NHhat--A pleasing variety Of silk gloves

and what marvellous Improvement has
been made. both In fit and style, many
OF the long ones being beautiful exam

such n delicate softncss to all the color
tones. In glove or elbow length, half
length and wrist length all tastes may
be suited and all styles Of grown sleeves
may be accommodate ted. The fancifu lace
weaving. when added. Is extremely dec
orative on hand and arm. Very much
may be said In praise Of the fine thread
gloves 50 popular for forenoon wear.
The truth is the cutting and fitting Of
all such gloves is quite on n par with
that OF the best kid ones.
That-Cablc cord finishes to silk pct
ticoats ruffles arc an immense help In
the way of holding out the bottom of
short skirts belonging TO walking cos
tunes, or, In horsey language, to trot-
ting costumes, as the French call them.
Ruchngs of silk as q trimming in dou-
bic and triple box plats, either with
pinlted or fringed edges. represent
nrescnt craze Of the most modish order,

ured. Pinked ;ruffles for trimming the
inside Of bodices are moro, and more
used as a successful means OF giving
a perfect line to the figure. They en-
circle the arm seams; they pad out the
back, and will give perfect fitting lines
to an entire decoletage, while In several
rows upon tho inside of bodice fronos
they improve slight figures to a charm.
AS bustlcs of an invisible kind nothing
can exceed three or four nine-inch
ruffles. one over the other. and a grada-
ton of lesser ones above. also In rows.

way OF design. While the st9nes
being usually sem-precious in character,
and of a very ordinary sort. are ac-
cepter for tho reason that there are
very few purchasers who know anything
at all about the enormous semi-preclous

they are apt to be to those whose, taste
has been educated up to fine things.
Some of the odd chains and dog colars
that are worn would in weight drop the
scales at pound or more. 1t Is time
to give over wearing barbara ornaments,
thinking them fashionable, which they
are not.
Of-thc making of collars, chemsctts and
cuffs, as well as undcrsleevcs. there Is,
indeed, no end. AS fact, those that
are made by hand, II by makers who
have skill, ARE the prettiest worn. Lin

well as to longer ones to bodices and
to summer frocks, for heir neck open

Bathing suits embrace all the usual va
riotics. The untrlmmed. the very ornate.
blouse. suits with color contrasts In re-
vers, collars, etc. Suits there are In
rcd, in dark blue In white and black
and white as we'll US all black. Woolens,
mohairs and silks are tho correct ma
terals to order from or to select as u
purchase. Various styles Of yard braid
trimmings in reds. blues, black and white,
or stitched on bands, afford a great va
riety Of effects In accordance with the
manner of making use of them. White
canvas. duck and drilling suits for small
childrcn's wear are popular among fami-
lies who prefer to have their suits made
to order. The ready-madc ones run In
dark blues, reds and white alpaca.
