Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-05-28

by bias bands laid to form half the figure
eight just below the junction of arms eye
and sleeve, and full figure eight below
the middle point of the yoke. A crush belt
of golden brown silk, hat of brown straw,
trimmed with cream and brown ribbon and
brown quilts and a. parasol of golden brown
taffeta, finished with hemstitching, COM
plete an ideal summer silk costume.
The Linen Suits
Shirt waist suits of porcelain blue linen
trimmed with white are pretty for wear
at the shore. but the girl who can afford
only one linen suit will do better to Sc
lect pure white or natural tone linen and
vary her stocks. belts, etc. shirt waist
hat is inevitable with this costume, and
should be simple and tailored in its trim
minRs.
For the girl of slender purse dress
which will serve for both dressy afternoon
wear and the evening hop can be evolved
from the sheer. lowered dimities and or
candies which are offered In bewildering
designs. OF the two, dimity is perhaps
the more sensible, as 1t tubs and dry
cleans better than organdie, and requires
less expensive trimming and garniture

yoke, both of which are edged with ribbon
ruching to match that on the skirt with
soft crush belt of the silk, this is dainty
evening dress.
A Transformation.
But its owner has two lingerie sets. By
using either of which she transforms it
into fetching and correct afternoon toilet
One is a tucker of finely shirred batists
and lace insertion in pure white, with I'M
dersleeves to match The other is a deep
yoke and bertha combined In alternate
rows of tucked batiste and lace insertion
with deep founce of lace to match and half
sleeves of triple ruffies to tack In the elbow
sleeves.
A lace picture hat. trimmed with orchids
and ribbon to match. completes the cos
tune.
For dances there Is nothing safer or
prettier than white. and young girls are
wearing dancing frocks that escape the
ground
A dancing gown of dotted Swiss or spot
ted net over silk may be trimmed simply
with shirrfngs of the material or ribbon
and varied by sashes of various colors and
designs in the tying.
One young girl has had made a pure
white organdie with three deep fiounces on
the skirt, edged with fine lace, and round
necked blouse with sleeves to the elbow
and Observation-Disclosures founce below,
all edged with the lace.
For wear with this she has fichu. fig
ured delicately in green. of the popular
stamped chiffon, a clever imitation of hand
painted chiffon. 1t is caught around the
top of the round waist with knots of tiny
rosebuds and foliage, and pale green sash.
knotted at intervals with punches of rose
buds. makes the costume green and white.
Lace and Ribbons.
To vary this, she uses a deep bertha of
lierre lace, run with pale blue ribbon and
fastened to the round neck with forget-me-
nots evolved from satin ribbon. A blue
sash of narrow ribbon, fastened to crush
belt and tackled here and there with for
get-me-nots, makes up the pale blue set
Older girls wear dancing frocks of China
or taffeta silk, made long in the 1860 style
and trimmed with ruchings of the silk
dash of gold embroidery with the all-white
silk dancing frock is considered distinctly
smart, and such frock may be worn 10
dances in town next fall.
But 1t is In the little things. such as
parasols, shoes, gloves and hats, that the
vacation girl may indulge her longing to
be a real summer girl. If only for fort
night
She should have at least one pair of very
light tan shoes with hosiery to match,
simple parasol in a shade which will COM
bine most easily with two or more of her
gowns, and plenty of fresh chiffon veilings
for be 1t known that the summer girl OF
1904 will protect her complexion.
A picture or lingerie hat must be worn
with gauzy, summary dresses only, and the
same can be said of the chiffon-trimmed
parasol. If only one parasol is purchased
it should be a pongee. plain or embroid-
plain taffeta band for the finish This can
be used with good taste in town, while the
chiffon parasol is suited for out-of-towH
use only.
