ARTS, July 19.I trust you
will notice closely the ar
Il rangement of plaits on the
- blue serge gown sketched
with this article. All fem

Tore be advised, and if you aspire to
be considered modiSh go and do like
wise. The more novel the arrange
ment of the folds the better, for is not
origin ality the warrant of genius? OBJ
serve Ihow skillfully the creases upon
this 1Aodel skirt curve from the hips.
Each one is headed by a bit of passe-
menterie trimming, anticipating the re-

of the figure instead of incasing it in
a stiff sheath, as is the case when
Sutched tuckS are worn. The waist of
this costume, which, by the way, was
designed for yachting, shows another
new idea-the use of a Deep round col
lar 1t is draped over the shoulders
and in this instance is of serge lined
with silk. A short Elton coat, cut out
in sheath shape over a vest of tuck

Persian embroidery. Box plaits on the
jacket are fiattened underneath a sat-
in girdle. The sleeves balloon at

a wide, turned over linen collar and
silk tie twisted into a quaint knot
are the fashionable finish for the neck
Most yachting gowns are as useful
to women who have never seen the in
side of a sea craft as they are to those
who can afford to tread their own
quarter decks. Their simplicity of con-
struction and tried durability make
them just the things for summer OUT
door service. For instance, they are
excellent toilets for travelling, for walk
ing, for driving, for automobiling or
for any short excursions. If you do not
believe it, ask your own modiste.
Mile. Ninon of the Coincide assured
me that she had almost beggared her
self in buying a handsome tailored
linen dress. AS she happened to be
wearing the frock on the morning when
L met her at the counter of fashion
able jewelers. 1 can quote her taste.
Pigeon gray linen was the material
chosen. 1t was strapped with white
cloth in the quaintest zizag pattern
which, emitting the front breadth, ex-
tended between the strappings tiny
vertical tuckS were inserted. These
terminated at the end of each band and
gave slight fulness to the part of the
fabric extending to the mem. A yoke
rangement of narrow pin plaits stitch
ed neatly with silk. The pride of
Ninon's heart was the linen Jacket,
with it's pointed basque and military
belt. This coat practically served as
the bodice, since nothing was worn I'M
derneath it. Two small revers faced
with white closed under the chin Just
underneath a high linen stock, which
was crossed by washable velvet rib
bon. The full sleeves were encircled
by narrow bands of stitched pfaits. A
semimilitary appearance was given to
the front of the bodice by means of
stitched white tabs.
Mile. Ninon was buying a watch
one of the quaint chatelaine affairs
which are just now the rage with out
door dresses. Pilots wheels, sundiaIs.
tennis rackets, banjos, hearts and
casks were some of the designs laid
out upon the showcase. Short chains
suspended the timepieces from chate-
lame pins cast in some equally pecu-
liar molds. The yachting young wo-
man naturally is partial to the wheel
