with a touch of heliotrope embroidery
here and there, and the girdle was of
heliotrope library satin.
A dainty little pink and white
checked silk attracted attention among
a number Of pretty summer frocks' The
| color was delicate, and relief from
! the numerous bright shades of the
| color. 1t had plated skirt without
any trimming except a group of inch
wide tucks at the hem The bodice
| was plated on the shoulders in way
to leave the front quite plain. 1t was
cut in a deep point in the front and
back, scalloped all round, with the
| scallops outlined with the naroWest OF
white satin ribbon. The ribbon APP
| peared on the front of the waist in
| large bow knot design and the mater
| ial was further decorated with a little
| embroidery in white silk. The gown
had bodice girdle shirred from the
sides, and trimmed in front with four
ruby colored glass buttons set in sill
yer.
! There have not been so many rutfied
| gowns since the early seventies, when
narrow ruffles were made to fairly
cover the gowns. The rutfies nowadays
are used with reserve. A foulard gown
in the fashionable large polka-dot had
| a very full Empire skirt, plated at the
waist and hanging in long, straight
folds below. The trimming was mar
row ruff1es, three rows of them, put on
festoon fashion. The middle row was
made to cross the lower in what the
designers term diaper. There was a
girdle of black satin-the gown was
black with large white spots-and a
plated short bolero worn over a blouse
of baby Irish crochet. The bolero was
outlined all around with a band Of the
lace edged at the top with frill Of
Valenciennes. The short pulled sleeves
ahd a shallow cuff of Irish crochet, and
were finished with several frills of the
Valenciennes. A large picture hat of
black proxylin, trimmed, with ostrich
feathers, an immense aigrette and pink
roses was worn with the gown.
With almost all street and prone
made gowns are worn net or lace boas
or rufus These are very beautiful, very
becoming, and very costly, since they
are by nature perishable. 1t is quite
the thing to have hat boa, and parasol
to match.
Parasols, whether they match cos
tunes or not, are things of beauty this
year. A group of them in a window
this week attracted great deal OF
attention. Among the best was one
of white taffeta, with a straight Dor
der of doubled mousselne de sole. The
entire parasol was painted in richly
colored design Of ripe blackberries
with tinted leaves and stems
A pale pink taffeta parasol was
painted with carnations in deeper pink
The flowers were informally arranged
with very little foliage. Another white
parasol was embroidered in Empire
wreaths and garlands in pink blue, ant
green. The embroidery was In chenille
and the design was partly painted
Many parasols are embroidered III
ribbon work. A lovely example in ricf
, white satin was decorated with large
lunches of roses deep-toned violets II
ribon. Another in pale blue satin wa.
similarly decorated. A second paraso
in pale blue had a border of violet rib,
bon, and was painted with pale violets
Very striking was a parasol of white
satin embroidered in large design
with gold thread This had a rufflt
border of white chiffon. A paraso
with foundation of white taffeta wa,
nearly covered with shirrings of white
chiffon, The little taffeta that showed
was painted With a pale pink flower de.
sign More substantial are the man,
coaching and street paraisols of brocad,
and shadow silks in all-over flowers de
signs. These come in gray and ligh
brown tones warmed with pink, red
and golden touches.
The veil occupies such an ifnportan
place in the well-dressed woman
toilette that the demand for new idea
is constant. At present the brown lac
veil is prominent. First we had TIL
bandeau of brown tule, no matte
what the shade of the hat and now W
behold the brown lace veil worn owe
blue, green or even white hats. Thi
: veil is worn loosely, but is neve
thrown back over the hat like chiffol
! veil. An attempt was maed to intro
duce other lace wells in colors to mattel
the costume, but the brown one alon
! has survived,
Chiffon wells are very popular still
Net and lace and many fancy combina
tions are seen, and the greatest care i
taken by well-dressed women tina
exactly the right veil Is worn with tn
S right hat. For motoring, long chiffo,
0 wells are the only wear They are tie
q over the hat like hood and secured
y fastened under the chin. Just at pre-
r sent light red hats with chiffon veil
to match seem to be the favorite thin
for motoring. For a time green wa
t the prevailing color, but the craze fo
e red swept that away, and now tn
e country roads are full of coral motor
