There is every reason to believe that
this new linen will be extremely popu-
lar for spring and summer wear 1t
comes also in brown, blue, red and bis
cult color. 1t lends itself to almost
every variety of trimming, models or

pllquer of black velvet and lace being
equally PRETTY.
For warmer days there are two vari-
cites OF organdy and one is apt to Sc
lect both in compromise of not being
able to choose one and leave the other.
One has the imprint of a lace medal
lion, with the soft effect of lisse and
clinging properties of silk; the other
is crisp, fresh and perky, subbesting
dimity but infinitely finer.
fancy bodice developed in the lat
ter has 4 yoke of tucked white NOUS
seine de sole which extends only across
the front and as deep as the bust line.
FINISHING the yoke is a band of cream
white Russian insertion softened by
an under layer of fine wash net. The
insertion continues the outline I'D to

back 1t extends only along the shoulder
seam. This allows an unbroken effect

railing from the yoke over the opening
OF the bodice is a cascade Of white lace,
contrasting beautifully with the Rus
sian insertions. On either side of the
cascade falling in natural effect are
punches OF grapes in heavy thread lace
while the opening, though invisible,
gains contract by means of white silk
buttons, from which fraceful black and
white silk tassels droop.
The idea Of softening the heavy laces
used upon delicate ia brics with a foun-
datiOn piece of net is artistic and en-
hanceS considerably the beauty of the
effect
Lace medallions and appliques will
replace the lace stripes in expensive
fabrics, though there are some pretty
effects in the latter. The former run
as high as $3.50 yard while the latter
begin at Is cents and range to rs. Mus
Inns are always acceptable and those
made on hand looms in the Swiss can
tons make as chic frocks as one could
desire trimmed in hand-painted 60 uzes
and lelicate embroideries.

will be executed in Scotch plaids of

ty for such a dress. Instead of the
plain skirt there will be an elaborate
affair laid in narrow plaits and almost

see some of those suits stitched with

The lutte fascinator which has been
somewhat forgotten in the long reign
OF the ''red riding hoods" attached to
evening wraps has come again and a
guise not destined to resistless defeat.

A boa which will be commended for
its originality is composed of ostrich
feathers and tailless ermine, with
touches of white lace and black chiffon
The feathers and ermine wound spir-

dainty trimming for any bodice is
cOrsage bouquet of ribbon violets or
rOse-buds. 1t requires something like
sc yards of ribbon for this conceit, but
as they are made gratuitously in the
stores wher the ribbon is purchased
the bargain can hardly be considered a
poor one. Ribbon grapes and cherries
are also numbered with this newest
yagary of fashion
