six pairs of pyramid bays each thirty

The New York girl may omit the rose
footstool. but she is very audacious in
taking her fad in other directions.
For instance. it Is her esthetic within
to have Pompadour lingerie. and surely
this would have been a novel thought
even to the spoiled French beauty But
Pompadour petticoats there are. and
corset covers. and Pompadour wash rib
simpler folks.
Pretty Pompadour Petticoats.
The petticoats are usually in plain
color. pale rose or blue. and the flowers
arc OF liberty ribbon. covered with roses
IN red or pink The corset cover is
white. with a small rose design. and en-
compassed round about with the sweet
observance of Pompadour sash tied
over the bust in a wide bow that Is at
once a sachet and the understudy for a
pad.
And all sorts OF Powered muslin viii
be made up into nightgowns and paja-
mas, suits. and empire chemiSes.
Also the sun is kept from the rose
skin and blue eyes of the Pempadour
girl by a Pompadour pa-asol, Of cream
satin or chiffon, covered with great
spiashes of roses and edged with deep
frill of rose point lace.
And although the Pompadour costume
may involve a check for several hun
dreds, with its hand-painted silk illu-
sions, its hand embroidered Persian
trimmings. it's chiffon lining and real
rose point lace. it can be accomplished
for just a few dollars in most genuinely
artistic effects. A rose lawn for Is cents

vi simple. old-fashioned style with

summer wind from rose garden had
reached them.
Some lovely Pompadour lawn frocks
are made with overskirts. the first IN
many years. Short at the sides. point

Return of the Overskirt.
With these overskirt dresses all the
decoration is in the floral design of the
material; the two skirts are plain, ex-
cept for plaitings or the same goods A
kerchief and elbow sleeves are often
worn with the Pompadour overskirt
oress, and either Pompadour hat or a
''Inilkmaid bonnet"
The former Is novel and very becom-
ing TO nearly all women. 1t has a wide

custom in the days OF Nine Pompadour.

Summer Girl Will Be Rose-Adorned.
Though every sort of rose is seen,
from the great red cabbage flower down
to pale yellow Scotch blossoms and deli
cate single eglantine. it is the Pompa-
dour rose that leads the craze-the
large, full-petaled, wide-open, deep red
rose-vividly sumptuous and decorative
to a degree.
And. too the old French tapestry and
brocade designs are most in evidence.
So the summer girl will walk abroad in
gowns adorned with large. stifr punches
of roses. or with vases OF the flowers,
or v-''h a garden trellis floating about
her.
And besides dress goods Of all sorts
in rose designs. there are Pompadour
hats and parasols, and slippers and
lace. and gauzy dancing scarfs, and
even foolish little Pompadour handker-
chiefs. one or two blossoms covering
the whole space.
Exquisite Designs of Gauzy Fabrics.
The thin summer dress goods with
rose decorations are the loveliest of all.
The most beautiful designs on the rich
est gauzy SUITS all have the effect Of
being painted, and are often made 20
stand out from the fabric I'm fine relief

prove to be loops upon loops of gray
ribbon, which whirl out into bow knots

Fine silk Illusion. fine moline. chiffon
gauze. liberty gauze. silk muslin. silk
null and silk point d'esprit are the ma
terials most used as a foundation for
the beautiful Pompadour rose designs.
Usually the background is white, the
roses IN natural hue. most often red,
though now and again pink or yellow;
and blue and green roses in startling
designs are not unknown.
Delicate Watercolor Effects.
A tinted background, with roses of the
same hue but deeper tone, is very beau
tiful, especially II the flowers are shown
with shadOwy water color outline and

the whole fabric a changing mass of
color. with now and again 4 huge rose

Revival of the Original Craze.
The painted pOmpadour rose hung IN
