn designs winch
makes this material SO attractive this season.
and the beauty OF the new embroidered
batistes Is unprecedented. in fneness Of
needlework and designs,
AL the early predictions as to the styles
Of skirts are borne out in the advance in
stallment Of new models carried out In
the foulards and muslins. They are either
accurately cut and nodded to the hips,
with abundant fare at the feet. or shirred
or plated around the hips II the material
is very thin and the figure will admit Of an
extra fulness.
Grace Of outline is still the battle cry Of
fashion 30 We need not expect any panniers
or bustles for some time. The fashionable
fabric which Is most popular is the one
which will respond to every movement
Of the figure. Yet here we are in the midst
Of brocade and MORE silks again.
However, while they are rich and elegant,
| they are soft and pliable and seem to have
nate ialized for the matron's benefit most
especially. Young women will hardly
give up the soft clinging ~diaphanous fabrics
so suited TO youthful grace.
One thing which lis very apparent among
the new gowns in sight, Ia hat tucks have
not gone out Of fashion. On the contrary
they seem to have renewed their usefulness

in one Of the illustrations, where the entire
front Of the gown il of white chiffon ar
ranged In large tucks.
Chiffon with embroidery forms the collar,
and the gown is Of pale blue tafreta embroid-
cred with blue silk and gold. A novel

Partisan dress designers has brought out

again where II joins. Each section is
shirred to the othe: with tiny Outstanding
frills, and the lower one spreads out into a
very full ~founce.
The skirt joins the tablier at either side
and the edges are finished with rosette bows
OF narrow black velvet ribbon, three or
four strands carried from one TO the other
all the way down. Some of the new silk
muslin gowns show the gathered skirt
with an elaborate inserting Of lace motifs
from the knees down.
One idea for skirts which has been car
ried out in some OF the dressy winter gowns
is to make the deep circular founce Of diff
ferent material from the upper part. For
example, the founce may be Of black velvet,
inset with four or five rows OF irregularly
edged lace insertion. while the other half
OF the skirt is of black spotted net. striped
In vertical lines with black velvet ribbon
or stitched bands Of black silk.
The sleeves and yoke should match the
upper skirt, the lower part of the bodice
the lower skirt, The effect OF this com
bination all in black made over white is
very good indeed.
This model Is shown again in black silk
and silk net. the latter, plated, forming
the deep hounce over pale blue silk. The
upper skirt of silk is striped with lines OF
open stitch, showing the blue lining. An

"Women's odd ideas Of the different
