is raViShing.
AS to the ways of making, several of the
weeks simple designs afford facile and
dainty suggestions.
The toilet at the left of the group pic
ture is of opaline organdy with ribbons in
pale green and knots of black velvet. The
skirt is made with deep fiounce, the rib
bon furnishings disposed at intervals in
up and down stripes with the velvet
rosettes holding them at the top. The low
err portion of the bodice, which shows
deep tucked yoke, is entirely in box pleats
A velvet breast knot is distinctive note
with the waist, which, like most of the thin
summer gowns, is cut out at the throat

In the street some that are almost decollete.
But odd as it may seem, this public ex-

two feet wide, these tender furnishings,

Scarfs of Net.
Black lace, Brussels net and tulle scarfs
