, insertion vest, which blouses very
much in front hanging over white
! silk girdle, which comes from two
| tails in the back and forms a point
in the frOnt. Over this vest is care
| lessly tied black ribbon sailor knot,
with the ends hanging down. From
the bOlerO effect come two caps Of
the plain etamine over the sleeves
and to the strap, of open work, which
goes directly down the back and forms
the tails. This is edged with bias
bands and tiny buttons. The sleeves
are rather tight above and then COM
posed of the open work design, very
full and faring at the waist. AS a
browning glory there goes with the
toilette big black plated Illusion
hat with a long black ostrich feath-
er at one side, going from front to
back.
Mauve, that most fashionable OF
pale tintS, has at last been produced
in the linen fabrics. A dream Of a
mauve frOck is very simply made with
collar and cuffs and a bias band down
F, the center Of the bodice embroidered
in white of a delicate flower design,
the rest being tucked and opening
| down the front under the embroid-
cred band and blousing very much
a girdle at the waist. The sleeves are
tucked above and fall full and loose
over the embroidered cuffs.
The skirt, likewise tucked and
| stitched to within foot or so from
| the bottom, where it flares over the
| feet, is not too long and has a band
| similar to that on the bodice down
| the center of the front.
Anything SO elegant as an all lace
! gown seems WantOn extravaganza
when worn in the water, but as a
matter Of fact both lace gowns and
coats will be prominent features of
, yachting week fashions. Something
| extremely chic in coarse black lace
and black silk may be made over
| white. The lace should be so ar
ranged upon the skirt that the white
will show through. pretty way
would be to have it run up in linesc,
the lace and then the silk fitting
closely over the hips with long sweep
ing train at the back and flaring
gracefully over the feet.
The bodice might have a white
silk and chiffon vest let in and the
belt might blouse over a girdle Of
cruhed silk
Not content with it's natural ele-
gance, smart mOdistes are outlining
many of the Renaissance braid dress
es with cut steel and jet beads. The
effect Of course, is regal When
glistening passementeries. beads and
the like are employed, however, it
is better to have the gown entirely
black because the effect is always
more elegant. An exception may be
made in a touch of white without
spelling the ensemble, but this should
be yelled with a little black lace or
sharp contrast
The important thing in all fash
lonable effects Is to avoid sharp con
trasts and hard lines, every little de
vice is sought and almost anything
is permissible that will lend a soft
touch to a bodice especially and
| nothing accomplishes this better than
a bit of chiffon and lace

mer gowns is not ample as she
would wish can in a measure make
up the deficiency by keeping on hand
; a stock of ribbons Of all widths. fol
nothing adds a smarter touch to a
bodice than ribbon flower garni

Double-faced satin ribbon is usej
for the purpose and about ten yards
are required for pretty corsage bou
