figure. Everything depends upon
perfect outline. A trained skirt is
quite wrong without dropping shoul-
der line and a touch of white tends
to lend the figure fullness. A white
yoke in the bodice gives the appear
ance of shoulder depth and breadth.
while fiat chested figure can be ton
ed up in the most stunning fashion
by the use of white vests, iabots, and
other trimming down the centre of
the front
A striking example of'the black and
white mombnation is shown a flower
ed chiffon gown with borders of black
chiffon. The background is white
clouded with black. The gown is
made over rose color, so that pink
tints CLEAN through the flmy black
and white. The skirt, long and grace
full, is made in very simple manner
with flounce bordered with a two
inch fold of black chiffon. The bodice
has bolero of the chiffon that ends
midway between the neck and the
ping girdle and is bordered with a
two-inch band of black chiffon. The
upper sleeves also terminate in simil-
lar folds, and when the wearera arms
hang at her sides these bolero bands
are on line with those of the sleeves
and is really striking.
Summer coats which seem to be
the rage just now are by no means
new for we have had them in pongree
canvass, voile etamine, taffeta and
other material but the latest novelty
in this direction beggars description.
1t is a delightful coat of grass linen
made over liberty satin and peau de
Cygne, intended to rather increase
the fashionable ensemble than to add
to comfort, for it is merely trifie
light as air and billowy" as sea
foam.
The design is very loose fitting with
an inverted box plat running down
the center of the back over the
shoulders there is draped a pointed
collar of linen edged with the finest
of thread lace and hand embroidered.
AT the front the collar extends in a
long stole TO the bottom of the coat
which is a little less than three quar-
ter length.
At either side OF the front the
skirt of the coat is slashed to depth
on nine inches, the incision being lace
bordered and finished at the top with
tassels OF silk and chiffon.
Green in the coolest and most de-
lightful shades, is being used for
dainty summer gowns. A very fetch
ing design has the skirt made with
a yoke over the hips composed of
shirrings while medallions of lace are
let in, coming TO a point in front and
lifting the hips closely. Below the
yoke the skirt falls very fun with
wide tuckings around the bottom and
a long sweeping train al the back.
The dress is made over d slip of laf-
feta, which can easily be duplicated
in lawn trimmed with ruffles of the
same material, edged with lace at
the bottom of the skirt The bodice
has a deep yoke formed like the yoke
on the skirt of shirring and lace me-
dallions let in; tiny horizontal tuck
ings compose the vest, which comes
into the waist quite full, blousing in
front and hooking up the back with an
apple green silk girdle~ around the
waist. The sleeves are tucked quite
tight to the elbow, with very full man.
dolin puffs appliqued with the lace
falling to the wrist and gathered into
a clerical cuff of lawn and lace.
A notable feature of the linen frock
which promises to become so popular
is the short skirt, but what one
saves on this must be expended ON the
boot SO far as money is concerned,
the matter is as broad as il is long.
With a short skirt one has the choice
of high boot, patent leather almost
every time, or of shoes and stockings
chosen for each other Grey, pale
blue, champagne, and other colors
of shoes with precisely matching
stockings are not to be despised and
are really elegant in effect.
