The prestige of linen as dress mater
ial, is now fully established and when
! embroidered, sets seal of fashionable
endorsement that none may gainsay.
A pure white linen gown with blouse
, waist embroidered and the same finish
on skirt, brings pride to the wearer and
approval to an onlooker, and equal emo
| tions attend the exhibition of ecru, blue,
pink or red dresses in the above. men,
toned material. This, the unsophisti-
Gated might presume to be. in rare quail
ity, beftting fastidious women, but in
this case "fine feathers do not make
fine birds'' and the coarser the linen,
the more stylish. Pongee, chiefly in
ecru, competes strongly, having the ad-
vantage of not necessitating laundry bills;
entire suits of the same. made with fut-
tering coat skirts, proclaim the wearer
afar, as being fashionable and when the
skirt is of some other material, Tapping
ecru coat sends down the scale of appro-
baton on the side of the wearer. Some
new outfits of this character, show how
ever, skirt laid in box plaits ak around
and in even length, the blouse and coat
skirt similarly finished and in this case,
drapery is of course kept within bounds.
For Country Wear
the outfit is proportionately adapted
more to outdoor than indoor wear. Lydia
Languish styles may obtain for the even
ing, yet even here at times, the fair one
may retain her short skirt occasionally,
when coming in to late supper, after
some drive, boating, yachting or sport
ing experience. Such facts have had no
small influence in the retention both of
independent waists and abbreviated
skirts, nor have improved facilities in
travelling and travelling conveniences,
been without great influence. In sum-
ming up what must be taken and what
left behind, attention too is needful as to
what may best refresh after open air ex-
ertion. Thus as the time comes round
when We pack our trunks and satchels
and start for the country, we sit down to
go over the little list of things we must
have for our comfort and among the first
few items iot down as usual, supply Of
Murray & Lanman's Florida water.
Strange isn't it, we never tire of it. And
yet it is not strange after all, for has not
the whole world been using it constantly
for nearly hundred years and it was
never more popular than it is this season.
In
Millinery
the use of lace as factor, becomes more
prominent. Sometimes heavy lace is
laid fiat and united with straw or again |
are seen examples made largely in dotted
silk lace shirred over a frame, which |
shows plainly through, the thin covering.
Such foundations likewise are combined
with straw. In the world of millinery
however, the ''go as you please is reg
nant and hardly rule can be laid down,
that is not broken. Automobile hats are
a style peculiar to themselves, being in
turban shape, much smaller than what
is generally noticeable and quite envelop-
ing head in hood fashion, is silk extern
sion fastened under the chin by a large
'ibbon bow. Colors are in unison, ex-
,epta pompon on the left side that is u.s.
lally either black or white.
"Eleanor. while the greater proper
ion of sleeves show pronounced and
eally misplaced fullness below the elbow,
sometimes from above the elbow yet
lew examples are in very much modified
so that fashionable last
ummer, will pass muster this season for
,ersons not extremists. |.
