Apple Green Foulard.

A dainty afternoon frock seen recently on
a woman who, though her own modiste, Is
famous for her chic, was OF apple green
fculard over which meanoered at Its own
sweet will q sprawly design in white Inc
jupe at the hips was fitted into gathers,
which, translated, merely means that the
FITNESS was very finely gathered In two
rows around the waist belt. At the hem
were three two-inch tucks. 1 must not for
get to say that the front gore was PLAIN.
AS for the bodice, it was a shirred con1ec-
ton gathered six rows deep around a shall
low yoke of alternate rows or tucked Da-
tiste and insertions of lace. Inc sleeves,
which looked like veritable butternles, were
shrred UP both arm seams, the outer gath-
ering being caught up in tiny PIN tuck
shrrs almost to the shoulder. where they
flared out in winged effect. A deep cum OF
batiste and lace net this fouiard putterny
sleeve at the elbow. The high, stralght
die shirred high in the back end rather low
er In front held in place the waist nuiil9 rs
which bloused over it all around. This lit
tie toilet was extremely smart.
Indian Null.
For warm summer days both at home
and abroad nothing is more charming than
a frock of Indian null, accordion plaited
as to skirt and waist. both being overlalo
with bands of Irish crochet lace.
the weather permits of wrap Will pe
worn the treasured lace shawl which IN our
grandmothers' pictures appear SO alluLi !,s
draped on the shoulders, with long sioe
pins of coral or gold and formed , INTO
hood at the back. 1t would not surprise
me in the least if these ShaWls shouiu
make their entree this summer arranged IN
the same fashion. Chantilly lace sha"ls
are the favorite selection.
/ hear with genuine regret OF the Pa7s ri
of the bolero from the sartorlal World: l ne
cry of "Wolfr has long been heard pu.
this time l am afraid he is at the ooor
with intent to kill the attractlse h'.ie o1h;no
ct. The short full sack coat reaching
barely to the waist is to triumph over the
fallen bClero, and woe to the woman VI
too. too solid proportions who makes tne
exchange A short sack coat whose Daslc
fabric is white taffeta fashioned with
woke of swiss embroidery and ruffles OF
nIaited chiffon down its diminutive length
is a charming summary addition TO one
wardrobe.
A Fete Frock.
To be carried with the fete frock Is the
new floral sunshade. not an entire parasoi
of blossoms but sunshade whose rlps are
outlined with small flowers or whose lace
design covers the whole, which Is prettlly
traced with pansies or tiny roses linen
my lady beautiful may carry fan OF
flowers to match her sunshade. This trlHe
is of gauze hand painted with ones raw
orite blossom. and if this posy Is not 100
large it or its petals may form border
around the edge.
If of the world worldly you will wear sus-
pended from a chain a tiny mirror hidden
in a flower The orchid is a favorite flower
for this purpose, and, indeed. here in Paris
it is the only corsage flower which receives
fashions sanction. Bernhard and the
Comtesse de Castellane have done much TO
bring this expensive fad into favor.
Bead Purses.
am quite confident that If the celebrated
Maria of Leeds who made for her aunt
purse of beads should return to Paris she
would be astonished to see the very pattern
of her purse adjoining a Worth evening
gown In other words, the latest develop
ment of the bead craze has broken out as
trimming for the ball costume. Bands and
berthas formed of forgetmenots and clus-
ters of rosebuds worked out in the faintest
shades of blue, green and pink beads are
the lovely corsage finish of smart frock
of changeable 'taffeta In exquisite tone
of oyster gray. One might imagine this
trimming heavy and clumsy looking, but
quite the contrary effect is gained when
the bertha of beads Is softened with q
riot of dainty fOunces of chiffon.
If you would be ultra smart and ahead
of the fashions you must have one summer
belt of rich mandarin yellow leather. Sc
