~uE tllsM1 frocks OF the midSum-
mer fashions display some styles
IL that are peculiarly their own, and
fetching, indeed, are the displays
that are made upon summer piazzas by
seashore and mountsin-side.
The appearance as well as the reality
Of GOODNESS, Is well studied out Ia these:
and all or the favored materials are sheer
and dlmy TO transparency. And. Incl.
dentally, one Of the prettiest fashions
that have appeared in many moons Is the
use OF tinted slips or foundation worn
beneath those same transparent and
Bimy frocks, just n glimmerIng. a vague
binting OF color being what is desired,
and the outer material must be cleverly
handled so that this desirable effect Is
the one attained.
Lace Is used almost By the mile 10
these froeks, aud IL IL whipped on ny
hand or applied by machine, according 10
the character OF the gown aud the class
OF work with which Il Is trimmed.
Some exquisite examples OF the lingerie
mode there are that are all, every stitch
OF them. mHde by hand; and Ia these the
lace is quite as often as not OF the real
web, the ValeRclennes weave being espe-
cially favored for this use. There is
quite a fad for the mingling of several
laces on the one gown. The Valenciennes
and kindred weaves are used for the
ANAL parts OF the design; and Irish
frochet IS nightly In favor for broad
and conspicuous touches. Maltese lace,
too, shares IN the fad for real laces; but
on this side OF the water It Is seldom
seen In any but imported gowns, for the
supply Is so small that even q modest
demand Tor Il exhausts the stock very
Soon. The native workers OF Malta make
the best examples, and although the
Sicillan peasants put forth many yards
annually Il cannot begin TO compare with
the native Maltese designs.
The nets, both plain and printed. or
the cotton tulles. as they are often re
fprred 60, tnd enthusiastic acceptance IN
this late summer mode. They show up
10 excellent advantage every single stitch
OF elaboration that may be spent upon
them. Here the Imitation rather than
the real lnces rule, 50 that one may get
Nd a very attractive design, Indeed, Tor
a gratifyingiy small sum, comparatively
spea king.
Ribbons reign supreme upon all OF the
summer gowns. They appear In bows
that descend ike a nock OF butterflies all
over the design. Big bows and little
bows; bows with futteriRg ends and
bows that are finished stif and square.
Bows for the couture, for the corsage,
sets OF bows for shoulder and sleeve
knots: little ladders OF bows that wend
their way up the side OF the skirt; bows
that seem 70 tie the skirt panels together
over a pleated or a ruftled or shIrred inset.
In fact, there Is simply no end or limit
20 the bows that are upon the favored
frocks OF the summer time. and one
msrvels az the Ingenuity Of the de-
slgners who Invent new bows and new
places for posing them with almost every
new model gown that Is produced.
Upon the gowns OF lowered organdle
and null they are especially pretty. With
the return OF 50 many old-t,me fashions
the old-tifae designs appear in these flmy
textiles Long sprays OF roses IN all OF
the natural tipts Of blossom and foliage
are strewn at uRdom over the surface.
Bunches OF nly-of-the-valley, modest
hooking little violets, dainty daisies and
stately booking Iris are some OF the de-
SIgns that are made up IN friIiy fashion.
With much lace and many lace edged
frills and rufaes.
The vogue Of linen so far from deerpas-
Jng seems 60 gain new ME and new force
with almost every day that goes BY. The
white linens are still in the very front
rank Of fashion. but the delicate coiofines
that are an expression OF the later mode
press them very close. Indeed, for hrst
favor. While white IL said 70 be ual.
versally becoming, many there be TO
whom c0lOrs are far more iattering. The
delicate tones OF rose pink, a pale water
green, as u Is known; the lighter tsnts In
lavender, nauSe and a blush violet. as
vel as the entire gamut OF light blues
some dozen and a half OF these-dlsplay
some OF the daintiest designs, both the
tailored and the Huffer styles each having
their ardent adberents.
Those loose little bOiera coats are
