GOWNS OF LIGHT TEXTURE.
Though Elaborate i. Design, They
Might BE Put Through
Finger Ring.

American women stand preeminent
IN other parts Of the wC,l, The French
demoiselles may surp2aS them In dar-
ing costumes, the Eno..-.i in neatness
but for extravaganza tie American
woman is without rival. The gown OF
q seaside girl the present season Is al
most worth it, weight In precious
stones, says fashion authority.
Seven ounces is the least her sum-
ner gown can weigh-fourteen and be
quite correct 10 the most, says one au-
thority-but what she may pay for these
few ounces 10 another matter. Her
noGiste's bills will run along in the
eighties ard hundreds for even the sew
en-oUnce gown.
Tou cannot put 4 gown through q
wedding riAe. as you could the proverb-
ial white null OF your grandmother
time, but you can hardly feel Its weight
as you pick up waist and skirt Of chif
tony texture, made over chiffon skirts
and worn with a chifrony expression.
The object of the ten-ounce gown 10.
you wear the mere comfortable you are
that is mere fact But the texture
this gown is made Of determines its ex-
pense and the unGerskirts play a great
part in the experience as well as in the
expense Of the gown.

embroidered in the lightest floss with
dainty thistI5 pattern. The embroidery
;dds almost nothing to the weight Of the
gown and gives just the touch of trim
ming necessary.
Then Lr-rs are the pineapple gauzes
t4&t loo 50 simple and are really elab
3rate and expensive and mean deal of
labor. The weigh scarcely more than
feather, but their cost would make the
scales dip heavily.

d con Ibinati0a Of two expensive
.'ffs. made a beautiful gown. The un-
.ersl ir.s ar made Of the finest OF lawn,
Heieticg scarcely more them the eauze,
AID aIa rU.'ieg with a sinE.1 thread lace,
effective and light. There are no tucks
Z. the uLdera ,.irts; they would be too
heavy. The plain ruffle without inser-
zion and only the lace edglng Is much
in favor
The pineapple gauze gown may be
trimmed as elaborately with lace as may
suit the wearer's fancy, provided she
does not buy lace that weighs much.
This is prohibited End only the lightest,
daintiest, and. Of course, the most ex-
nsiye laces are 1sed.
Chiffon takes the place greatly Of lace,
and, with pineapple gauze, is made over
drop shir, Of white silk Between the !
trop skirt and the outer skirt is an in |
terlining Of chiffon that falls In billowy
fuilness at the bottom and makes lace /
cu-Ia5 unnecessary.
yard Of chiffon weighs but a frac- |
zion of al ounce. You can utilize a good |
many yards in making an ounce, ard |
seven ounces is enough for gown. Ac- !
'3rdion-plaited dresses are being made |
II these thin. light fabrics
Aside from the gowns of lace net and |
chiffon there are those made entirely of |
lace. A Cluny lace gown will cost $500,
perhaps, but TO the summer girl who |
aims at lightweight clothes this is no
and nothing could be hand
somer than cream Cluny lace gown
made over pale pink chiffon, and sure
v nothing could weigh less
