made to match the many shades Of cloth

materials or to harmonize with the
cloth and the braid or silk used for
trimming. A particularly pretty pattern

WHITE WASH GOWNS MUST

1t was evident earlier in the season
that coat and skirt costumes OF white
and colored linen were to be more than

cred smart enough for almost any oc-
casion-mornfng or afternoon.
A shirt waist gown is now rarely seen
without coat to match, and with every
duck skirt there should be on hand a
coat OF the same material. For driving
or automobiiing-short runs, that is, not
the extended tours-& linen coat is all
ways slipped on over the waist to serve
the, double purpose OF keeping on dust

ed plaits, may also be strapped with

White linen suits are from an eco

white IS ever the most serviceabIe sum-

Her Pocket

fingered thief had succeeded in finding
a womans pocket and relieving It OF its
valuable contents. brings to mind all the
DID, sad jokes about Miladys lack of re-
ceptacles in her garments. But as a
matter of fact, she has such receptacles.
although ignorant man is usually bliss
fully unconscious OF them.
True, he has an occasionally hazy idea
which he modestly refuses to entertain
long. that she sometimes carries things
in her hosiery. and he has flashes OF

THE NEW CORSET
Is Full of Graceful Lines and the Pret-
riest Curves Imaginable.

Slowly, but irreyocably corset lines
are changing. They're IN a transition
period as yet-a state in which they will
probably stay some time. For it's the
case OF the straight front versus the
old-time small waist, and the question

She has tired of the exaggerated tilt to

all the gracious little curves that it's
possible to get and still keep In the

The consequence is that the small
waist has come back again. but with
the prettiest difference imaginable. IN
stead OF the pinched up. awkward fig

waist drawn in all around. has come a
charming new corset. as free and COM

Sllr1r1EP BRIDES
Delicate, Cool Fabrics Such as Chiffon
or Organdie Are Used Now.

No matter what the season, wedding
is always attractive, but the necessary
of a country ceremony COM
bined with the natural charm OF the sea-
son renders a summer or autumn we'd
ding more than ever delightful.
While white satin is nearly always
worn by the winter bride, this Is too
heavy for July or august, and liberty
satin. chiffon, embroidered mousseline or
some more delicate texture must take It's
place 1t is a mistake also not TO take
advantage of the time of year and dress
the bridesmaids in the lightest and dain-
tiest of organdie or fowered muslin
gowns There is plenty of time during
the rest OF the year Tor them to wear
silks. laces. and chiffons.
One wedding gown illustrated is essen
tally for a summer bride, being of soft
white liberty satin, trimmed with lace
and opening over a slip or petticoat OF
tucked and plated mousseline de sole.
The yoke is of mousseline de sole trim
med with three rows of shirring on the
collar, and about the yoke are laid in
bowknot design ruchings of narrow lib
erty satin ribbon. The deep bertha or
fichu OF old blond lace is draped about
the yoke in wide scallopS, and from the
joining in the center is carried down
across the waist to the belt. Just al
the throat and in the Achu on the front
Of the bodice are small clusters OF
orange blossoms. The sleeves are form
ed OF four fun puffs. each one trifie
smaller than the one above. while a
deep cuff of tucked mouSSeiine de sole
reaches from wrist to elbow Upon the
topmost puff and on the cuff are seen
again the bowknot designs in the ribbon
ruching The mouSseline slip in the cen
ter of the skirt is laid in narrow tuck
at the top, while below the knees are
four bands of shirring above a fun tuck
ed fiounce Two rows Of ruching are
carried down the length of the slip; the
ribbon beging caught into q tiny bow
knot at the top of the fiounce. The skirt
itself is bordered all around with deer
hand of blond lace.

Whether from religious motives or
otherwise, the custom of banishing meat
from the table for one day in the seven
