account Of these becoming dress ad-
juncts slipping from their noorfnrs.
To avoid similar mishaps the careful |
woman this summer win attach her
chemisette to a thin, sleeveless waist
which viii not appreciably add to its
weight. It is useless to say that all
these blouses fasten invisibly in the
back with tiny lace buttons and work
ed loops.
A simple and smart lingerie blouse
seen recently at an exclusive house
was of sheerest nainsook cut without
fullness except at the waist line. The
square yoke back and front and the
very high collar were of eyelet hole
and blind embroidery mingled in one
exquisite pattern. Outlining this yoke.
giving a fascinating, airy square effect,
were rows Of inch wide closely gather
ed val ruffles- The touch that gives
distinction to this French CONNECTION
was a tricornered design of hand en-
broidery worked in fine white cotton
thread just below the yoke. The full
bishop sleeves were three quarter
length and under the elbow had an en-
broidered turned back cuff and under
| sleeves of ruff1ed lace. Another
charming example of lingerie blouse is
created from handkerchief linen shir-

| yoke. The sleeves are set in the arm
holes with shirrings, and the inner
sleeve seam is shirred into elbow length
and finished with ruff1es of linen and
lace. The only other trimming on the
blouse is made of large wheels of halt
inch val lace, two wheels being placed
| on the front of the bodice and one on
each sleeve. a straight trimming line
preserved on waist and sleeves.
Very stunning is a waist of heavy
linen made with a center box plat ex-
tending from waist to throat danked
by two similar plaits stopping at the
bottom of a deep. fancifully shaped
yoke. The sleeves are moderately full
and finish with mannish cuffs.
Wonderfully effective is a blouse OF
pale yellow chiffon cloth plated about
the figure into a bolero effect crossed
with bretelles of swiss insertion edged
with mauve velvet The skirt to be
worn with this waist is of accordion
plated yellow chiffon attached to {
girdle of mauve silk.
Unquestionably clothes do get on the
nerves a little, especially when the
mode of tomorrow so quickly becomes
the de mode of yesterday, and it is &
comfort with all the changes going or
in styles that the skirts remain almost
the same. For ordinary tub dresses The
new five gored pattern is used. It i.
slightly gathered at the sides and bacl
and is trimmed with a deep Spanish
f1ounce. The f1ounce has a wide hem
above which are tucks or rows of in.
sertion or embroidery. 1t is gathered
to the gored part of the skirt with
heading or is joined with a two incl
band of embroidery or heavy lace.
On dressy gowns, when no thought o
the tub is evident, many circular ruff
f1es are used rounded and slashed a.
the center of the back and front. Th'
old fashioned model made with three
lace ruff1es is again popular, but is car.

departed. The object now is to add
beauty to beauty until each lovely fab
rio is half hidden, only appearing for
moment into fascinating prominence.
Princess gowns in the thinnest mate
rails are Partisan fad of the summer
These gowns are tucked to fit into tn
waist line and are elaborately trimmei
with lace and dainty hand work
Many of these gowns are cut decollet
and are worn over colored silk slips
