IDEAL MODES

Softness. delicacy, airiness is the keynote
OF the summer gown, and most harmoniously
itEis sounded In the, various pompadour Du
Barry, Dolly Warden, and eighteen-century ef-
fects Tue Quintessence OF quaintness aud
occurrences is the ideal to be attained in all
modes. If the fair Wearer Is to be in some
sense the originator Of her own gowns, then
she must seek for the true inspiration from
such pictures as Sir Joshua Reynolds dear

Duchess of Devonshire,' from Vatican S
frail "Shepherdess. An earnest study of old
prints is an equally wise thing. In fact, any
style which appeals to her own innate sense
OF artistic refinement will be we'll chosen,
and thus she will readily attain the something

pleased to call chic, or, In the latest argo,
the dernier cri du mode.
The skirts Of thin gowns are not being made
with so much of the serpentine effect as is to
be seen in those oftcloth and silk, but rather
OF the straight-front varety-a style which is
more adaptable to the needs of the thin,
gauzy fabrics. and which lends itself more
readily to the establishment afforded by many
ruf1es, frils and furbeloWs. Laces and en-
broideries, especially that houte nouveaute,
the blind embroidery, are being much EN-
ployed. and in profusion, for the adornment
of such gowns. To-day it is not so nuch the
material of which gown is composed that
one pays for as the trimmings and the style.
OF coloring there is such a variety to choose
. from that it would be an endless task to
even attempt "a description. They are indi-
Gated by the old-time embroderies seen in the
museums, but which have attained their per-
