WHAT WOMEN TALK AND THINK ABOUT
HARMONY OF HAT AND GOWN


10 The summer girl is still buying gowns
and an idea OF hers Just now is to have
her hat in some way show that it was
t. be worn with the gown she wishes to
wear it with. It is not necessary that it
should exactly match the frock, but
merely that there should be something in
the hat which. is reflected in the dress.
a new gown of pongee, trimmed with
ecru Irish crochet lace is worn with a
hat trimmed with the same lace. This
pa rticu1ar gown Of pale blue pongee.
Each gore Of the skirt is outlined with
black embroidered French knots. while
the flare is supported by hairc1oth intro
duced In the underskirt. The f:IInty lace
trimmed bodice has a, deep pc blue silk
| ton and tends to emphasize the new fig
lure-the French curve, which all the
girls are SO anxious to have this season.
The French curve is accomplished by "a
simple little appliance, known as the Ros-
alind, which has a really miraculous way
| of adding length to the waist line and
making the gown hang as it should. An
|other feature Of this waist is the pretty
way in which plae blue satin Liberty rib

knotted here and ther and ending in front
with two dangling ends. The French

are also used to decorate; the little turn
over collar and to trim the cuff.
Lace nitts are the proper thing to wear
| with frock of this sort, and the hat is
of ecru Irish lace and baby blue tulle It
! Is becoming shape with allow, broad
crown and the brim tlaring off the face.
Under the brim and tucked close to the
hair at the left side is a bunch of tiny
pink 'rosebuds, which look as if they were

The transparent effect is a noticeable
! feature of many of the prettiest summer
gowns. There are charming dresses this
year of white dotted muslin with insets

an all-White gown. The waist Is generally:
a dainty blouse, fastening in the back
with small pearl buttons. and having a
deep yoke and transparent stock collar Of
Irish lace, which is stinened a trif1e with
featherbone to keep it in place. With a
fllmy gown of this sort 1T is q good idea to
| have the silk or lawn ,l11derwaist boned
with featherbone, as this will keep the
figure in shape. The dotted muslins are
50 much the fashion this year that they
are not only made up In dressy costumes,

shirt-waist suits as well.
Dotted n1uslins also make up very eff

over the SWisses that they launder well
and can be purchased for quarter of the
price.
In soft materials the full skirt is now
practically universal. All the thin mate
rails are either plated, tucked or shirred
to give the desired fullness. Yet with all
