came leather bands for the wrists. A
set of this kind would be very smart

over a linen suit for any outing pur-

strip for the belt 1t is not finished
upon either edge. but is plain and
neat. Then there are the suede bands
for the sleeves and the neck. These
can be worn over nice dresses. for they
are very smart
While speaking of the fancies OF the
summer girl, one must not forget to
mention the granny shawls which are
to be so much worn this season. They
come il every color and are made Of
almost every material under the sun.
And they can be bought in knitted
goods, in cashmere and in the heavier
shawl stuns. There can also be OBJ
tanned the granny shawl with the thin
stripe and the old-fashiOned shawl
with the crepe stripe.
The typical granny shawl is perfect
ly square. 1t must be folded so that
the point comes down in the middle Of
the back. and it is TO be thrown around
the shoulders and fastened upon the
bust in the middle of the chest. 1t can
be secured with a big old-fashioned
cameo pin, which is the smart fasten-
ing for it.
But there are other ways TO wear
the granny shawl and one OF these Is
folded long and thrown around the
shoulders This shawl hangs down in
front and passes under the arms in
stead of over them. Then there is the
granny shawl which is worn in Cuban
fashion. throws around the head and
draped around and across the shOul-

twenty years ago will tell you how to
do it.
And as for the shawls themselves
What fntrfcacies Of knitting do they
show, what variety OF pattern, what
wonders Of silk and wool, all cunningly
intermfngled There are shawls knit
ted as fine as a web and in the midst
of the webbing there are marvellous
flowers all crocheted by hand. and
in many Of the shawls there Is an ap-
pIique Of roses and there are strips OF
lace cunningly set.
But to turn from the other question
Of dress to the one Of shoes is not a
difficult matter. for shoes are cOnspicu-
Gus this year by reason Of the short
skirts, and the woman Of the season is

lower than the Spanish. They are very
neat and display the instep charming

was worn, and there were stockings
with web so flmy as to seem more like
lace than like stockings.
But the smartest thing OF all is the
summer girls pumps These are cut on
precisely the same lines as a mans
dancing pumpss They are cut very
low and are worn without string or
button. The feet are slipped into them
and the girl walks Off.

shows that they will be popular the
coming summer.
There is more and more Of a ten

Taking it all in all. after study OF
the weeks styles. one can safely affirm
three things First that the fashions
have changed wonderfully. This is a
fact which must be evident to the
casual observer. Second. that skirts
are more important than waists and
dominate the style of the dress more
completely.
In addition to the skirts there are
other things to be noted. Sleeves ars
