 These indispensable affairs are of three kinds: The actual shirt waist, made severely plain of madras or chev- iot with yoke in the back and tucked or plain in front and fastened with studs and links. This waist is to be worn with the short skirt. The second sort is fashioned of lawn, sheer linen and all the fascinating array of thin fabrics and is made with tucks innu- merable, frillings of dainty lace and needlework. This is donned with the tailor made frock.
 Last, but by no means least in impor- tance, comes the very elaborate and off, ten expensive affair of silk mulle all over lace and silk from every country and cline. An allurfng waist of this dressy persuasion is made of almost transparent white silk over colored silk lining. Insertions of valenciennes lace trim the silk, while at intervals are applied groups of shamrocks in the
 natural green coloring. This green
 note in the applique in no way inter- feres With the color of the inner lining; indeed, it seemed to accentuate the pretty effect.
 Coarse white, linens promise to be fa- vorites for gowns as the season ad- vances, and the embroiderers are now working the loveliest designs in pale | blue and green lawns inserted into white net with which to trim the linen. Another material for the summer frock l is a thick canvas which resembles the ! ugly holland that used to be the rage some years ago-but only in color. 1 Pale blue embroidery like madeira l xryif Ia, l,<I gowns exquisitely.y The blue holes heading the kilted founce and outlining the bolero from neck to waistband are
 laced back and forth with pale blue l lawn over a chenisette of white muslin and valenciennes insertions. Upon the | sleeves these same blue trimmings run h from elbow to wrist and lace in the same way over muslin. The lawn ties 1 in bow at the wrist, and the whole
 makes a delightful gown.

 Lace insertions are being introduced in some of the long gloves, while with el-
 bow sleeves the mitten is being worn. l The new kind is somewhat between a | InGQldGVdl GULL Suu luC OlQ OT1SlIldl l ten.
 Parasols bid fair to outshine all their famous predecessors by way of gor- l geousness, being adorned not only on | the outside, but every inside rib has a l touch of f1uffiness. The handles of i many are works of art, principally ot
 the 'new art'' styles, which have in- vaded all realms of sartorial things. | suppose after this spirit becomes thor
 oughly at home we will be walking
 around in frocks like those seen in pie l lures of Aubrey Beardsley or Max 1 Beerbohm.
 Individuality in dress, fashion of ones own, certain feeling in ones
 attire best suited to express the partic- l ular kind of beauty one owns, is the
 cry nowadays. The trouble is that one I is never sure just how long this style l will be ones own, as some copying kind I of person is liable to come along and adopt this individuality for her partic-
 ular cachet. But all of life is a gamble
