Summer Gowns

Valencienaes lace and insertion in every
width trim the white muslin gowns. Very
often wide insertion is used edged with
very narrow lace, and another fancy OF
the summer is to sew narrow insertions
together forming a band seven or eight
inches wide. and using this for the yoke
and as insertions through the skirt. Some
loveiy gowns have been made up where
1.-THE entire skirt was made Of such inser-
itions alternating with tucks three or
four inches wide.
The trimmings for the organizes en-
phaslze the color note Of the gowns.
Girdles of colored ribbons. or narrow vel
vet ribbons. used to finish the rufhes,
blend with he flowers in the mus.ins, and
the background of the muslin which, Of
course, is always either black or white. is
quite subordinated. though one can hard
ly say that all the musiins are black or
white. for a great many gowns have been
made up o. colored muslins which have
a small, white polka doe. Reversing the
color scheme, the trimmings for such
gowns are of white. generally Of footing,
row after row being used as insertion. I'm
der the gowns Of white net which are al
ways worn, a great many girls are using
slips of figured organdies, the most ef-
fectivs ones being those which have large,
and highly co.ored designs. It is an excel
lent fashion to finish the bottom of these
net gowns with a wide, white ribbon, for
this can easily be removed and cleaned,
and in this way one is often saved from
the necessity of sending the whole gown
to the cleaner.

About Summer Frocks

Some years ago It was not considered
quite good form for a young girl to wear
a decollete gown before she had been
formally introduced to society. but for the
last few years, girls of seventeen have
been wearing low evening gowns made,
however. on rather simpler lines than the
ball gowns. For summer a frock cut low
in the neck is so much cooler and more
comfortable that there is no reason why
young girl should not wear a decoIete
muslin for a few months before she is
really out.
Evening costumes should be kept simple
and girlish. Fine organdie and lawn and
dainty lowered muslins are most appro-
priate, and can be made up into charming
summer frocks. All lace and silk gowns
should be kept until the next year. Gowns
Of lowered net are extremely pretty but
these will be worn so much on older peo-
pie that perhaps 1t were better to keer
this material also until the following sea-
son.
White frocks are bound to turn out vel
and are also sure to be becoming. AL
light shades are being so much worn, how
ever this year that moussenne I'm 1t.
soft, delicate colors VIII be unusually pop
ular. White worn over a dainty pink oi
blue sip is also most effective and decid
edly popular this year. The slip can. o
course, be separate and the gown wori
at one time over a color and again KEEP
all white. In this way the appearance o
considerable variety in the wardrobe car
be given.
