they send just a length Of some fascinating

women who have but limited allow
ances to spend. on their clothes would do
we'll to go In for speciality. 1t covers q
multitude Of deficiencies of wardrobe. A
girl know who has gone in pesistently
for perfection in shoes and stockings has
in a year won for herself reputation for
charming wardrobe that makes her the
envy Of many Of her friends who have far
tiner general wardrobes than she.
Another girl know has made speciality
Of scarfs and shawls. She no sooner began
to be noticeably Interested In them than
presents OF exquisite varieties Of them
poured in at Christmas or birthday time.
Her collection includes scarfs and shawls
from all over the world.
@Her present delight Is long black scarf
from Egypt. It glistens solidly to the very
edge with embroidery In tiny silver bands
woven In and out Of the heavy black yelling.
She is tall and dark, and the effect Of this
scarf worn with q black evening gown
has made her the sensation Of more than
one occasion.
Whereas other women care but little
about their scarfs and shawls. wadding them
up into Jumps in their chairs when they
are not in use, this girl has festooned over
two chairbacks, or lying in artful care
lessness over her lap, a scarf or a shawl
that draws people about her to examine
its loneliness. In their enthusiasm they
forget that they have seen the black eve
ming gown a good many times before.
Lace, old jewelry, handkerchiefs, pretty
travelling conveniences are some OF the
specialies Of other women that know
who have taken up my idea but would not
presume to take up my specially.
"One girl, following Ethel Barrymore's
example, has made Dutch necks her spe-
cialty. All her gowns that arc not low
cut arc cut with the Dutch neck. Perhaps
it would be nearer the truth to say that
she has made a speciality Of her neck,
which is so adapted to that style Of dress
that eyen Deople who ara not crazy over
Dutch necks approve Of her taste.
ITO say that one woman know makes

These hooded capes and wrappers ar
through drafty halls.
More delicate sacks of finest lawn O
even Of white silk mousseline made VI
over pink or blue, inset with valencienne
and trimmed with valenciennes edging ar,
among the baby l,xrries, and the charm
OF the long baby coats displayed in the ex
elusive shops oeggars description.
They are made Of various kinds OF silk
with or without warm lining of cashmere
Of cloth, and, most delightful Of all {ol
the summer days, OF sheerest muslin ovel
silk. Deep collars Of the muslin delicately
hand embroidered and lace edged, or inset
with lace and ornamented with infinitesime
hand tucks, are on most Of these coats.
Some are embroidered down the fronts
Others are plain save for the exquisite collar
the lace at the wrists, and the lace trimmed
frills on the coat bottom. A deep hem
stitched or featherstitched hem is often
preferred to the bottom ruffle. The soft
China silk lining may be attached to the
outside all around, but is more often fast
ened in only at the shoulders and neck
and falls loose below.
As soon as baby gets into short dresses
the fine embroideries enter into coat and
dress calculations, but for the wee baby
good valenciennes is the thing, and when
the real valenciennes can be used 1t Ia I'M
hesitatingly chosen.
Baby shoes grow daintier and prettier
each year, but it seems as though the limit
must have been reached this season. Low
or high strap shoes are made Of corded
dix with bordering frills Of the narrowest
valenciennes lace, and on each toe diminu-
tive bow OF the lace with tiny pearl button
in its center.
Embroidered shoes Of silk, pique or even
OF lawn are shown and high shoes Of corded
silk In pink, blue or white have embroidered
toes and are laced up the sides with silk
cords matching the silk and tied in tas-
seled bows at the top. hid shoes and booties
Of every description are on the list, but
the silk or lingerie shoes are smarter.
In bibs the fine lawn, hand embroidered,
bordered by lace frills and padded for
protection's sake are the favorites II one
can AFFORD them, but simpler bibs Of pique,
emb roidered, scalloped and buttonholed
or of lawn herringboned and bordered by
valenciennes frills are for general use.
Exquisite lingerie and lace caps for little
babies are many, but the intricate shirring,
pinched up tucking, cording, TO-, which
60 to their shaping must be seen to be un-
derstood. Fantastic models are offered
for short dress babies, but the close fitting
cap remains the accepted thing for 6rvt
year wear.

