of pale blue satin forming the hem. Above the hem were two narrower bands of the satin profusely trimmed
 with lace ruchings put on under and over the satin in points. The waist had very graceful fichu, lace trimmed to weariness. which tied in the back, the ends falling down like sash. The satin girdle was almost a bodice, so generous were its proportions.
 Many of the dancing gowns of the
 season are of muslin and lowered net.
 When the material is plain, nothing is prettier than the artificial flower trim
 mings seen on many of them. Tiny garlands of roses are used, and bands
 of roses appear as decorations of lace
 and muslin gowns. A lovely white
 crepe de chine gown had deep flounce
 of lace cut in points at the top, the
 points outlined with bands of palest
 pink roses. The draped bodice had
 deep pointed. bertha of lace. There
 were no roses on the waist except to
 outline the short, draped sleeve. There
 was g. sash of two-inch wide black vel
 vet ribbon with long ends .. 4.. A white lace gown was trimmed with lgreenish white roses, these arranged
 in garlands above deep knee-flounce.
 The gown was princess with yoke
 effect, hardly a real yoke, since the bodice was decollete, of white tulle
 thickly shirred. Garlands of the roses
 were arranged below the tulle.
 Another white crepe de chine gown,
 worn by g. handsome dark girl, was trimmed with little cluster of bright
 red roses. The roses outlined the
 decolEetes being erltwined in the fichu of
 soft lace, whose long ends were tied be-

 Did anyone ever hear of anything
 more idotic than playing tennis in two
 wells? Or one veil. for that matter
 Just now it is a fad to wear short gauge veil, and a chiffon veil over it for
 tennis. No sensible girl will favor such
 a fashion. Aside from the @absurdity of it, there is real danger from exercising
 without an adequate supply of air. An lother fad is leaving off the veil when
 motoring This may be a challenge to
 women whose tresses will not stay In eurls while driving at rapid pace. It is very bad for the complexion to re-
 main long with the wind assailing the
 face.
 There seems to be vogue this
 season for brown wells, just as there
 once was for emerald green. The mo-
 toring woman reYels in brown chiffon
 veils, usually spotted with chenille or velvet. Brow barege and brown lace Iveils are also fashionable, Brown is a 1 9trying color to many, but that does not appear to have occurred to some of the
 wearers But brown veils are great
 complexion preseryers, and the wise
 woman does not go motoring to have
 her face ruined by dust and weather.
 The long vogue of broderie Anglais
 has given way; in a measure to the more refined Italian cut work, which
 somewhat resembles the eyelet en-
 hroidery, but is much more satisfactory aesthetically, The two combine ex- , tremely well, and the latest fancy work ; is making collars in the combinations , Beautiful patterns are stamped for a small sum and the work seems to in. terest many women. However, the
 number of women who take up needle. work for a pastime, or from a sense ot - duty grows smaller annually. Two girls who came to summer hotel from 8 Southern city wore clothes which were marvels of hand embroidery, hem stitching, and hand-run tuclSs. They had 8 great many gowns and always . looked we'll They were not especially , popular however, as they did not play golf at all and tennis very indifferently They were not used to walking ant l were not brilliant conversationalists ) we have so little time to read >oi practice tennis," said one of the girls f Then she added proudly: My mother l brought us up to think that girls should
 be fine needle women. My sister and g make all our own gowns It sounded } positively rnedfaeval The making l ones own gowns Is not yet out of date $ but the idea of neglecting books ant wholesome sport in order to wea [ finery has happily gone out of fashion Devotion to fine needlework has ) ruined countless eyes. The poor girls l who earn their bread by embroiderins - often lose their sight altogether Tht |, danger never seems to be anticipated by their mothers who allow them, oi
 encourage them to take up the trade < A tragedy is on the records of the Con a sumers', League. A young girl brough l up In a benevolent institution had beer f taught to make fine buttonholes il F linen, So highly specialized did she be t come that when she was sent out in tn, l world to earn her living she could liter s lally do nothing except work button k lholes in linen. Cloth buttonholes wer l. lbeyond her. Of course, the girl lost tn t use of her eyes, would have gone blind = in fact, if kind hearted persons had no v Icome to her rescue. The worst of thi t tale is that the benevolent institution il . which the girl was reared was a Stat T institution where work for manufac f turers was carried on illegally. Thes .
