phatically a white season, every wise
woman has at least one sheer white
frock in her outfit. If she can afford
but one dainty sheer frock, by all
means let it be white. Nothing else
launders or cleanses so well, nothing
else is so generally becoming, nothing
else can be worn so often without bo
coming a tiresome story.
Batiste, the fine lawns, dotted and
embroidered Swiss plumetis and null
are the thin white lingerie stuffs dear
to the summer girl, and the lawns,
though Often beautifully fine and pos.
sesscd Of excellent wearing and laun-
dering qualities, have Of late yielded
precedence to the materials Of softer
finish. sValeneiennes is inevitable
upon the sheer lingerie frock, but il
is often used merely to soften the
lines, while by-the-yard embroideries
assume the responsibility Of the chief
trimming.

this summer, is a good model for the
embroidery trimmed lingerie frock,
wide embroidery founcing, upon ba-
tiste or other very soft material, being
used for the three skirt sections. In
pretty model displayed in one Of the
large stores, batiste was the chosen
material and the skirt has a triple
one formed Of three Aounces Of batiste
embroidery finished on the edge with
large scallops and with an embroidered
design of heavy raised dots set in cir
cles, one circle within another.
To the bottom Aounce Of the unlined
skirt was given a straight edge by lay
ing deep scalloped edge fat upon a
broad band Of batiste inset with bands
Of narrow valenciennes, and sewing IL
firmly. The middle point Of each seal
lop touched tho bottom edge Of the
hem, but between scallops the open
spaces showed the bands Of valenci.

Some such device is necessary wher.

broidered, is set just under the seal.
lops, which rest upon it.
A deep bertha Of the embroidery set
on with tiny verticle tucks trimmed the
blouse Of the gown under discussion,
and the yoke and the whole sleeve
were Of valenciennes edging. The
bertha, falling low hid the transparent
sleeve above the elbow, but when the

Now is the time to buy embroidery
Aouucings, insertions, robe patterns,
etc., at bargain prices and, though
there are new designs in embroidery
each each year, there is little chance
that the designs Of one summer will
be notieeably out Of date by another
summer. The same is true Of the good
valenciennes edgings insertion and all
overs, and short lengths Of these are
being sold now at prices that make
them good investments. Valenciennes
is always serviceable for underwear
trimming, even if one does not hold
II over until another season for frock
trimming.
The white dotted Swisses and other
embroidered swisses have their peren-
nial vogue, and this summer brought
few very pretty new designs in small
figures and in trailing figures combined
with the favorite dots. Printed swisses
with flower designs over a plain or
dotted surface have also appeared in
attractive guise.
A pretty froek of this style Of white
dotted swiss trimmed in valeneiennes,
extremely simple, yet with a surpris-
ingly chic and knowing air, due to
medallions of dotted flower swiss, set
into skirt and blouse with valenei-
ennes insertion. The flower design on
a white ground is Of tiny wild roses,
pale pink and yellow, with their soft
light green foliage, and a girdle OF
pale and yellow shot louisine ribboa
harmonizes delightfully."- with the touch
Of color in the medallions.
Another white frock, more lavishly
trimmed, though not so unusual, com
bines valeneiennes insertion and lace
and small medallions of fine swiss en-
broidery in its trimming. On the bot
tom of the skirt Aounee and around
the body run alternate rows Of inset in
sertion and frills of lace Of the same
width, the lace frill falling over a
plain narrow band of the frOek mate
rial. This adjustment Of insertion and
edging is repeated often upon this sea
