Finest Qualities of Lace and
IEmbroideries Are Combined

Combining lace with embroidery is also 4
fad OF the moment, but when this IS done
only the finest qualities OF both lace and
embroidery should be used; otherwise the
effect Is coarse and heavy. There are stocks
of every conceivable and many inconceiva-
Ible designs. Those to wear with the more
elaborate waists are really not stocks, but
lace collars, unlined and finished only with
pearl buttons or a small lace bow in front
which make the waist more becoming than
when there IS just the line of the collar
against the waist.
Dunstable straws, rushes, alder stems and
Tother rustic braids. loosely woven or lace
plated, are in great demand
The width Of many Of the newest coach
hng and garden-party hats is remarkable.
and the fashion of putting a wreath of large
lfull-blown roses and foliage at the extreme
edge of the brim on the front OF the hat is
stin greatly favored
Holland dresses more or less tinted are
much used for beach and mountain cos
tunes. The skirts are strapped, and the
Jackets finished with blouse vests Of white
india silk. fagot-stitched in black. or dot
ted with black French knots The same
kind OF silk is used for the sailor collar, the
pointed ends brought down one each side
half way to the waist. Inch-wide strap
pings of black silk edge the collar, and a
black silk tie passed underneath is knot
ted in front. With these additions. the Hol-
land gown is smartened very considerably.

IL LOWERED musiins and silks are now
IL sold for far less than the prices asked
for them early in the season. and are
more the fashion for young girIs as we'll as
for older women. II IS a mistake however,
to choose too large a pattern or. too vivid
cOlorings. or any design IN which there are
colors like purple or yellow mixed with light
blue. as is often seen in the muslins OF this
season Dotted muslins are much more ex-
pensive than the plain and are rather old
In effect. but often among them are to be
found very effective patterns and colors, SO
they must net be absolutely taboOed.
Plain white organdIes and lawns are tho
most economical purchases that can be
made. for there Is never any danger that the
colors viii fade. but. OF course. the expenss
OF trimming must needs be considered. for
the plain white muslin requires quite an
amount Of lace or embroidery to be as ef-
fective as a Powered muslin. Tucks and
plaits are SO fashionable this year that Il fs

with much less quantity OF lace or embroid-

Long Linen Skirts Worn
With Russian Blouses.

Linens Of every description are in good
haste. By French tailors they arc made
into fairly long skirts. heavily strapped.
and these are worn either with skirted Rus
sian blouses. the shorter waists, or Eton
blouses, with Irish lace collars attached.
Pale seasheH pink or cherry-red are the
colors most popular for the short waists
worn beneath these garments. Some Of the
mauve and butchers blue linens are re
lieyed with ecru linen lace insertions ond
eppliques. the effect being exceedingly
smart.
Many OF the gowns prepared for afternoon
wear are in black and white silk or French
muslin An admirable costume OF white
satin foulard dotted with black was made
with a skirt which fitted the figure nearly
half its length, below which was arranged
q graduated fiounce OF tucked net ruched
with white lace dotted with black Pale
spple-green silk was. used for the founda-

over which the blouse pouched slightly.

Seven and Nine Gored
Skirts Much Used.

Sometimes the folds are like the skirt
fabric. This makes them look more like
wide tuclSs taken in the goods at regular
intervals. but, quite as often, folds Of MORE
or taffeta, for instance, arc applied TO a net
skirt, or those Of liberty silk or albatrcss-
Noticeable among the light silk and lib
erty satin gowns is the fact that the seven
and nine gored skirts are very much used,
but so often disguised by fsgot-stitchinE,
vertical tuCking or insertion bands OF lace
that tho seams are almost invisible. Tho

Elbow Sleeves Droop
Over Narrow Bands.

Lengthwise tucks are laid on each side Of
the fastening al the back and a straight col
lar finishes the neck. The elbow sleeves
droop over narrow bands and are tucked
vertically at the top. The skirts are OF
three-piecs shaping. with a graduated
fiounce that ripples at its lower edge. White
dotted or embi oidered swiss, challi. yelling
ert linen. nainsOok and mUslins with lace
edged fiounces and bands for the surplice
fronts. are the fabrics used for these gowns.
Some Of the new French skirts are ar
ranged in graduated box plaits all around,
the plaits being very narrow and fiat at the
top. widening out as they descend, and
when released giving the fashionable full
ness near the feet. Soft, pliablc materials
are especially appropriate for this style OF
skirt, and many OF the models are threaded
horizontally with bands Of insertion, rhe
band passing each time It reaches 1t. be-
meath the fold of the box plat. Three or
four rows OF insertion arranged at regular
Intervals are used. The skirts are hung
over fve-gorsd foundations. and the p,aIis

The weather has been so cool as 70 per
nit of the wearing OF light cloth ana mo-

with them are worn the very elaborate lace
and muslin or elaborate India silk waists.
1t seems 2 little incongruous with cloth
or mohair gown TO have shirt waist made
Of lines Of real lace and hand tUcks, but
this very inconErulty Is effective and gives
a daintiness and n certain feminine touch
10 the rather severe tailor style. which
makes Il more attractive. Valenciennes
lace. various kinds of French lace. and. OF
course, Irish point are used on these waists.
Irish point being reserved for the rather
heavier linens and for the silk. A yoke &
always pretty. but yokes are not 50 smart
now, excepting the small ones. as are the
chemisettes. which. like those made for the
foulRrd gowns. can be taken out and laun-
dered as soon as they show the slightest
signs OF wear.
The only severe shirt waists that seem to
find favor this year are those made OF fine
madras or linen with rows OF little tucks al
the shoulder. the tucks stitched down TO be
low the bust, with small bishop sleeves,
gathered into q narrow cuff which is fast
ened with two pearl buttons, or with sleeve
links, as is preferred. These are certainly
very severe. but they are well made and
must be well made to be smart, and are
rather a comfort in their contrast to the
more elaborate ones which are worn with
every variety OF gown.
