The original design OF one very pretty
set was made OF heavy linen. bordered
by eyelet embroidery. done in mer-
cerized cotton. The pattern was a
simple four leaf clover in a running
vine.
The small eyelet holes were placed
On the inner side OF the tabs. and
through these were drawn white silk
shoe lacings tied in bow with ends.
Narrow ribbon and silk cords are also
substituted.
Valenciennes Trimmed.
An exquisitely fine one OF sheer mus
lin was trimmed with narrow valen-
ciennes lace insertion, and the latter
was used for the lattice work The
effect was very pleasing.
CoIored lacings are decidedly chic, es-
peciaIly so when they match the color
OF the embroidery work.
Another dainty Priscilla set recently
fashioned by a needle devotee was made
OF cream-tinted all-over batste en-
broidery, cut in small scallops. and
bound by the same shade OF narrow

toned quilted effect called rose-duilling

for the making OF these sets; heavy ar-S

Drawing Room Gown.

drawing room the other day was OF black

article is so expensive. One can buy the
material for a handsome fitted girdle for
a dollar or so. But to purchase a buckle
sets the purchaser back so or more.
There are buckles that are beautiful
enough for the handsomest jewel case,
and the woman who owns these eXquis-
tie affairs is as careful Of them as OF her
diamonds.
II Is not alone with the street gown
that the handsome tirdle Is worn. but
with the evening and party dress. In
deed, many OF the nicer dinner gowns
quite depend for their glory upon the lit
tie things Of dress-the belt the sash.
the girdle. and other waist garnishings-
while not secondary to these are the
neck trimmings. which are numerous
and certainly varied.
One must by no means ignore the
fichu. which is the handsomest thing of
the season. One handsome fichu is
made OF white silk muslin. completely
covered with white silk embroidery
over this embroidery there are raised
flowers in colors Of rose. The whole is

And there are f1chus that knot upon
the breast and hang down far below
the waist line. But these low hanging
fChus somehow have the suggestion OF
a neglige, and one cannot get rid Of the
idea that they are more appropriate
upon the dinner gown than upon the
breakfast dress.
One OF these handsome fichus is made
of fine white net decorated with lovely
floral embroidery. Flowers chase each
other all over the fichu, so that, when

Fichu pins are much seen. They are
handsome little jeweled ornaments for
fastening the fchu to the sash or to
the bodice. They are not stick pins,
but are substantial pins. very much set
with COlOred stones or made OF plain
pearl, in whose depths many colors
shine.
The fancy Of throwing something or
other around the neck is a growing one.
F'urs have already appeared. and women
who own handsome sable collars are
wearing them with their evening gowns
even though 1t be summer time. The
custom of wearing furs all the year
around has always been the vogue
abroad. But 1t has not always been the
brought out and women who own a

Bell Made of gloves.

It takes only one pair OF gloves to
make an adequate belt for the summer
girl. Oh, no. It Is not that her waist Is
so small, but that the gloves 10 be
used are long evening gloves.
She takes a pair OF discarded suede
gloves of shoulder length and rips up
the seam, cutting OF the hand. The
glove is then the rlGht shape for the
belt when opened cut, and the two
gloves joined in the ceI er. She lines
tu@ns on the edges and stitches them
on the machine Also stitches the back
and finishes IL with three gold bosses
or fiat buttons covered with kid from
the outer glove. Result, a very fetching
waist clrclet at small cost.

digress long enough TO say that beads
are worn in the day time as well as in
the evening and there are great strings
of gems Of all kinds. Strings Of gold
beads that fell almost TO the floor were
wound around the throat Of a guest of
the Queens garden party the other day.
And It was Mrs. Arthur PaFet who in
augurated the custom Of wearing strings
Of pearls In the day time and great
ropes Of turquoise beads.
The buying Of strings Of beads is con-
sIdered a good investment these days
and women who wish to enuven their
costumes are investing in strings OF
silver, crystal, and duh thick pinkish
enamel

ruffie OF net bordered with lace. But
the prettiest feature is the petticoat
worn underneath This petticoat Is made
OF white lawn. And II IS trimmed with
a lace insertion through which a wide
white ribbon IS run. This ribbon is
tied IN a big bow upon the middle Of
the front, a bow which shines through
the gown.

not few. that the day Of Transparent

In the shops and as noted upon the
counters, one can count half a dozen
thin materials 10 one heavy one. And.
so, IN spite OF the vogue for satins,
heavy silks. for chiffon velvots and for
the great variety OF French dotted and
figured silks, one does see thin stufrs.
Transparencies that show lovely little
floral figures are made up INTO the pref
test evening and dancing gowns ever
seen Many OF these dresses are made
on the picture order so that one looks
just like an old-time picture with the
same faded tones and the same strik-
ing characteristics.
Il is said that every woman who
wants % dress well prays that she may
be picturesque Unless she can look like

by suggesting a substitute. There are
cheap net laces. which make up beau

crochet laces in dull black that look
precisely like the real.
A net gown is not difficult to make
