The round transparent yoke, the
bertha, the tucker the Dutch neck, the
surplice front with its v opening filled
in or not as the wearer pleases-all
these were last summers modes and
will still be In favor when next sum-
mer comes, but the blouse must not
pouch much and the waist line must
not dip in exaggerated fashion, al
though sharp pointed girdles are to be
worn as well as the less extreme round
girdles with very slight downward
dip in front. These girdles should be
made Of folded silk or ribbon and care
fully fitted and boned, or made up over
one of the ready made foundations sold
In the shops; for upon their trimness
and shapeliness the graceful line of
the loose frock often depends.
1t is said that the mannish waist
coat of white pique, white duck and
other washable vesting materials will
be popular with the close fitting tall
or costume in the coming summer, and
there's no denying that such effects
have a trim and delectable appearance
when worn by the right girl and asso-
ciated with a linen collar and narrow
tie; but the mannish role does not suit
every woman, and the sheer French
lingerie blouse or the soft shirt waist
or blouse with fancy stock will doubt
less be the general wear with the sum-
mcr's coat and skirt.
Apricot, tea rose, tangerine, all the
luscious pinkish yellow. shades are
more prominent among the summer
stuffs than ever before within memory,
and in union with white are delight
fully soft and cool. A genuine colonial
buff, too, appears frequently among
the cottons, linens and mercerized cot
tons, and 1t seems safe to assume that
yellow, particularly in the shades just
mentioned, will be well to the fore
among the summer colorings. All the
string color and natural pongee and
linen shades are popular, too, and some
charming mercerized materials in
these colorings have dots, cubes or
other small figures Of a soft or drawn
work weave. figures and ground work
being all in one tone.
- Once upon time, and very good
time it was Gas the fairy stories run),
| the washable waist was as plain as
plain could be. 1t fitted well enough
into the fashions Of those days, and
we accepted 1t as such. Now, however,
the very latest fads and fashions and
whims of the mode are incorporated
in the lingerie blouse, and the date OF
its making is just as plainly stamped
upon It by Its style as though 1t were
really and truly marked with the date
of manufacture, somewhere on the In
side. One remembers vaguely the gar
ment that was intended to be faith
ful COPY of a mans shirt, adjustable
collars, stiff bosom and broadlike cuffs
and all.
Quite in keeping with the fad for
sheer materials, the net top laces are
much used for trimming effects. The
slender girl still favors the bertha,
with its becoming and broadening ef-
feet. and when the bertha Of this char
acter is Of lace, then the sleeves are
very often Just a succession of~ruf-
fies of the same. The finest net lace
appliaues, too, share in this favor, and
the valenciennes laces are, II anything,
more used than ever before. In con-

Broderie anglaise, or the eyelet work

affording a variant that Is very well

| Last year, when laces boldly came
out and masqueraded as embroideries,
and embroideries as laces, 1t seemed to
casual observer that about the last
innovation that could be made had
been. That casual observer has cause
| to change her mind, for wonderful
things have been done this year In
both laces and embroideries. Genius
did a daring thing-mixed up English
eyelet work and Japanese embroidery,
and instead Of producing something in
congruous evolved a beautiful some
thing in which each kind Of embroidery
set off the other. Narrow batiste IN
sertion embroidered in spinning wheel
designs is one Of the newest things.
Some Of the batiste embroideries have
little inserts that look like lace. They
are, too. for they're made on lace
wheel. Even Japanese drawnwork has
been called into play. and inserted
Just a touch Of it-among the heavier

The craze for all Of the purple
shades continues, from the palest or
child mauve and orchid tones to the
richest, deepest royal purple. This Is
trying to most compilations. In fact'
all of the purple shades should be
worn only by women who have color.

- Close, closer and closest seems to
have been the motto Of the designer
when planning the tailor-made hats
for this spring. Those smart little
shapes that are neither toque nor tur-
ban follow these same lines, and the
trimming, while conspicuous enough
in itself. is quite in keeping with the
closeness Of the style. The turban
shapes lead all the rest in the tailor
made styles, and especially In what
have come to be known as the ready

monotony in the new turbans. for they
