Kitty is a motheriess girl and al
though she has the most fond and de-
voted father in the world her old
maid aunt believes that she has been
left to herself and her own will rather
too much for her own good. Kitty,
however, has a way with her which
makes unsolicited advice rather diff
cult and it was with a good deal of
| trepidation and after considerable pre-
liminary skirnishing that her aunt the
other day got around to the subject as
adroitly as she could and gave her
| niece some well-meant and, as she had
lately suspected, somewhat needed adj
vice on her behaviour with her numer-
Gus suitors. Kitty listened at first

driving at. with unconcealed amuse-
ment.

finally interrupted the homily, Don't

! A Topeka modiste who has been
holding her midsummer showing has
exhibited number of unusually pretty
| models this week, prominent among
| them being the attractive and service
able two and three piece suits of linen
without which. this season, no summer
girl feels her wardrobe to be complete.
One of the most admired of these is of
a pale blue linen combined in an oddly
effective way with scaIloped inserts of
| white dotted muslin. This is a three
piece suit with a circular skirt having
two insertions of the muslin, one near
the hem and one at knee depth, a
blouse similarly trimmed and one of
the dinky little jackets which are so
| much worn this summer.
Another blue linen in darker shade
is trimmed with insets of blue and
white striped madras. The skirt is
circular, the fullness at the top laid in
small tucks and around the bottom is
an applied design of the madras in
alternating short horizontal and longer
perpendicular straps, perhaps two
inches wide. The Jacket has a medium
width, rolling sailor collar, very short
pun sleeves and blouses Slightly into a
wide girdle. Tabs and straps of the
striped madras and small white pearl
buttons are used to tri init.
A three piece suit in dark blue linen
| h o-cfv1 ,.
sleeve caps, to be worn over a thin
| white blouse. Flat white pearl buttons
; trim the little jacket which is finish ed
in points, both as to the jacket body
: and the short flowing sleeves.
A fourth jacket suit is of blue and
| white checked cotton wolfe with a
] polka dot in darker blue The skirt
and jacket are both laid in plaits and
the former has a circular founce put
| on with a wide puff.
OF the dressier models lovely thing
| is of cream colored wash blonde en-
bellished with cream cluny lace inser-
ton. The circular skirt has a narrow
front panel bordered with lace. The
circular top is finished with six inch
tucks and trimmed with perpendicular
rows of the lace at regular intervals
ending at the beginning of the wide
circular dounce which finishes the
bottom of the skirt. This has a group
of seven graduated tucks and a narrow
ruff1e at the bottom. The bodice has
l
back, outlined with the lace. The full
ness below is supplied by narrow
tucks and the waist blouses over a
folded girdle of turquoise blue silk
finished with two smart bows in front
The stock is also of the turquoise silk
The sleeves are short, medium puffs,
tucked at the top and finished at the
elbow with bands of the cluny. The
piece de resistance of this toilet. how
ever, is the little good-for-nothing'
cape which accompanies it. It is just a
shoulder cape, an arrangement OF
tucks and ruff1es and bands of the lace
with turquoise blue ribbon ties.
A pink and white rose organdie has
three deep ruff1es, finished with q
group of pin tucks. trimming the
points and each ruffie falls little over
the top of the next. The bodice has
trimmings of white val and swiss en-
broidery forming yoke and under
sleeves. The top part of the sleeves
are formed of tucked ruff1es.
An excellent model especially plan
ned for a woman of full figure is OF
black and white embroidered muslin
The skirt is trimmed with narrow
corded puffs outlined with narrow
J ruff1es applied somewhat in tunic de-
sign, back and front in lines well
adapted for stout figure. The bodice
. has a deep V-shaped front and back OF
swiss embroidery and val lace inser-
ton, outlined with the puff and ruff1e
! trimming to match the skirt.
