Pliable Corsets.

All the materials used in corset making
are of the softest, most supple character,
those hard, highly dressed coutils being
things of the far past. A very popular

A Shell Pink Parasol.

A sunshade in a fashionable shop IS OF
the paIest pink chiffon veiled with cover
of white gauze which is sprinkled with sill
yer, the small paillettes cleaning and
giinting in the sun. White silk mingling
with tuiie forms small baskets filled with
silk embroidered flowers.

few rows of narrow plating may be put on
around the neck. A deep lace collar over
the shoulders matched by the vandyked
cuffs upon the wrists makes a pretty dec
grafton. A ribbon belt is all that is needed
to complete this dainty robe.

wreaths are perhaps the newest appliques
Although it is not one of the washable
fabrics, voile has had summer popularity
second to no other material. The reason is
not difficult to discover. Wolfe drapeS grace
fully and does not soon lose it's elasticity.
The thinner qualities of this, supported by
silk foundations. have a richness and soft
ness most valuable to the woman who is
compelled to content herself with a mod
erately inexpensive robe for general wear.
Shirring is effective decoration for wolfe:
indeed, the majority of the newer dresses
of this material are decorated with ninety
gathered yokes The skirt yoke when
Shirred is so artiStically threaded on silk
that it is scarcely raised above the level of
the cloth. Pastel shades, almond blossom
pink. delicate blues. chartreuse green, zinc
whites. biscuit tones and soft grays are ap-
parently the fayorite colorS for nonwash-
able toilets, especially for afternoon visiting
service.
One of the daintiest of voile frocks is of
Dresden blue. The skirt is shaped over the
hips with four deep rows of Shirring and
trimmed around the lower part with two
deep galloonS of guipure lace. The bodice
is slightly shirred over the bust. A fluted
cape of vole bordered with a row of the
gudpure covers the shoulders. A yoke and
vest of plated white silk are added, and a
Stolelike finish of lace for the cape falls to
the waist, where the ends are weighted by
silk tasSelS. The sleeves, shirred from
shoulders to elbows, fall in full folds to the
lace-trimmed wrist. The cape, a removable
one, is sometimes replaced by beautiful
pelerine of white glace silk lace and blac
chenille. The silk forms the plated ruff
fies of the pelerine while the lace is draped
over the plain silk, which is shaped upon
the shoulders. Two long stole ends of the
lace almost conceal the front of the bodice.
Black chenille chouX and lines of black
chenille upon the edges of the ruffies gives
just the touch of chic required in the up-to-
date shoulder drapery.

The Picturesque Romney.

Among afternoon blouSeS the Romney is
one of the most picturesque. 1t is an adap
tation of some of the styles depicted in the
great painters portraits of beautiful wo-
men of the eighteenth century. The style
looks especially we'll on slender figures. A
very pretty Romney blouse forms part of
new costume of louisine chine silk. 1t has
a double collar of white lace, over which is
draped a fichu of white mousseline. The
loose sleevelets, extending from the gaunt-
let cuff of plain silk at the elbow, are also
of white mousseline Across the bodice
front knots of rose Du Barry silk gather
the fichu into loose overhanging puffs.
An inexpensive afternoon frock suitable
for a garden party or for visiting is fash
| ioned of pale blue cambria trimmed with
ecru lace threaded with black velvet rib
bon. The vest of ring-spotted ecru net Is
plated from the lace collar to the black
ribbon velvet bows which head the en-
broidered velvet tabs running down each
side the bloused front. Cambria forms the
rest of the waist and is laid in box plaits
on each side of the net vest. Lace motifs
threaded with velvet ribbon overlay the
cambria box plaits, motifs border the col
lar and the ends of the short sleeves where
the net sleevelets are adjusted. Groups of
narrow plaits over the hips mold the skirt
to the figure Shaped tucks of the cam.
bric very narrow in front and widest at
the sides, are a novel decoration for the
skirt. Lace motifs form a border above
the shaped tucks A black velvet ceinture
encircles the waist. The ease with which
the laundreSS can work with a gown made
like this is apparent to every one The lace
net Is merely basted into position and can
be removed whenever the gown is sent to
be washed. The velvet ribbon may also
be removed and replaced when the gown is
renovated. There are no fiounces frills
to be toiled over, and consequently even in
the hands of a Second-rate ironer the cos
tune loses none of its beauty. Linen dim
ity, batiste, lawn, challie and sateen can be
successfully made like this lawn gown.
Soft Silk Lawns.
Silk lawn is one of the most charming
materials for garden party frocks. 1t is
soft and light and so exactly suited for a
slender, graceful figure! Pale blue is Just
the tint for a blond. A silk foundation is
necessary when this material is used for
it is so thin and pliable that it is impossf-
bic to make a skirt take on a fashionable
flare about the lower part unless some sup
porting fabric is placed underneath it. Two
flounces headed by lace insertions and
edged by lace make a pleasing skirt trim
ming for the pale blue silk lawn frock
Narrow plaits the hips will give the
skirt the correct shape. The bloused bodice
should be fastened in the back and quite
plain in front except for two vertical ap-
plications of lace insertion. If desired, a

Dressy House Affair.

gray muslin costume which was thickly in
crusted with cluny lace and entire deux of
valenciennes. Her large white hat was
garnished with black chantilly lace and
among it's folds sparkled clasps of brilliants
The costume was eminently suited to her
years and figure and made much better
impression on me than the rather gorgeous
gowns in which she usually appears. On
most occasions she displays the bourgeoise
love of gay colors and Ignores the fact that
at present neutral shades are a la mode.
In Muslin and Silk.
Muslin and silk is an odd combination,
but it is one a which modistes have ar
rived. Embroidered muslin and poppy red
taffetas piped with white are united with
surprisingly good effect in a new costume.
The new design is a founced afternoon
gown which is displayed on pretty bru-
nette model The skirt is simply a series of
shaped flounces which are longer in front
than in the back Each f1ounce is strap
ped with the red and white silk. The
bodice has A peculiar bolero-one that
taperS below the waist to give a long and
narrow basqued effect. The jacket is sur
rounded by a single band of the strapping
and is cut short and square over blouse
of lace and muslin. The sleeves are raised
on the shoulders, giving the first hint that
we may again see a modification of the
puff. The silk is slashed open down the
forearms and permits undersleeves of plait-
ed muslin to display their yoluminous folds
Medallion Effects.
The smartest frocks are medallion trim
med; there is no mistaking the fact that
this decoration has come to stay for awhile
The lOzenge shaped applications are a trifle
ahead in popularity and are preferably self
cOlored lace of some of the coarser quail
ties A very rich effect is attained with
them on robe of beige batiste which to-
day l noted in one of the famous dress
making establishments. The usual yoke
upon the skirt is vandyked with rows of
shirring. This gives that increased fullness
to the draperies which the advance guards
of fashion are aiming to popularize. Around
the lower part of the garment are three
rows of Irish lace medallions, the lowest
series being the largest. A yoke is shirred
upon the blouse and the sleeves are shirred
from the shoulders for about one-third Of
their length. The waist fullness is caught
in by black ribbon belt, connected with
which ribbon velvet bands brought
from the shoulders underneath the arms to
join the sash ends in the back. There paste
buckles are affixed. A shoulder cape of
Irish lace is incrusted with four large
lozenges of the lace, smaller medallions
decorating the sleeve draperies