in any discussion Of baby outfits. Fine
dainty, exquisite, soft, simple-those are
the baby clothes detectives, and those are
the characteristics which every woman
OF good taste to-day tries to embody In
her baby's outfit, whether it be costly or
inexpensive.
At the head Of the list Of expensive and
fashionable baby dresses are those en-
broidered by hand, and with very little
fine valenciennes as further trimming
beading OF the fine babyish kind, and
veining one takes for granted in every
baby dress, and the finest OF hand tucks
are seldom altogether lacking.
Here are sketches of several OF these
little hand embroidered dresses, repre-
senting the height Of modish elegance.
but there are scores of models Of the same
class. and for the baby born with silver
spoon In his mouth dresses are often en-
broidered to order following the individual
tastes and whims of the mother
The very fine floral designs In trailing
vines or small sprays or sprigs are the
babyish things. such embroidery as is
found upon the finest Of French kerchiefs.
No bold or striking designs or stitches are
In order.
Sometimes the edges Of collars, cuffs,
fronts and bottom frills are scalloped and
buttonholed, but this idea Is developed
more often In coats than 10 dresses. A
white crepe model illustrated among the
cuts exhibits very we'll the possibilities
In this scheme, and another charming
suggestion to be noted In the same model
tho insertion Of short strips Of valon-
ciennes down the fronts, with tiny sprays
embroidered to look as though slipped
into the lace bars and held by them. This
front trimming will work into dress OF

md shallow embroidered yokes set en-
with veining and finished at the throat
with veining or beading and a lace frill
are much used upon simpler dresses not
20 prohibitive in price as those more
lavishly embroidered.
Embroidered kerchiefs are often used
by the clever woman for yokes or collars
Of baby frocks, kerchief with fairly efYec.
tive corner embroidery being less expensive
than similar embroidery done to order.
Even some OF the machine embroidered
kerchiefs are fine enough and pretty enough
now to be pressed into service for baby's
less pretentious dresses, though as a rule
tucking, heringboning and inset valen-
siennes are better trimmings than embroid-

daintiest kind.

been admitted. Even a very young woman
is fairer to look on In an atmosphere less
destructive OF some of the elements Of
beauty. Perhaps there Is nothing less BE-
coming than the straight locks which are
the fate OF every woman who goes to the
seashore unprovided by nature with curly
hair.
This year the woman who wears hat Is
able to avoid the things that most damage
her beauty. She can veil herself in graceful
draperies calculated to make her beautiful,
or at least to add to her beauty under nearly
all circumstances, The automobile veil is
probably responsible for the present style,
which even those women who do not ride
in motor cars are assiduously cultivating.
Over their heads are tied yards Of silk
muslin, crossed under the chin and then
allowed to fall in graceful drapeies. The
veil is full and soft enough to be becoming
to any face and the pale shades Of mauve,
blue and rose color that float in the air
suggest pre-Raphaelite pictures in their
grace and beauty of line.
The absence Of effort about them adds
a quality Of charm. They are all simply
arranged. Over the head and tied under
the chin is all there is to their arrangement.
The wind and the color and OF course the
girl have to do the rest. Never was summer
fashion more classical and beautiful.
Summer necessities have invented another
fashion that is almost as classic. Tho
girls who play golf and tennis have found
that the easiest way to keep tho hair up
Is to tie It with ribbon that extends around
the head from the nare Of tho neck to the
brow.
So on every golf and tennis court they
are wearing these varicolored fllets that
add an exotic, Hellenic touch to dress In
every other way quite as modern q Il
could we'll be. There are few lovelier
visions Of the summer girl than her mani
festation in blond with pale blue or pale
green band over those locks that nature
has put into curl and tightens up even by
the seashore 80 that the fall OF the pro-
tecting veil Is not necessary.
The ingenuity of the American woman's
taste thus makes q means to beauty what IL
founded on very practical necessity, and
Nausicaa playing ball with her landmarks
could suggest nothing more classic than

and all loose features OF that sort are un-
desirable upon little baby's dress They
muss and crumple and get out Of place,
making the dress look soiled before Il

fluttering details Ia the most satisfactory
idea.

Underslips OF fine lawn, cut low and
round In the neck and sleeves, are sold for
wear under the very sheer dresses with
transparent inset lace. They are finished
around neck and armholes with frils Of
narrow valenciennes and hGve lace Dor
dered hounce at the bottom.

Little sacks made in similar fashion are
dainty and useful, and long or short capes,

Inhum anity to Woman

Inhumanity to woman.
There Is more trouble about servants
in the suburbs this summer than there ever
was before. and one town in particular
has recently been the scene Of many domes-
tic difficulties. Households there have
been for weeks without servants, and the
summer has been ruined for more families
than one by this cause.

years enjoyed her ministrations decided
