How to Wear II.
THAT massing of flowers directly at
the back. or on the left side Of the
hat, Is becoming to almost every wo-
man.
Blouse slips. made Of lawn, will be
worn all summer by the women, who
like some sort of lining in everything.
They are made plain, little full, and
button down the back with lace bat
tons.
Shirt waists will be worn all spring
and summer, and are being made up In
silk, mohair, voile, linen and dimity.
They are cool and comfortable. and
when properly made possess as much
style value as more elaborate gowns.
There Is disposition toward MAX
ing full dress gowns excessively am
pie and elaborately trimmed around
the skirt at the feet. BY way or con-
trast the upper portion of the dress Is
kept as simple and tight-ftting as
possible.
The favorite style Of bodice Tor
evening receutions is short In the
waist at the back and sharply pointed
| IN front. The same effect may be
achieved by draped waistband.
Sleeves for such gowns are merely
small puffs, with tight armband OF
embroidery, ribbon or lace just above
the elbow.
In order to obtain harmonious re-
Esults AL girdles or belts should be OF
exactly or nearly of the shade OF the
gown. Nothing is so lacking in dis
Itinction or so unbecoming to the figure
as a contrasting line Of color at the
waist, and the leading creators OF
smart gowns look with increasing dis
favor upon this inartistic color line.
Lots of colors are to be seen-not
the soft shades that timidly herald-si
their approach, but strong, definite
shades that take a little while to be-
come accustomed to. There is stunning
new shade of blue in pongee-dark
and rich, yet with a life In 1t that
blue pongee used to lack. and shade
that keeps its color at night Instead OF
blotting out to black.
- The art Of applying ruchipgs Is one
worth while studying. Some Of them
are put on in quantity stiff effects.
while others have satin put on In a
loosely crushed style that has the ff-
feet of a chain of rose petals carelessly
thrown together. Clusters of satin
flowers are often effectively combined
with satin ruchings upon a gown, and
both can be easily made by any wo-
man who has time, a little skill ana
some sense Of the artistic.
The full redingotes, belted or shir-
red at the waist and falling In ample
folds almost to the bottom OF the
skirt, are gaining considerable favor
as driving or travelling coats for the
spring and summer season, and when
well made in silk of good quality are
attractive, though not becoming to all
figures. Shot silks in the soft old time
color combinations are especially liked
for these coats but they are made,
too, in the plain taffetas. surahs and
pongees.
Three fiounce skirts have swept
back into form-the kind where the
three fiounces make-7f6 the whole
skirt The top founce is tucked to fit
closely q, cr the hips. and the other
twgl tiounces fulled on. Those circular
4 ruffies make attractive three-founce
suits-almost prettier than the full
flounces and more becoming to a
stouter figure. Shaped circular fioun-
ces-separate 1ounces-come for set
ting on petticoat foundations OF SOFT
white stuff or of silk. The fiounces are
made of sheer lawns and linens, en-
broidered elaborately or simply, ac-
cording to purse and taste.
With silk shirt waist suits, trim
ming, stock and girdle are Of the SILK
(except where q chemisette style Is
chosen), and even buttons are covered
with 1t. This "self trimming" empha-
sizes the shirt waist style. French
collars-stiff ones. but made thorough
ly feminine and graceful by being en-
broidered-are seen upon the most
stunning of the wash shirt waist suits.
Embroidered null collar and cuffs sets
have added a new touch Of beauty In
the embroidering of the dots with
wash cotton or silk. The embroidery
Is usually done in white, although II
Is very pretty done in delicate shade
Of the color it is to be worn with.
- The correct length for all skirts to
be worn on the street, Is the round
length. For reception and visiting
gowns, the skirts are slightly longer
than those to be worn on the street,
and are almost invariably made OF the
same material as the waist. The ia
vored fabrics are eoliennes In various
shades of gray, tan. blue, green and
violet, crepe de Chine, marquisette,
poplinette, yelling, and taffetas-the
latter In chameleon or shot effects,
warp print, checked, striped and Pom
Ipadour. Sometimes with a Louis XIV,
lLouis XVI, or Directoire coat Of bro
cade or Pompadour silk. net or lace
skirt Is worn, with decidedly good re-
suits.
The combination Of many faded
tints in flowers, ribbons, ETC., Is per-
haps the feature of the new millinery

land though mistakes are often made IN
these colorings, the idea well handled
gives charming effects. Roses OF all
the smaller sizes in faded blue, rose,
green, lavender and gold are In high
favor and the makers Of artificial fioW-
ers have catered to this color scheme
in many ways. Wheat heads in all
the faded colorings are obtainable ana
make an uncommonly smart trimming
for a somewhat severe walking nat,
Heather. too, Is made in all these sort
dull tones Little flowers resembling
English daisies, wlstaria, stocks,
sweet williams, hydrangeas, SWEEP
peas and many other flowers come IN
the same faded colorings, as well as In
natural hues.
- Trimming running in vertical lines
Is liked for wash frocks as well as for
others, and the line of trimming down
the middle front or on each side or a
narrow, plain front is very much In
evidence. These lines Of trimming may
run straight to the bottom and end
there or may turn some distance from
the bottom and continue horizontally
around the skirt, as heading to a
f1ounce or be merely inset In a plain,
full skirt Lines of trimming run
along all the vertical snams OF some
