might be hidden In your hand, yet

old time surah, but with more body
to 1t, and richer.

nothing to be compared with 1t for
this purpose 1t may be bought at low

combined with the wee checks. Most
of these wee striped things are change
able, some with three or four colors
woven together so dexterously that
they are more suggestions than actual
colors Tiny checks and stripes-as old
fashioned as possible-are among the
best-liked of the new silks. Some OF
the stripes are not more than thread
- Surely there never was a time when
pongee was so popular! Shirt waists
and shirt waist suits. coat suits
(they're the prettiest thing out, too)
and long outer coats, dresses Of every
sort-everything Is made of 1t. The
five most popular shades OF pongee
are: First Of all, the natural color;
Alice blue. sage green (there are two
shades Of 1t equally popular), and oys-
ter white, while navy blue Is wonder
fully popular.
- Silk petticoats once upon a time
were looked upon as one Of the great
est extravagances Of dress, but that
day has gone by, as provident and
thoughtful women have discovered
that they can make one skirt answer
as the foundation for many dresses
not only thick ones, but thin ones
There are also petticoats that to all in
tents and purposes are made Of silk
which in reality have the upper part
made Of some stouter material, and
silk fiounces are applied from the knee
down. These petticoats can be SIM
pie or elaborate, as the wearer may
dictate.
There Is an unmistakable blue tinge

powder blue, pale blue, lavender blue
every shade of blue Is very much In
evidence. And green-there's the love-
liest shade Of hunting green repre-
sented in ooze leather pumps, with So
Der green stockings to go with them

with all the dash and dare imagina-
BILE in the shade, which exactly tones
In with the duller shade Of the shoes
A new color-peacock GREEN'S fast
superseding the extraordinary reds and
curious mustard yellows that were SO
popular a few weeks ago.
A novelty silk, which would be
more stunning for fancy-work use
has wreaths Of flowers heavily emboss-
ed. Another is triumph Of the silk
weaver's art-prim little rosebuds laid
on a background Of white striped, can
dy-fashion, with pink. The flowers
look as If they were embroidered
Serge messaline-a new silk-has a
weave that is really like serge, with
all the sheen and softness of silk. Old
fashioned faille silk Is transformed by
this chiffon touch into a new thing

stunning. New swisses are embroid-
cred and printed in all sorts Of designs
the flower idea being perhaps prettiest
Of ALL
Linen hats are exquisite, with every
day a new way Of trimming or OF
making, them springing up. A white
chip hat, edged with a row Of light blue
braid and trimmed with blue velvet
ribbon, Is one of the simplest, prettiest
things imaginable. Leghorn hats are
enjoying great favor at this moment
and some models are exquisitely trim
med with pink roses. A great many
white embroidered hats, embroidered
tulles and broderie Anglaise are worn
usually made over pale color. White
felt hats, dented in oddly, like rough
and-ready walking hat, are made

knots Of colored straw upon the crown;
in fact, these knots are developing al
ready into large butterfly bows.

considers the expense Of laundering

get the sweetest batistes. mulls and
swisses for mere songs, and the manu-
facturers are now putting out laces
that cost mighty little and which are
most effective. A white gown Is good
for any occasion. 1t can be made very
plain and simple for morning wear, 1t
can be fiuffier and dressier for after
noon, and still dressier for evening. A
pretty white dress will take the place
of half a dozen dresses. You can
wear 1t with every kind of a hat, dark
or light, and black hat with white
gown Is particularly striking and In
excellent taste. White shoes are, OF
course, a rather necessary accessory
to the white dress, although patent
feathers can be worn.

may be had in cotton eolienne, a new
and inexpensive fabric which comes In
variety of colors. Fine ribbed pique

summer gowns: the new mulls with
