White pique, duck and linen gowns

EMBROIDERED MUSLIN GROWS
IN POPULARITY WITH SEASON

Embroidered muslins are the most
fashionable of all materials, and as
the season advances are used for both
day and evening. The embroidered
muslin waists are the smartest Of all
the many styles that have found favor,
and are worn over either white or
colored Innings, but these are not so
much in the nature of latest styles as
are the entire gowns made of em-
broidered muslin. The work on many
of these is exquisite, the finest hand
work of years gone by. The gowns
themselves are fashioned from gowns
worn two or three generations ago,
when hand embroidery was one of the
most fashionable accomplishments OF
the age. In some instances the work
almost hides the muslin, so elaborate
is the design. Then again it is put on
in small patterns and has something
the effect of applique. A close exami-
nation discloses many different stitch
es. which. of course. add to the beauty
of the work. and which show to great
est perfection the variety of design.

Notes From WOman'S Realm


more effective than many of the moro
elaborate ones.
Butchers linen is an extremely fash
ionable material this summer, and is
made up on the same lines as the pique
and duck. 1t is far cooler and conse-
Quently is better Tor midsummer wear,
for the finest quality of either of the
others has considerable weight. The
Dleated skirts and coats are blouses arc
favorite designs. and the blouses are
even more in favor than the coats. This
fabric Is effective embroidered or braid
led, and amateur handiwork shows to
god advantage on it. The trimming
with plain bands or polka dot bands OF
blue, pink or scarlet, is also fashion
liable on these linen gowns gowns, and
llet again there are any number made
lup without any trimming at all. Tho
natural color linen, both in fine and
heavy quality, are not so fashionable
Especially the former this season, as Is

color linen gown never goes utterl,
tout of fashion, and somehow always
lseems to possess a certain style of il
own. Just for the mofent it fust b.
admitted, however, the natural colo
pongee gowns are smarter, but vastl,
lmor expensive.
White dimity and batiste gowns ar
universally popular, the latter elabor

Valenciennes. real or imitation. This
is really the copy of the evening
frocl1s so mudh worn by the Southern
girls at the time of the war, and which
are now fashionable in the flowered
and plain muslins as well.
Bows and rosettes of plain satin on
peau de sole ribbon are fashionable on
the muslin frOcks, and it is remarkable
to ee how many different styles there
are. One OF the newest fads is a
rosette made Of satin ribbon an inch
wide, with every end of the ribbon fin
ished with a silk tassel of the same
shade. There are any number of these
ends and of varied length. so that There
is in consequence any number of tas-
sells. The belt worn with this rosette
(the rosette is placed near the left
shoulder is of much wider ribbon, the
same shade. tied in a soft knot and
with two long ends of different
lengths This is quite an economical
fashion, for by changing the ribbons
the gown looks entirely different And
vet another change can be made by
having a colored undersldrt and low
cut underwaist, and then the ribbons
to match the lining. This lining looks
quite as we'll if made of lawn, and the1
the expense is so much less than Il

Fall Hats Already Upon Us

One has hardly become acquainted
with her summer chapeau, when comes
the announcement Of the fail millinery
display.
The hats are of felt, in white, differ
ent shades of gray and in tones of tan
ranging from light ecru THAT is al
most white to fawn. Quite a number
of the shapes are on the order of the
sailor. but rather larger, with round
crown and wide brim slightly rolling.
Perhaps the smartest shape of all is on
the style OF mans Panama
The trimming is very simple, but 1t
is smart simplicity. Black velvet
ribbon, white surah, Louisine or other
soft silks gracefully draped, quills and
wings constitute the chief elements OF
adornment.
Very dashing is white felt, in
Shape resembling a Panama Around
the crown is flatly laid a fold of white
Louisine silk which forms in the front
into puffy rosette, through which are
thrust two long wide quilts shading
from black-and-white to pure white at
the tips.
A white felt. in shape something like
a sailor. has the round crown draped
with white silk. The silk is caught al
the left side with cabodhon of move,
aspect made of strips of white felt In
the front is a chic pompon OF white
feathers.
The Newport" as its name would
indicate, is of decidedly mOdish air. i

against the hair. The Newport il

A veil draped around the brim o
