wash Evening Gowns.
Openings, Of domestic and imported
gowns, are the excitement OF the hour to
the shopper; though many splendors Of real
lace and hand-embroidered silk beguile the
fancy, to the woman of modest means and
artistic aspirations in dress, the most i'm
portant discovery was that OF many en-
chanting little American made evening Co.'S
tunes built Of the least expensive ma
terials and yet reaching a high plane Of
sartorial art. A group of three typical and
economical toilets are showed in corrobora-
ton of this fact. The center figure shows
how a rosy wash foulard, figured in pale
green vine trails, decorated with a few
yards OF imitation cafe au lait point
d'Arabe and shoulder straps OF black baby
velvet ribbon, effectually realized the ideal
Of a quaint, gay little summer dancing
dress.
A white habuti wash silk, its double
nounce heads and bodice top garnished with
bands of cream Valenciennes lace laid upon
broad crimoon wash ribbon, is the second
sweet evening frock that can pack about In
a dress-suit case, make occasional trips to
the laundry and yet be always freshly in
evidence and worn over no more costly
foundation than a 10-cent-a-yard white
lawn slip.
The third pretty dress is a pale blue,
cotton, Canton crepe, trimmed with bands
Of dark blue Hungarian linen, cross
stitched In a quaint pink and blue design.
A collar of blue Venetian beads, strung
with bright Jet beads to form a sort Of
pattern, is the inexpensive, but most be-
coming ornament worn with the modest
and charming frock.

their festive appearance she can buy two
yards Of coral beads, so cleverly copied
from the real that none but an expert

them about her neck. She can also buy a

Gloves to be Laundered.
Gloves with such gowns can be white
suede II you like, but there has lately been
introduced a new white silk and Isle glove
that washes like a handkerchief and is in
tended for summer evening wear. Such
gloves can be had In lengths from eight to
twenty-four button; they are woven to At
the hand as perfectly as & costly spun
silk stocking fits the foot and many Of
them are beautifully lace worked from the
knuckles clear to the shoulder.
Wash silk madras is one OF the seasons
materials that have been enthusiastically
adopted by the makers Of little girls gowns
and, with plentiful tucking and applica-
ton Of embroidered bands, the most elab-
crate plans of decoration are triumphantly
carried. A typical little girl gown on this
order is copied from a model Of clear, salad
green, wash madras. The whole Of the
frock, with the exception Of a front panel
is seen pleated. Heavy ecru linen en-
broidery, finished in arrowhead points,
garnishes the fancy collar, sleeves and
skirt front and all the fullness Of the sun
~pleating is caught in at the waistline by 9
sash of soft moss green taffeta.
