A Gown of Dimity With Irish Crochet Collar.

English tailor. wear nothing but white.
There is nothing in the world that is
half as distinctive and nothing half as
elegant
THE woman who dresses in white on a
hot day is as elegantly apart from all
others, from a dress standpoint. as
though she were dressed in cloth OF gold.
There is luster about white. an at
tractive finish, a certain cool and ele-
gantiy dainty something. which catches
the eye and holds it,
But if you are fat. welI"-and this
with a shrug of the shoulders-''well. IN
that case there is nothing TO be done
Wear dark colors. preferably black. and
keep out Of sight"
The fat woman is undoubtedly the bette
noire of the French dressmaker and or
! the London tailor. 1t Is impossible 10
make her look nice. No matter what
| you put on her she still looks over
dressed. And, II allowed 20 follow her
bent. which is always for the flower and

sight 20 behold.

Lady CuIzon's Gowns.
The Lady Curzon gowns are lovely to
the last degree. One is a marvel in fine
cream-colored India linen, trimmed as
so many gowns are. with Oriental en-
broidery. This embroidery is used In
quite a novel manner and In way
which viii recommend itself TO the
woman with a little time for needle
work
The suit is a two-piece suit, in other
words a shirt waist suit The skirt Is
very full and is laid in the smallest side
piaits upon the narrow skirt band.
Around the foot II spreads out and it is
trimmed with three wide fiounces, each
fiounce hemmed with a deep hem Above
the hem there is set band OF Oriental
embroidery showing blue and red and
green and yellow. all prettily blended.
But il is the waist which is the pref
test Cut on the shirt waist order. II
buttons IN the back and the buttons are
white pearl buttons. set frankly down
the back. not hidden under a stat. They
are in very brilliant pearl, opalescent.
and showing deep colors.
At Small Price.
These opalescent pearl buttons are TO
be had In the shops at small price.
and they certainly dress up a waist mar
velously. More than that, they are be-
coming more and more fashionable. and

tons and as buttons for the cloth gowns
which are worn In the autumn.
The front OF this shirt waist was plain
with the full shirred bust, its fuilness
laid upon the plain yoke in the old
fashioned round waist style. and the
whole brought down into the band OF a
pointed belt
But the pretty feature, the feature
which viii appeal to the summer girl.
was the very wide round collar which
was thrown around the shoulders. This
collar. which lays fat around the neck.
was deep enough 10 fall down over the
sleeves. II was the same width all the
way around and entirely covered the
yoke OF the gown. Its body material
was very fine linen, so fine you could
see through II. And its stitchery was
all in brilliant colors.
An Oriental Collar.
To get some idea of the pretty effects
which can be obtained by this Oriental
stitchery IL is only necessary TO take
an old piece of chiffon for foundation.
NO matter how crumpied IT may be IT
can be pressed and made to answer the
purpose. OF course piece OF expensive
sheer linen is better. but good heavy
weight OF chiffon will do.
