SUMMER RESORT WEAR.

ton on, are dainty feature of the present
styles a number of sets include match
inG chemisette. and when the set is In the
choicest textures it seems a possession to
be desired Embroidered batiste in pure
white with Valenciennes lace edgings are
materials most used, and a choice set costs
anywhere from s. to $40 But it Is very
easy for good sewer to fashion these pref
ty accessories at home, with the aid of Hat
patterns and the short lengths of worked
linen and batiste, which may be
bought cheaply.
To appear graceful in the loungng poses
Indigenous to piazza life skirts need to be
frilled or founced or gathered very full. A
plain skimp skirt, and common-sense access
series. haven't a ghost of chance In a
hammock or rustic chair These aids to
idle hours encourage only billowy widths,
glimpses of dainty lingerie and the most
faultess foot coverings. AS to shoes. scar
let kid ties or slippers are much worn this
summer out of town, and with matching
stockings they are very effective for piazza
use.
The stockings themselves are appallinyly
fxy, openwork and embroidered designs Of
all sorts covering every instep. COlors are
brilliant-though stockings and Shoes
the trimmings of shoes generally match.
Soft Wool Fabrics
In mountainous or seaside regions, where
the mornings and evenings are cold and the
atmosphere injurious TO crisp textures, soft
wool materials are most desirable. Light
colCred chaIlies and French f1annels may be
made up in much the same way as frazier
materials except as to founcing. Skirts in
these materials are more effective when
fatty treated, pleated at the top and tucked
al the bottom, with the new umbrella
gCring, which gives enormous width. The
most becoming bodices avoid all stiff shirt
waist lines And, indeed except to go with
a suspender skirt of some pretty description
with a dress the odd shirt waist is
little this summer. The dress all in
one is far more prevailing. and this style
gives rise sometimes to very pretty robe
effects at the front OF some of the house
gowns this treatment going sometimes with
flowing sleeve flounces and peignoir belt
ing of the waist.
Lounging Gowns.

wash trimmings are the rage this summer,

etc.
But apropos of tea Jackets in general.
such garments provide effective wraps for
thin gowns at the places where wraps are
necessary. The brilliantly colored pongees
which are now selling for a song-the
season being late-are all useful for them.
and a touch of contrasting embroidery on
these will provide a rich effect For IN
stance a pattern of black and white apple
blossoms is superb and eminently Japanese
upon such colors as Chinese red, jade green
and peacock blue. The plain kimono band
usually employed upon the ready made
Jacket may also be elegantly replaced by a
fancy neck application of some sort in
black and white.
Dancing Dresses.
The little dance frock for the piazza
should be above all things picturesque.
Quantity patterned summer silks. silks
which show the fair stripes. lozenges and
little checks of the long ago, are pretty
textures which will hold their own with the
night air a charming oId-fashioned little
frock which would seem as dainty ten
years hence. Is of watermelon pink and
white striped silk The full skirt is trim
med with eight rows of white ribbon a
quarter of an inch wide. Upon the bodice
this ribbon and narrow French lace form
sash of the gown texture, with end trim
mings of the lace and ribbon, is a girlish
detail
The second dance frock is more modern
in essence, though none the less pictur-

an embroidered skirt founce of the same

broidered roses in pale pink. This floral
band likewise appears at the back and
front of the little bodice, which is held
