measurements. Then fashion now calls for
so many frocks that the majority OF us
are compelled to economist on the max
ing.
Delicious inspiration for the clever
needlewoman is a gown Of amber organdy
and black lace over watermelon pink silk.
Embroidered rings, enclosing disks Of black
and white footing, alternating in narrow
strips, trim this with bewildering effect.
On the skirt the rings border odd ovals
Of tucked organdy stitched with black,
these heading an embroidered foot 1ounce.
Above, all over the skirt, are the same
ornaments, large and small. a row around
a tucked piece shaping a basque effect at
the back and hips.
The lower portion OF the blouse bodice
is OF the plain organdy. The upper consists
OF an embroidered yoke cut low at the front
and lacing at the bust with black bebe vel
vet. More rings border this and cover the
gathered elbow sleeves, and a very pretty
point is a eirdle OF bias black velvet, whose
sharply narrowed ends tie in a bow at the
front.
Long gloves Of black silk or black kid
stitched with white accompany all gowns
de sortie with elbow sleeves. Silk and
thread mits are also seen. but these. being
unbecoming to any but the most beautiful
hands and arms. are not in marked favor.
The most stylish gloves Of the season are
in a mixture Of thread and silk. These
At as snugly as kid and are as expensive.
Finger tips are doubled, the short gloves
showing heavy stitchings at the back and
big. mannish looking pearl buttons.

look modish and look comfortable at the

dapper pair, and they may be either all
white or black stitched with white. The
last sort are good purchases for all round
wear.
But, however stylish they are, all the
world does not wear the black and white
gloves, many smart women preferring a
glove to match the gown. In the pale
grays. browns and violets Of the new cot
ton textures these seem very fetching.
Hot weather underwear is Just now
being made a speciality with many of the
good shops. A pleasing simplicity is OBJ
served in the best Of these pretty gar
ments, which are in the thinnest textures,
and white as usual predominating over
color. Batiste, French dimity and lawn
are some of the coolest materials, these
sporting the simplest embroideries or lace
headings strung with narrow ribbons. The
lawn chemises and drawers with narrow
Valenciennes edgings are admirable pur-
chases. With every washing these seem
to get more sheer, and compared with
other materials the lawn things are very
cheap.
Several new models are observed in the
various departments, the princess petit.

gussets and deep embroideries for the
skirt bottom. A thin white linen is tn,
material most used for such models, whose
fitted waist portions require a texture
with some body. The Empire chemise, q
dainty short-waisted little garment with
babyish puff sleeves, is another pretty
novelty. and many of the thinnest night.
gowns have wide kimona sleeves.
A very neat and inexpensive gown is o.
white striped batiste with plain lawr
frill edgings, and for those who suffel
much from summer heat there are models
so cut out at the throat as to seem al.
most decollete. Such styles boast nj
sleeves to speak Of. the arm covering
being the tiniest Of puifs. They are drawn
in at the bottom with narrow wash rib.

ings, the same simple treatment showing
at the round or square cut neck.
Very little silk underwear is now worr
I, by smart women, the most elegant OF the
fashionable preferring the dRintier cot
tons. But the shops are full Of silk under
rigging which somebody must buy. The
best things in this line are made Of q
very delicate quality Of white china silk

Drawers are wider than ever, looking II
some cases with their deep fouEces like
divided skirts. Twenty-seven inches Is the
modish length for these. MARY DEAN.
