FRESH FEMININE FINERY.
Notes of the Nodes for Those Who Keep
Pace with the Latest In
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 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, appliqued 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 founces and the
bertha and finishes the elbow sleeves,
while black lace applique in rose de-
sign straps the seams of the skirt and
the waist in several lines up and down
the front and back.
Women who consider style and dura-
bility a happy combination in a gown
will do well to purchase just now mate
rial for new gown of a superior quail
ity of black vOile and trim it with a
herringboning of black silk. With
this should go a little silk jacket with
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
ions and tulles for many of the tucked
blouse-vests and unders1eeves. Flow
cred peau de sole is also employed, and
