The Summer Girls Gowns.

1t will be great silk summer this
year, Pongees, foulards, and taffetas
will all be much worn, not only for
shirt waist suits, but for much more
elaborate costumes, and separate silk
and lace short jackets will also be in
particular favor with the coquettish
summer girl.
Many of the smartest gowns will be
made of pongee silk. An exclusive
model, made up in pongee in it's natu-
raj color but with a dainty embroid-
cred design worked in delicate blue,
shows much Cluny lace as the trim
ming and many rows of shirring The
shirring is of the old fashioned sort,
done over feather bone piping, AMI
is arranged as a frame for the broad
lace insets which trim the skirt The
blouse body is of the Cluny lace inser-
ton, joined with band of pongee, EN-.
broidered in pale blue silk French
knots. A pretty effect is given the
blouse by a jacket Of lace worn over
it, bound with broad band of the
pongee, from which silk ornaments
in the same shade as the silk dangle.
The sleeve of this gown is one of the

fitting at the upper part of the arm
and extremely wide and flowing at
the wrist. 1t is with a gown of this
sort that flower trimmed hat is worn
with afrill of lace falling over the
brim.
Another new and pretty way of in
Producing rows of shirring on a gown
is to have the yoke Of the skirt shirred
and the lower part of the bodice treat
ed in the same fashion and snugly
feather boned to the figure, in this
way giving princess effect to the
gown. For the girl who is tired of the
pouch effect this style of dress is sure
to appeal. A frock made in this way
was lovely creation of white etamine
almost fine enough to be mistaken for
a voile. The bodice was made with
finely SHRED yoke. of white chiffon
and worn with pretty little sleeve
less jacket of white Irish lace. The
same lace decorated the graceful
skirt, the lower part of which was &C.
Gordon plated.
When the summer girl wishes to
look the most captivating in the morn
ing she will appear in either a fresh
hand embroidered linen shirt waist
suit or in crisp looking shirt waist
costume of taffeta. The stylish way
of making taffeta shirt waist dress
is to trim. it with medallions of Irish
or Paraguay lace. with French knots
in some striking contrasting color out
lining each medallion. Two medal
lions are sufficient to use on the shirt
waist, which will look smart if fast
ened with pearl buttons, which are so
much the fashion this season.
The summer coquette, whether she
be mountain maid or seashore nymph,
will look carefully to her most attrac-
tive feature, her hair; low couture
will be popular, as the continual curl
ing which takes up so much of the
summer coquette's time will be prac-
tically eliminated, for with her low
couture she will wear her dainty hair
nets which now come in variety of
pretty forms and figures.
This bewitching summer girl de-
ponds much upon her sunshade. And
perhaps it is because of this that the
sunshades are made of chiffon with
lace appliques and lowered ribbons
alternating with bands of lace inser-
ton. They come in bright shades of
silk with borders of a contrasting
color or they are scattered with dia-
monds or crescents of black velvet. |
And as for their handles, they make |
you think you have arrived at a me-
nagerie. MARIE TOURS.
