The deep yoke and sleeve caps are

upper yoke tucked horizontally, which
is one with the stock. The sleeves

elbow, which is draped with the long
full puff The girdle is OF black satin

trimmed with ostrich plumes and ro-

costume.
Aurore. the new shade Of pink and
thistle blue are both cool looking ana
charming. A pretty summer frock
in the former shade is carried out in
chiffon over pink silk of slightly
darker shade Both bodice and skirt
are tucked and lace-trimmed. The
former has a white lace yoke coming
over the shoulders and round the
front where it points upward, met by
the tiny tucks which come down 10
a tiny lace girdle. The collar. which
is of lace. is also touched with pale
pink. The sleeves are tucked above
with the lace insertion, becoming
very full from elbow to wrist, where
they are caught into cuffs.
The skirt is plain over the hips
being deliberately trimmed with tucks
and insertion above che full flounce,
which finishes it round the bottom
and also having tuckS and insertion
at the extreme bottom of the flCunce,
which sweeps the floor in the back
and falls down very long over the
feet.
The dyed laces are quite the smart
est trimming one could select and they
are most effective in grey. deli
cate wolfe suitable for afternoon wear
is trimmed with il. The bodice has
a deep pointed yoke of grey lace COM
ing down low over the shoulders. with
tuckings from the yoke to the waist,
blousing in front with a high girdle
Of lOuisine around the waist. Above
the elbow the sleeves are tucked with
the lace below. coming quite full
into a gulf of lace at the wrist.
Over the hips are tiny tucks to-
make the skirt fit perfectly: these ex
tend downwards for several inches,
with a wide band of lace directly
down the front breadth and then
around the top OF the full tucked
bottom, falling full and long over the
feet with a long sweeping train at
the back.
The tailor-made suits of linen and
crash are exceedingly jaunty and SER
viceable. They are made with jack
cts and blouses, but the latter are
preferable Heavy strappings of the
same material are stitched over the
skirt to form a hip-yoke an extend
down either side OF the front to with
in few inches of the bottom. when
they are again carried round the
skirt. Under these blouses are worn
dainty shirt waists, and with a smart
ready to- wear hat and white gloves.
it is hard to find a more attractive
street dress.
The thistle blue above spoken Of
goes well with these suits. A shirt of
unusual smartness has tapestry en-
brOidery on the canvass yoke and
stole front The blouse beautiful is
a fascinating subject and one that is
never more interesting then now.
The shirt waist suit holds its own
and is branching out to constitute the
exclusive models of this particular
fashion. Madras. dimity, China and
Japanese silks, chambray. rayeehani
all the smart wash materials are
used to make very pretty shirt waist
dresses. The simple designs are in
best taste though sometimes there is
noticed tendency toward elabOra-
ton.
A useful novelty for the woman who
fits from place to place during the
summer season Will be found in the
wardrobe trunk 1t is not too large,
or too small and so conveniently ar
ranged that gowns Of all descriptions
may be packed in it and remain for
weeks without getting Wrinkled. Just
now it is expensive because new, but
it is something that will last almost
a lifetime and yet be always useful.
