cache peine in the rear is sometimes
worn, it is, as a rule, rather conspicu
Gus by its absence. About the crown
folds an embroidered pongee or gray
grass linen scarf; if of pongee, the
scarf is polka dotted and hemstitched
with a color; if of linen, it is cross
stitched in threads of Bulgarian colors,
and pins with big knotted straw heads
hold it in place. or it is drawn through
a large, rustic straw buckle, or into its
own round knot at one side a handful
of loose gull, red cock, or gray turkey
plumage is thrust.
The Travellers Rain Coat.
gray or covert brown waterproof
cloth, cape OF knee-long, wide-sleeved,
boX-front rain coat, is the choice wrap
of the traveller. For voyages on land,
in our hot, summer weather, the most
commendab!e black. brown, silver gray
and dark blue taffeta waterproof coats
that are equally useful in dust or rain
storm have come to fill an aching void
and to leave the old, reliable golf cape
grande1 in neglect. The taffeta water
proof rustles and shimmers, and has
big, wide, breeze-inviting sleeves and
a huge, detachable Barry hood that on
a coach, automobile or open naphtha
launch can be cats over a big, fragile,
picturesque hat and bring it through a
storm as dry and crisp as the pro-
verbal bone.
Sashes and BOas.
Vive la cienture; or, in English, long
may the sash waive, for next after the
net boa it is the prominent feature of
all dress made achievements this year.
If your leftover from last spring is far
too nice and fresh and dear to your
heart to be cast aside, go out and buy
a sash; hang it at the rear of the suit
and nobody could tell but that your
gown was of this springs rich harvest.
The chiffon sash that is first accordion
pleated, then lace encrusted, crossed
with quillings of silk muslin and fin
ally strapped with black baby velvet
ribbon. is the archetype of the whole
tribe of steamers, and it whisks in the
breeze at the rear of nine-tenths of
the wolfe, foulard and batiste-c clad sis
terhood. There have lately appeared
the most fascinating sashes of deep
cream Lierre, mock Alencon. Mechlin
and Valenciennes lace, with little chif-
fon rosebuds dangling from them, or
figures in black last applied fiat to
their surface. These found their af-
finity IN the organizes, and their inter-
esting contemporaries are wide ribbon
sashes of unequal length. fringed at the
ENDS, ana SumptuouSlY painted in roses
and field flowers and such.
Any woman who knows what to do
with a thimble and thread can make
her own sashes, and very gorgeous, ex-
pensive looking ones at that, for very
small outlay. The best and latest
mode in sash drapery requires mention,
for a round knot at the belt and two
floating ends is considered the refuge
of the commonplace. There is the soft
sash that knots at the belt, falls eigh-
teen inches and knots again before the
ends fall free, and then there is the
wing knot and the knot that drops a
short loop on top of the ends, and fin
ally the knot that is pulled through
a long. narrow buckle. which is shaped
and bent to follow the curves of the
waist line.
Some OF the ball gowns seen of late
showed bewitching sashes OF silk tulle
or finest Malines net and these were
tied in plain knots the whole of theid
length at intervals Of eight and ten
inches. In every knot a soft cluster of
ribbon or chiffon flowers were caught,
and these trihes vie in the affections
OF the debutante with sashes made
wholly OF flowers based on tulle
foundation or assuming the shape Of
