its lightness, and shepherds check as
well as plain colors is shown in both
materials.
A fad Of the season is for joining
the skirt and the blouse, making the
boomers separate. but experienced
Fathers uniformly prefer the other
method, as it is the only thoroughly
comfortable one.
The little fancy boleros and Etons
that have been noted as parts Of suits
during the early summer are now
appearing as separate wraps in black
taffeta and in linen, and are exceed
ingly chic as we'll as exceedingly use
full. A pretty finish is a tiny frill OF
silk laid in fiat plaits with Valen-
ciennes lace beneath, although plisse
muslin is also used in the same way
in combination with collars OF the
material embroidered.
The very latest leather belts give a
waistcoat effect and are wide at the
front, narrower at the back, where
they are buckled into place and are
trimmed with tiny brass buttons,
which simulate the vest, while small
pockets are inserted. one for the
watch and one for change.
Favorite wraps for the summer.
especially for the resort, are little
capes or pelerines, made of feathers,
all marabout or marabout and ostrich
combined. They are exceedingly
graceful, exceedingly charming and
exceedingly becoming. White is we'll
liked for the carriage, but for general
wear darker colors or mixtures Of
black and white prevail.
So many really good motor hats
are shown that it seems unpardon-
able for women to make themselves
as ugly as they do. An excellent one.
which has recently appeared, is made
Of straw, with Tam O. Shanter crown
and visor brim, and is trimmed with
wings, one at each side, while the
protective curtain is Of chiffon,
draped at the back and brought round
to the front to serve as a scarf. With
it any face veil that may be liked
can be worn in combination.
Summer gloves are many and are
both comfortable and attractive, Isle
and silk both being shown in really
beautiful openwork designs as well
as in plain mesh. Elbow sleeves
have created a demand for the long
gloves, as was inevitable, and these i,
are made highly decorative with en-
broidery and lace effects. Among tn
newest Of the more substantial kind
is a really heavy silk, which is both
handsome and durable.
Novelties in bags seem to know no
end. The very latest which has yet
appeared is known as the handker-
chief bag, for the reason that there
Is a large flap in front which opens
with a snap and admits OF inserting
the handkerchief, which can readily
be pulled cut without opening the
purse portion.
Painted parasols are constantly ap-
pearing in fresh forms. The very
latest shows a group of thistles on
one side, with a bunch OF pink and
yellow roses on the other. the ma
terial being the mousseline de sol,
which makes a most satisfactory
foundation for the plating.
Simplicity is an ll-important e,e-
ment in the gowns OF the younger
contingent. and the favorite finish
for the round skirts is a broad hem,
hemstiicheh by hand, nothing dain-
tier than which well can be imagined.
