Linderie Hats,

The lingerie hats of exquisite ba-
tiste or null or fine Swiss embroider-
les and Valenciennes lace are lovelier
than ever this season, and innumer-
able changes are rung upon combine
tons of lace and flowers. Nets plain
or dotted with large chenille waters
are shirred and plated into airy,
broadrimmed shapes and trimmed
with flowers and soft silk scarfs.
Shaded straws and straws of count
less new weaves are shown. Linen
hats inset with lace and picturesque
in shape are among the new offerings
as well as more severe linen models
for outing and mourning wear
Garden lunches and flower wreaths
divide the honors and there are many
flowers and bud fringes which are
used profusely. Cockades. choux, ro-
settles, mercury wings, cupid wings
and quilts are called into service for
the sailor hats.

The Millinery of Summer.

The large and the small hat are In
equal favor this season. For semi
dress occasions the small or medium
sized turban or sailor is perhaps in
better taste, but the vogue Of the
wide dropping shoulders in costumes
and wraps will undoubtedly make the
picture hat more popular than ever.
The blending Of delicate pink and
blue is a feature of many hats, and in
the association not only of small
flowers but of ribbons as well Is this
dlscernible. Green also Is a favored
color, and for the hat to complete q
green toilette or to be worn with a
black or dark blue or natural-col-
ored pongee or Shantung gown, 1t is
q most attractive shade. Green trim
mings-plumes, aigrettes, breasts and
ribbon velvet-provide this smart
touch when the hat is black, blue,
ecru or white. Brown and green Is
another popular combination.
No form OF headgear is more charm
ing than the dainty lingerie hat made
in simple baby" shape out of the
finest lace or embroidery, with a
large bow of ribbon as it's only trim
ming. These hats have girlish eff
feet, and to be successful they should
be worn only by the youthful and
with dainty frocks.-From The De
lineator for July.

Fancy stocks are much simpler
than last year.
Turnovers of finest linen are de-
cidedly dainty.
Boas of any sort are not very much
in evidence.
A new heavy pongee has an almost
shaggy surface.
A favorite braid for wolfe gowns Is
the bright surfaced hercules.
Wreaths of daintiest small flowers
done in velvet, especially delicately
pale blue forget-me-nots, trim hats. :.
The latest development of the
sleeve frill Is the employment of fine
lace dyed to match the shade OF the
gown Chiffon is also largely used
for sleeve frills.
The fashionable decolletage line Is
somewhat higher this season, for, al
though the corsage is cut lower, it is
finished with a dainty tucker of nous
seine de sole, chiffon or net.
Pelerine collars slightly draped in
front and finishing to a point, leav-
ing the throat free, will be much
worn this summer. Another effective
collar yoke is yoke and bertha in
one, fitting closely on the shoulders
ard then falling with a full flare.

Tucked Sailor Blouse.


The sailor blouse is ever in demand.
1t may vary in detail, but essentially
is always the comfortable favorite
that is so indispensable. This one Is
novel, inasmuch as 1t includes fronts
box plated and tucked for their entire
length and sleeves that are tucked
above the elbows while they form full
puffs below, and is made of pale
blue linen with collar of white and
shield and trimming of embroidery,
but is quite as well suited to a long
list of fabrics. For yachting and SINH
lar sports 1t is admirable made of light
weight serge or mohair while all the
many linen and cotton fabrics are
much to be desired for the cotton
gowns.
The waist Is made with fronts and
back and is finished az the neck with
big sailor collar. The back is plain,
but the fronts are laid in a box plat
at each edge with three tucks at
each side and beneath the box plaits
the closing is made. The sleeves are
in one piece each, tucked at their up
per portions and gathered into
straight cuffs. The shield and stock
collar are separate and arranged I'M

OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, July 1S-Special-
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered
judgment that is of interest to the
whole United States. Put briefly. that
judgment is. "Dodds Kidney Pills are
the best Kidney medicine on the mar
ket to-day"
And Mr. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter l had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
T. the morning could hardly straight
en- my back. l did not know what It
was but an advertisement led me to-
try Dodd'5 Kidney Pills. After taking
one box can only say they have done
more for me than expected as ! feel
as well now as ever l did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. II not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some Of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

Smartest FACING for Hats.

BY all odds the smartest facing for
hats tc be worn with tailored dresses
is that built from narrow lingerie
frills. A facing Of net is cut to fit the
hat, then covered with innumerable
rufIles of narrow lace, either gathered
or accordion-pleated. Valenciennes
lace lends itself best to this sort of
facing, and IL vest, collar and half
sleeves of lace edged fiouncing are
worn with the linen suit, the har.
monious effect with the hat is very
good.
