Helpful Hints on What to Wear and
How to Wear Il.
- Everything must be sheer, you
say, as you look at the filmiest Of ba-
tistes and the finest of handkerchief
linens, and then you turn around and
are confronted with heavy linen
something (they call It lace) that
passes from lace into embroidery and
back and forth again.
= Use large buttons for shirt waist
suit, or, better still, cover wooded
button molds with the material of
which your suit is made. In shirt
waist suits materials, linen Is still first
favorite, but chambrays, ginghams,
lawns, all the old staple stuffs and
dozens and dozens of new things are
used.
The heavy, coarse laces, which
were used for trimming the lingerie
gowns last year. have been given up
for the finer laces, and this season the
principal trimmings are the very
sheer, embroidered swiss insertions and
the better valenciennes laces. In
choosing laces for these dresses you
will find 1t better to select the narrow
insertion and edging; II you wish a
wide effect join two widths with a
strip Of the swiss embroidery between
as an insertion.
A pretty new belt has made its ap-
pearance. It Is made of soft stuff
drawn up in the back, which crosses
and is finished with two rows Of butt
tons and rosettes. Unfortunately 1t Is
becoming only to slender figure.
Two-toned girdles take the predomi-
mating color Of a dress and relieve its
monotony with two shades-one light
er. the other darker than the color.
Or, a changeable silk and color that
only shows in certain lights, is match
ed in plain silk, put with a lighter
shade and worked into girdle. 1t
emphasizes the half-hidden shade ex-
quisitely.
- Embroidered linens and muslins
are fashionable for morning wear, and
some of the new embroidered main
socks and batistes are very attrac-
tive. Wheel patterns and eyelet pat
terms predominate and on the batiste
the all-over wheel or q scroll design
Is very attractive. An effective pink
linen just completed has a directoire
coat with sleeves puffiing at the elbow
with two long stitched straps Of the
material turning back from the wrist
over the cuff. The skirt is severely
plain and is trimmed with bands of
linen only. With this costume Is worn
blouse Of English embroidery.
"A negligee hat for summer frocks
that promises to be very smart Is a
large soft felt in pale gray or pale
copper color, it's crown slightly dented
its brim Is rolled up across the front
and fastened with a small wreath OF
roses in pastel shades, or In faded
colors, and about the crown there Is
only a silk cord. More chic than any
for tailored linens, or with white
serge yachting dress, is one Of these
large slouch felts in black, cooked up
in front with a gold buckle and twist
Of black velvet ribbons, and circled
about the crown with a large wreath
of small faded roses without leaves
or Of pale blue silk poppies. The idea
is that Of the eighteenth century felt
shepherdess hats that were worn by
the ladies Of Versailles"
In many of the full wash skirts
the regulation "tie-backs" are used;
these are fastened in at the side back
seams and hold the fullness OF these
unliped cotton skirts in place. Wash
skirts of the heavier cotton materials
are trimmed, in nine cases out OF ten
either with small vertical plaits
around the hips or with horizontal
plaits in clusters around the lower
edge of the skirt to the knee-line;
these plaits give a substance to the
skirt and sufficient weight where a
lining is not used. The "laid-on- nuns
plaits" are also used, and 1t Is often
pretty to edge these plaits with narrow
frills of plain batiste or valenciennes
lace, although this Is only for the
dressier gowns. A skirt Of the wash
variety should be we'll fitted at the
waist line, and the lower edge Of the
waist belt should fit up snugly around
the curve Of the waist line and not

better made of the regular betting rib
bon, and 1t should have two sets OF
hooks sewed upon It, two hooks for
the first fastening. and then-about
half an inch away-one more hook
Tucks are to be used profusely, but
combined with shirrings and lace soft
ened In every way. Skirts will be
fuller than ever about the feet-every
conceivable trick that will get few
more inches into the width will be
employed: but about the hips they
will fit smoothly.
- Perhaps more depends upon the
arrangement Of the hair than Is possible
to conceive Of. There are myriads OF
women who have seen on a friend a
certain style Of hairdressing which ap-
peals to them and have instantly imi-
tated 1t, utterly regardless Of the fact
that their own profile would be shown
to much better advantage by a totally
different arrangement. AS q rule,
those who are endowed with regular
and sharply defined features look best
with the hair placed in a loose coil
at the nape Of the neck, but this Is
not always the case, and each woman
should study her own patterns and de-
eide for herself which style or hair
dressing Is most becoming and then
stay by It, Knots of ribbon and bows
for hair-ornament have entirely gone
out. No ornament is permissible for
day wear and only wreaths or single
blossoms Of real or artificial flowers
are worn in the evening. Artificial flow
ers seem ever the prettiest of all or
naments for the hair and, indeed, they
are always in fashion, although stiff
aigrettes and spanglel wings may
seem the fad of the moment. While
