! rage for just this effect, which seems de-
cidedly incongruous in view of the fact
that at no smart function is such a com
| bination permitted by fashions laws.
However, the hats add very much 10 the
beauty of the picture and as nearly every
English peeress has been portrayed in
this style it cannot be such very bad
| form.
OF course. black hats stand first in
point of favor and usually there is one
enormous plume laid across the front,
with possibly some graceful drapery at
the back.
Two Styles on the Wane.
While on the subject of hats and their
draperies it may be mentioned that there
are two styles which are decidedly on
the wane One is the Napoleon. or Tri-
corne, which is seen on nearly every femi-
nine head 1t is made up in all manner of
cheap straws, so that the most expensive
designs have lost their attractiveness for
the smart woman.
The same fate is in store for the pretty
scarf draperies, which are really lovely
and yet must be passed over by the up
to-date person simply because they are
becoming altogether too common. What
a pity it is. too, for these scarfs are so
graceful and airy and look so well with
thin summer frOcks.

peace. for limitations in this line are as

In combination with fine embroidered

daintier in effect than lace.
Made up on Taffeta.
Many Of the newest thin fabrics are
made up on a taffeta lining which has
piled up founces Of mousseline around
the bottom. Sometimes the under one is
doubled and over this there is a deeper
one. also doubled, while the outer one is
frequently made of accordion plated
mousseline trimmed with rows OF ribbon.
Perishabi such foundations are, of
course, yet they are ravishing. and just
the thing for the diaphanous draperies
one likes in summer frocks.
There are two lace gowns shown here

sashes are seen everywhere, and, of
course. you want to have one of these
fancy affairs on your blue barege. as well
as on your linen, silk. and dimity gowns
These sashes vary in length according
20 the style of the gown. Some are short,
mere tabs of postillon effects, while soft
graceful frocks have them long enough to
almost reach the edge OF tho train. Broad
ribbons are frequently used. ana the two

buckles.
The part that folds around the waist is
wider than belts we have recently been

ornaments to hold the front OF the sash in
place. No matter how your gown is made,

NEVER in the history of society
M games has there been anything
L Y to equal the ping-pong craze. The
loveliest frotk created doesn't
possess charm that viii withstand the
fasciuations of this new game, aud the
most Interesting discussion is Immediate
" broken up when the tiny celluloid balls
and veIIum racquets appear. Society
rushes madly from dinner to the ping
pong tasle and spends hours energeti-
cally tossing elusive balls.
Shuts Up Like Jackknife.
II you live in small apartment then
your ping-pong table is built TO shut up
like jackknife and is stored away, when
not in use. behind doors or in a closet.
The dining room table or the small one in
the library supplies the foundation for
this adjustable top and the coffee and
cheese course is curtailed in order to
have the table cleared. so that this at
tractive game may begin.
If you are going to concert, a dance
or to the theater, then dinner is rushed
that a game may be played before start
ing time.
Charming Effect.
The effect of daintiIy gowned young
women gracefully serving and receiving,
while alert men In evening dress toss the
tiny ball back and forth over the net, is
really very charming, and from the mad
infatuation displayed for the game it is
evident that there is something more in
the playing than is apparent to observers.
When she isn't playing pingp pong or Tit
society woman is spending all the time
she can allow in getting her wardrobe into
shape for tine coming summer. The sea-
son will be long one for those who are
not going over for the coronation. and
that means purchasing an endless variety
of fnery. This, OF course, necessitates a
vast deal OF ordering, fitting, and running
about. Truly, THE smart set work hard
in order TO enjoy themselves.
Theater and Dinner Parties Popular
Large theater and dinner parties are
the order OF the day, and these, with the
usual April weddings. give the few who
are still in town a sufficient chance TO
display their latest sartOrial acquisitions.
The afternoon seems TO be the fayorite
time for April weddings. and curious
mixture of midwinter and spring effects
are noticed in the dresses.
