Natural ColOred Coarse Linen
Suit Trimmed With Embroidery.

l have recently seen a beautiful gown in
natural-colored coarse linen, which had
three shaped bands of embroidery with can
vas on the skirt. threaded with black vel

bolero had a large picture collar of real
ecru lace guipure mingling with the en-
broidery. and showing the Rose du Barry
pink silk lining. This also was threaded
with black velvet terminating in looped
bows in the front. The lace appeared
again in the pink silk at the waist and on
the wide bell sleeves. 1t was indeed a
lglorifed linen gown. A pale silver gray
silk wolfe. cut in princesse style, was
worked all over with Irish lace applique.
THE little bolero fell over a pale blue and
pink ribbon sash. caught up into a choux

had a very becoming pulled sleeve. Among
the many charming blouses now worn 1
Jam especially attracted by a fine Irish lace
lone, threaded with white satin ribbons,
made up over a full under-bodice of white
chiffon. The sleeve terminated in a waist
pun of the chiffon, a pale blue glace shows
much open drawn thread work, having two
diamond medallions Of ecru lace in front.
The sleeves are slightly full and caught

tucked glace had interlacings of black
velvet down the front, held in place by
lgold and steel buckles.
