frills falling from square, pointed or round
yoke effects. The sleeves are elaporateiy
picturesque, generally falling away from
bare arms to disclose dimples and brace
let's. The neck is cut out as much as pro-

the market may be used for them, and If
the tea pouring is a modest occasion the
simplest batistes may be employed.
A society girl who is to summer at the
seashore has provided herself with three
charming coffee jackets. which cost all told

yellow. azala pink and azure white point

cents the yard. 1t is put on the edges Of
the frills. which are in clusters at the top,
and this butterfly prettiness is worn with
white duck and pique skirts. The girl calls
her delicious and inexpensive f1nery hot
weather duds.'' For footwear she has
bought Inglisi sandals of tan leather. Re
member these wonderful foot coverings If
you have small feet to shoe. for no health
Ter shoes can be found in the world. In the
most pretentious quarters of London els-
gantly dressed children go by with the bare
skin of their small feet only covered by
sandal straps. and their legs entirely bare.
These sandals are sold at several of the
good shops in New York.
But to return to our muttons-negliges
and the lesser splendors that come under
that head.
Kimona Garments.
Kimona gowns and sacques of crinkled
cotton crepe and of plain and figured woods
in gauzy qualities are to be had in all the
shops at moderately low prices. Flowered
and striped wash ribbons. in dainty Vatican
and pompadour designs border them pretti-
ly around the neck and sleeves where such
modes are alone trimmed. Philippine suit
ing and tissues-thin cotton weaves some
| what like cheesecloth in auality-compose
| some of the odd kimonas They are deco
rated with bands of a similar material IN
| a contrasting effect-plain bands with fig
| ured textiles figured borders with plain
bands.
| These imported cottons are new to the
| country, and they show the brilliant vege-
| table dyes employed alone in the Philip
| pines. The most gorgeous yellows, blues
and reds wash without losing tinge OF
| their brilliancy. Some of the tints, espe-
| cially a deep blue on the maZarin order,
are indescribably rich.
Upon coarse straw hats, intended for
| rough country wear, scarfs and bands of
| the Philippine tissues are sometimes seen.
Headgear thus decorated is of course, con-
| sdered very modest but the smart world
| has Endorsed the Philippine stuffs of all
| sorts. dame who might buy and sell her
neighbor wears the gauzy cottons of the
| oriental peasant. while the neighbor dis
| ports herself in the silks and satins which
are supposed to indicate gentility.
Her Tiny Chenilles.
Another hot weather wrinkle comes from
the Philippines in the shape of bed room
slippers. In that land Of perpetual SUM-
shine ladies of exalted station think MOTH
ing of going out with bare feet thrust into
slippers without heel or heel-piece. These
slippers are held on merely by the vamp,
which ends in a blunt point. They are
spelled 'chenilles'' and pronounced quite
differently Those worn by the common
Philippine women are of coarse carpet
StuffS and Paudy Powered yelyetS. which
are warranted to last lifetime. But the
great lady has her little "chenilles'' of the
finest satin and silks with rich embroid-
cries of lace medallions appliqued on. Such
slippers and others Of his own Invention
the American merchant now offers for bed
room use in the dog days"
One of the inventions is a slipper of thin
French kid Of correct Chenille shape" in
delicate pastel shades. These make a
charming accompaniment to a gown of the
same color MARY DEAN.
