FRESH FEMININE FINERY.
Notes of the IIodes for TIL Ose Who Keep
Pace with the Latest in
rs Dress. (

hosiery is again very simple, gener-
ally of fine silk or brown or black.
Some of the smartest stockings are in
sertd with real lace, while with or
binary folk very fine Isle thread or
spun silk, in narrow ribs, is popular,
says a dress authority.
Large collars of every conceivable
description are being worn this sum
mer with gowns of all kinds. In shape
many of them are in the Van Dyke
style, as well as in the sailor collar.
These large collars are most becoming
and picturesque in effect and are made
OF various materials, some of silk
muslin, appHqued on the edge with
lace, and others of all lace in the heav-
Ter point patterns. In many instances
cuffs to match the collars are worn,
and stylish and dainty they are, too.
Petticoats of satin brocade, louisine
and China silks have driven taffeta
skirts out of fashion. Underwear of
silk is possible only when it is COM
pletely lacking in rustic. The same
Is true of Innings. Surah and foulard
are chosen in preference to taffeta.
A white muslin gown with black
lace trimmings is charming; wide
black lace forms the fiounces and the
bertha and finishes the elbow sleeves,
while black lace applique in rose de-
sign straps the seams of the skirt and
the waistin several lines up and down
the front and back.
n Women who consider style and dura-
bility happy combination in a gown
will do well to purchase just now mate
rial for new gown of a superior quail
lty of black wolfe and trim it with a
herringboning of black silk. With
this should go little silk jacket with
a collar turned down and edged with
Irish lace, the open bell sleeves being
lined with the same lace.
Crepe de chine and liberty satins
and silks are much used this season
IN place of the more perishable chit
fons and tulles for many of the tucked
Diouse-vests and undersleeves. Flow
ered peau de sole is also employed, and
white silk and satin stripes, the satin
stripe lowered in black or white show
ing rows of fagot stitching along each
edge, and often the plain stripe is
slashed every half-inch and threaded
with black velvet bebe ribbon.
Not few of the newest evening
waists have soft transparent folds 90
ing around the figure with horizontal
lines OF lace insertion showing be-
tween. Others, for fuller forms, are
| of
daintily embroidered as finish; and
Tor the Junoesque type are the revived
pointed bodices finished with closely
fitted darts in the old manner, but
cieyerly draped in slightly bloused
style in front and in close clinginp
fashion at the side above the straight-
1ronted corset to give the effect of
length and slenderness.
The new shirred skirts are exceed
lngly smart, made both in dark and
light plain chiffons or muslins. and
there are rows of the shirring three
together at regular intervals from
just below the waist to the top of the
gathered or plated founce. The waist
to. go with these skirts has three rows
close together, just above the belt.
and between these the material is ar.
ranged in full, graceful folds. These
shlrred' gowns, however, can be worn
to advantage only by slight and
graceful figure. Disappointed yokes
on the waist and skirt, formed by shir-
rings, are smart and can never become
too common, as the work requires an
expert dressmaker.
