Of lace. A soft lace drapery went round tho
shoulders and jail oted down the ironu,
and thsre were deep falls Of lace from ths
sleeves
Another coat exhibited at the same plan,
on the same evening was Of black chantilly
over rose color with wreaths Of tiny roses
and knots Of black velvet ribbon for trim
ming.
Genuine summer gowns hace not 1een
worn yet, though the silk mousselines,
chiions and sheer eilks will be as appro-
pirate for midsummer days as they are now,
and these stufis are worn for evening occ~-'
sion now as they have been worn a.! sum-
mer. An examination Of u Large number
OF shcer frocks ready for sending out from
one fashionable dr@xnaking establish
ment showed no decided novelty Of which
mention has not already been mado here.
Prinoesse lingerie gowns and frNocs with
silk coats and sheer skirts weue well repre-
sented. and ono OF the latter deserves
line Of description, not by virtue Of novelty
OF design, but because itH color scheme
was unusual.
The draped silk bodice with basque back
was Of striped silk, in q SOFT light silvery
Sray green and I. yellow too Light for
apricot. q soft faded yellow with dash OF
ripe apricot in it. The skirt was OF white
silk mounseline and lace, and heading the
flounces were garlands Of wee chiffon roses
we have already attempted up to pinkish
buh and down to brown with the same >
blush in il. The roses appeared too on the
front Of the bodice amid jAbots Of la1s and
headed the lace frills Of the elbow sleeves.
In these same fruity yelows shading
frDr ANN IN hrnx Gil ltpA'
frock Powered In large rose design on q
white ground and lace trimmed. A girdle
was in one OF the middle shades Of the
yellow.
The lavender, lilac and mauve tnts shad-
ing down to the puppies are retaining their
popularity. and there we're several frocks
In these tones among those referred to.
One Of delicate lilac silk mousseline was
as pretty as it was simple, and the sketch,
OF it shown here will give good idea OF It's
details.
In pinkish lilac, too, was frock of sheer
est chiffon taffeta. trimmed with fine plait-
ing frils of the silk and cream batiste
embroidery motifs showing lilac in tho
embroidery. The coat was one Of the,
delectable absurd little garments, loose
vague HI much like a shoulder cape as a
coat, and under it was to be worn blouse
of the open work batiste embroidery in lilac
and cream, with creamy valenciennes
trimming it at throat and wrists.
frock OF fine white lawn trimmed IN ,
bands of transverse tuoking and In lace
was one of the simpler models, and is re-
produced in one Of the small pictures.
A fine black and white striped yelling over
pink united fresh delicacy with servioeable-
ness and was one OF the snartest frooks
OF the group.
The new very sheer silks are a boon to
the woman who spends her summer or part
Of her summer at the seashore, for without
being warm or looking heavy they have
firmness Of texture enough to resist tho
dampness that leaves silk mousseline;
chiffon and fine lingerie stuffs limp after one
wearing. Silks OF the radium type are
being made up for seashore use, and tho
chiffon tafYetas, while not 80 exquisite and
cleaning for evening wear, are even more
durable and very modish.
The silk coat and sheer skirt costume,
too, is desirable one for seashore wear,
for skirt is much moro easily pressed and
freshened than a bodice.
