NOTES OF THE MODES.
Trimmings and Materials That EN-
ter Into the Composition of
Summer Costumes.

Pipings are one of the revivals in
trimming, and red and white, blue
and white or black and white foulard
pipes many of the canvas and other
wool frocks in plain color.
This season, when you pay a fancy
price for simple outing hat, you
won't receive the equivalent of your
money in material. You'll be paying
For ines-elusive, chic lines-upon
which the hats success depends.
In the province of the street
frock, the tailor frock, the white
costume is more conspicuous this
season than ever before. We have
had the sheer white gowns, the
white gowns of clinging silken stuffs
for house and evening wear, but
never were tailored frocks of white
worn so generally as they will be
this year.
Lawns in sheerer quality are made
up more deliberately for afternoon
frocks and share with dimity the
honor of being the most serviceable
of white wash stuffs. Filmier and
naturally Trailer are the French
batistes, which are enjoying ire
mendous vogue and this season there
are several new mulls.
Very pretty are the wide yokes of
gagged, spotted ecru net in blouses
of colored crepe de chine. with a
great amount of hand stitchery. It
is amazing what quantity of beau
tiful work can be put into apparent
ly simple bdouses. Anyone on linn
tied dress allowance may be thank
full if she is really good needle
woman, because it is the labor ex-
pended on hand work that brings
blouses to such a high price. If you
want inexpensive blouses buy the
simplest pattern you can and copy
it, always remembering that tucks
should be hand-stitched.
Many of the handsome new dresses
show elaborate undersleeve effects.
If well held in these are pleasing.
Too saggy and droopy schemes, how
ever, look positively untidy, especial
ly for the street. Old sleeves may be
made thus modish very easily. A
handsome black broadcloth was thus
treated. The sleeve was ripped up
the back seam to the elbow. A ruffle
of black chiffon was set in, puff fash
ion. Each side of it was one of
black silk point de Venise lace. The
edges of the cloth were hidden by an
applique of oriental embroidery like
that on the cuffs and at the fronts.
