THE LATEST IN DRESS.
New Designs in Materials for Smart
Costumes to lie Worn in
Early Autumn.

Very effective are the black lace
appliqu" designs used on white ba-
iste and mousseline de sole gowns.
A white merceriaed India null made
up over golden green batiste has
pattern of ivy leaves in black-thread
lace for trimming. Heading the
founce, which goes around the back
ivy leaves. and across the front of
the full blouse are slightly curved
horizontal rows of la Breton. Every
thread of the delicate pattern
shows to advantage on the sheer ma
tcrial, and adds much to the trans
parent look which is such Il charac-
teristic feature of these costumes,
says the New Yorl; Post.
In bebe blue, made over cream
color, is another costume of mousse
line de sole, deliberately trimmed
with black-lace applique. The de-
sign is of roses, and covers the front
and portion of the side breadthS,
extending across the front of the
tucked waist and tops Of The tucked
sleeves. As the material is cut away
beneath the applique trimming, the
lining or foundation slip shows
!hrough the lace and seems to ac-
ccntuatc its delicacy Of finish. Nous
scinc lie sole is first choice for these
toilets, but there are many quail
ties of silk, null, merceriled lawn
and India nlu.ins which are quite as
effective, possess mere of what is
called body" and are certainly
much more durable.
Silky-looking mcrccrzed cotton
gowns are exceedingly popular
this year. They are not only
used for shirt-waist suits for morn
ing wear, bnt, finished with linen
strappings or Swiss embroidery,
they make smart costumes for gen
cral afternoon uses. Among these
goods are the very pretty tri-colored
Scotch gnghams, lightweight
French zcphyrs, and the heavier
chambray and Madras cottons in the
daintiest of summer colorings. Most
| Of the goods are in new. small fig
ures-in stripes, dots, woven fagot-
ing. and hemstitched effects, and
finely corded lines. Shepherds
! checks are numerous, but the larger
plaids are passe. For more dressy
! suits are soft-tinished ginghams and
| Zephyrs with crepe-likc ground, and
| dots or stripes of silk. Still others
show white designs woven to initiate
| tambonr embroidery. Light and del
| icate tints that look cool and dainty
are most used in these gowns. Their
| trimmings are insertions, tucks, and
edgings or bands and flounces Of
white embroidery that resemble
| opcn-pattcrned laces. If the gown
needs toning to render it becoming,
! narrow black velvet ribbon is still
| used near the face, us stOck-edg-
! ing, and also on the girdle or
| stitched belt. White Liberty satin
ribbons rival those of black on
gowns that have nearly sold-colored
| grounds--ccI blue, pink, cress green,
| Nlolt'' 'h'' IipiItS VI "ilihc Sio'''"
with colorcd design have Liberty rib
bons the color Of the pattern, while
contrasts of color are effectively
used in peau de sole or chiffon; as
q mauve creped gingham with pale
green silk muslin stock and girdle,
or sage-grcen cotton batistc, with
the Transparent lace collar and belt
lined with pue-Ll@c silk.
