lower part is defined with long, tapering

For the Summer Bed Room.

Most bedspreadS are made with valance,
although some persons prefer them plain.
They are made large enough to be drawn
over the pillows If desired, although this is
rather ungraceful. Almost all qualities
come from special covers or cases for rolls
or pillows to match the spread. The pillow
sham" persists, although most persons
prefer pillows or roll which can be COW
cred with the lace or embroidered linen
and give place at night to another set of
pillows.
OF the simpler sort of bedspread. the
kind of thing the woman of modest means
is thinking about nowadays when she makes
up the list of furnishings required for her
summer house, there are dainty Swiss ana
other thin cotton fabrics in white, with just
a touch of lace or embroidery to give them
delicacy, and even more practical hoWered
dmities in colors, finished with knotted
fringe. Such bedspreads may be purchased
for IS to SIS and durable and dainty.
Unless one has color scheme for the bed
room and wishes to emphasize it by using
colored Innings for the lace fittings it is BET
ter to stick to white, or to cream IL the
lace is of that tone OF course, there has
to be a cover the size of the lace spread for
the bed to go under it. 1t should be Sheer

color In braid or bias bands or with white
facings. Both dark and light blue are smart
in effect and becoming, and there are many
different patterns in braid of the same
shade that look well.
Red is almost without exception a becom-
ing color, especially when relieved by white
facings; but in choosing becoming shade
1t is well to be sure that the color will not
fade nor run when wet as nothing is
more eXasperatfng than to have smart
and misunderstanding costume absolutely
spoiled by one dip in the breakers, and,
after all is said and done. 1t Is now fash
ionable to really go into the sea and not to
stay on the sands at the bathing hour, and
it is imperative that the costume look smart
after it has been thoroughly wet. There
are so many different qualities of mohafr
and such a wide range of price that 1t Is
we'll to take sufficient time to choose care
fully, and also it is well to be prepared to
pay a good price for a good quality. The
cheaper grades of mohair are certainly re-
markabie for the price asked, but there is
the danger of fading and injury by water.
It is a comparatively recent fashion, silk
in bathing costumes, but it is a fashion that
has grown steadily in favor and has much
to recommend it. Black taffeta is an ideal
material for the purpose, and there are
other silks that are also most satisfactory,
while some materials not entirely of silk,
but with silk finish, are great favorites.
All black is thought very smart, but often
the facings of red, blue or white are more
becoming and more effective. so that after
all the question of individual taste enters
largely into the decision. All light colors,
and bright ones as we'll are considered
fashionable but the great trouble is that
they are too conspicuous, rule, to war
rant being called smart. Red in the dark
shades is extremely effective. Certain blues
are charming, trimmed either with braid or
with facings of white.
While as rule, simple lines and rather
severe effects are fashionable, occasionally
is to be seen some costume that is on rather
a picturesque overelabora order. black
dark blue, with cut neck design In white
cloth or heavy silk, must be acknowledged
effective and becoming, but the style cannot
be rashly INDUCED in by the great majority,
for only on TALL slender figure would 1t be
anything but grotesque.
There is no startling change from the
fashions of last year The length of the
skirt just below the knees, is the same, the

come below the knee and displays the full
knickerboclzers finished with a band and
ruff1e. The shirt sleeve consisting merely of
a puff is not always becoming, but it is next
TO impossible to swim with long sleeves to
bathing costume. and SO long gloves, silk
or kid, are worn by those women who do
not go in for swimming, and yet wish to be
dressed according to the latest edict Of
fashion and incidentally to prevent their
arms from being sunburned.
1t Is the fashion to have the neck of the
bathing dress cut low in front. but again
the question of sunburn comes into notice
and the chemisette of white serge, pique or
silk which is so becoming IS worn, proving
that, after all, common sense is generally
allowed to play some part in the makeup
of gown
A becoming skirt is one of the hard things
to pick-one that will hang we'll have
enough, and not too much, fullness, and
that while indicating any good lines, can be
SO put together as to conceal any defects.
The pieated skirt is a popular and general
ly becoming style, but the pleats should be
caught down for short distance below the
waist line, and then IL there is too much
fullness it must be cut away. Side pleats
are better than box pleats. and there are
few accordion-plaited models that for a
time at least look most charmingly attrac-

The kid was in three strips in front and

spaces the white satin was stretched. At

fan of the day could be made by decorating
a white paper fan with the national colors,
having red and white stripes for the lower
half and a design of blue stars on white
ground as a border. This decoration may
be painted on the fan If one is sufficiently
skilled to do this. or stars and stripes may
be cut from colored paper and pasted on.

black braiding, in which case the black hose
is effective. With a black costume the

for while will be quite forgotten. This
year at least one pair has already been proc

looks very much as though this were a sane

look much like heelless pumps, with little

retain their beauty. A popular model is a
skirt with wide double box plaits, trimmed
with lines of fancy braid. The waist is also
in the wide double box plaits, with the lines
of braid while a narrow front of white
pique, with fancy buttons and white turned
over cuffs on the puffed sleeves, gives dis
tinctive touch that is most attractive.
Should corsets be worn with bathing Co.'S
TUNES? Should waists be lined? are two
much-discussed questions. To the first the
answer Is always in the affirmative, unless
in the case of some unusually slight and UNI
developed figure. Bathing corsets simply
give support without COMPRISING the fig
ure and should not in any way interfere
with swimming easily and comfortably.
Waists, as rule, are not lined; but If a
woman is at all inclined to be stout she will
look infinitely better in waist made with
lining thin piece of flannel or albatross
cloth as lining to a silk or mohair waist is
excellent idea, as the flannel against the
skin is far more comfortable, especially
after the first dip into the water Skirts
are not lined. nor are sleeves; but lawn

prove the appearance.
