The dotted Swisses, which are always
dainty, are quite as popular as ever
especially the all-white ones. This sea-
son, by way of variation, they are seen
in combination with other materials
printed lawns, embroidered mulls, and
tucked muslins. A pretty frock for a
schoolgirl fashioned after this manner
consisted of a plain full skirt, with a
band Of embroidered batiste set in
above the four-inch hem, and CAB
rielle waist, with the pointed piece, the
cuffs, and low stock also Of the en-
broidery.
Linens have lost none of their popu-
larity albeit some Of their exclusive
ness, and we have no end of charming
confections simple and elaborate. The
old rule that they must be finally tailor
ed and beautifully Numbered to be
CONNIE il faut holds good now as ever.
Few plain linen suits will be seen,
lace embroidery and applique having
forced their way here as elsewhere.
The handkerchief linens chiefly will be
given lace embellishments either in
medallions or band effects while the
heavier sort will receive huge tufted
embroidery motifs. Really attractive
design, conventional and otherwise, are
to be had ready for application, in
which case a severely plain linen frock
becomes, with the expenditure of a
couple of dollars. and as many hours OF
work, a truly elaborate and expensive
appearing frock.
With linen skirts and as for that
with skirts Of every sort, will be worn
little jackets Of linen and lace. These
may be tight-atting, hip-length, severe
ly plain coats long tailored affairs
reaching to the knees, pony coats Of
alternate rows of coarse lace and linen
| strips, or they may take on bolero OF
Elton forms, be heavily embroidered OF
entirely Of lace-anyway they are
I fashionable, and it is quite permissible
| to wear them with silk or cloth coats
homogeneous as it seems.
| One of the smartest of these is a GER
tain military effect, with long tabs II
front and epaulets on the shoulders.
The back and front are cut in one
piece when the cloth is wide enough t.
allow it; otherwise there is a seam il
| the back. At any rate, it is formed
| like the ordinary bolero worn with {
princess skirt, the front tabs hanging
from the shoulders near the sleeve
leaving the fronts rounded, again lik,
| the ordinary bolero, where it is mad,
| to fasten with a couple of linen frogs
There is a collar of bright red, eithet
| silk or linen, and the entire garment /!

sleeves are draped, coming in at til,
elbow to straight cuff, braidtrimmet
and given an inner frill of two rows o
Valenciennes edge.
The golf shirt waist has brough
linen into vogue again for separate
blouses, although that particular style
will probably engulf all others for thi
season at least. Worn at the prope
time and with the proper accompani-
| ments, the golf waist is not only con
venient but smart, but, when some as
| piring girl rushes on this waist with
/ feather bedecked hat and lace-trimmet
skirt, as some are sure to do, the gol
| waist has lost it's power to charm.

imitation Irish lace around the bottom
which flares prettity, and a pony Goa

White is also a prime favorite il
silks. In fact, whites and the yer
palest tints will by the middle of Jun
be found to have quite superseded tn
colored silks. Few taffetas are seer
the coarser weaves being more in evi
dence. The Oriental silks, RajaF
Bulujame, etc, and these are all niue
more attractive in whites than in an
of the shades. Mostly they are mad
into suits, either long coats or Elton:
merely stitched or trimmed slmpl
with braid.
