-
ginghams with a deep yoke formed Of
bands Of linen and fagoted together
with mixture. The yoke comes down
very low over the shoulders, with a
curved design here and there over it.
This also forms the upper part Of the
sleeves, which are full below the ell
bow and gathered into cuffs Of the
fagotted linen bands. The bodice
blouses quite full over a Maria Antoi-
nette girdle Of black pean de sole.
Completing the costume Is a fine
French chip with short, wide crown
and spreading brim trimmed with
black tulle and black and white mar
guerites.
A pretty white organdie which may
be duplicated In any other color and
~diaphanous material shows a unique
arrangement Of lace darned with pale
pink carnations. The lace forms the
upper part of the skirt in a deep yoke
and extends In panels down the front,
bpck and sides OF the skirt in four
strips. The carnations are delicately
woven into making a rich and beau
tiful effect. Between the panels of lace
the organdie Is accordion plated and
appliqued at the bottom with dep
pointed mcdalliOns Of lace that forms
the yoke.
The bodice carries out the same
idea, but with notifications. The
yoke Is a compromise between a
square and round effect and extends
low over the shoulders In pointed
effect TO form the tops of the sleeves.
1t extends down the front of the bod.
Ice in two narrow panels between
which is sandwiched the vest of or
candle stripped with tiny bands Of
lace insertion. The sleeves are OF the
%carnation embroidered lace.
Somewhat severe. but of the chic,
Is a tailor gown of white butchers
linen. The skirt has a pointed hip
yoke set over graduated box plaits
that extend all around the figure. The
bottom Of the plaits is decorated with
intersacting circles of fancy white
braid buttoned onto the linen with tiny
carved pearl buttons. The idea Is now
and promises to become popular, for
the trimming a be SO easily removed
in case of an emergency.
The bodice is also laid In box plaits
and has a pointed yoke. Instead Of
being composed entirely OF lace, how.
ever, the yoke IS made up Of irregular
bands Of the lace alternated with
strips of fine white suisse, tucked di.
a%gonally. The collar is very low and
slashed at the center of the front just
enough to reveal the outline of the
throat.
Thc latest innovation IN me line or
silks Is a dead white pongee. The
s~hade--one might call 1t thus, for
there Is really color to ills trying
and unless II has a perfect complex
ion II casts a dismal blush tint over
the already freckled-and-tanned phys
iognamy of the summer nj
1t makes up diliciously. however.
There are three lace medallions over
the back Of the model under discus
sion and two in front. with d rounded
yoke Of white lace in the back. which
comes down TO the center of the front
with tiny white silk o The
rest of the bodice Is In tiny tncks, as
are also the upper part Of the sleeves
to a little below the elbow from
whence a very full undersleeve
caught into cuffs Of lace.
The skirt is rather plain. fitting
closely over the hips with two wide
bands OF lace an equal distance apart.
running around the skirt vertically
and falling quite full and long over
the feet with n sweeping train at the
back.
Accompanying the toilette is a big
white straw hat fitting up from the
