New York, July 7.-As the warm
weather asserts itself and lingerie
waists and linen, cotton and muslin
gowns are more and more in demand,
the fever for hand embroidery steadily
Increases. 1t is fashion and fancy
that seems simplicity itself, but an en-
broidered gown is by no means low
priced affair even when machine made
while hand embroidery represents a
great deal of money as we'll as labor.
Even when elaborate patterns are not
attempted the effect is always extrem-
ely pretty. Scallops are used on ev-
erything and embroidered belts are
worn whenever possible. Sometimes
gloves, hat and parasol are all en-
broidered to match the costume. Not
only are linen gowns thus decorated,
but pongee and wolfe as WELL With
these dresses are carried silk para
soils very much beflowered.
A beautiful blue pongee gown was
lovely with six embroidery. A soft
brown of the same material was ex-
quisitely covered with tiny silk vines
of the same shade. The skirts of these
dresses were as deliberately trimmed
as the waists. This seems to be the
rule In embroidered gowns, to have it
all over or else but very little and that
on the waist.
In the linen suits there are seen
two distinct styles-the very dressy
affairs, which may be as elaborate as
one pleases, and the extremely simple
suit without q particle of trimming
anywhere. In white these plain suits
are particularly attractive, for they can
very easily be kept fresh and crisp,
which is more difficult matter with
deliberately trimmed and decorated
wash dresses.
For evening wear white dresses are
much In demand. All over Valencien-
mes, made over taffeta, is very lovely
and more desirable from a point of
comfort than the heavy satins and
spangled robes which are still in de-
mand for the hotels and watering
places.
Ing costumes the Jet robe Is much in
favor. The foundation is black net,
the Jets are put on by hand in beauti-
full and effective designs. Gold and
silver spangles are used with white
and black satins, this combination be-
Ing very smart. A charmingly dainty
evening gown can be made of the soft
finish taffeta silks, which are usually
trimmed with ruchings of tulle or net.
For day wear in silk the figured In
dias are charmingly cool and they are
also fashionable. Theses are trimmed
with velvet ribbon in rows around the
edge of the skirt.
1t Is a mistake, however, to have
only silk, net and lace gowns for sum-
mer wear, for there are many fascinat-
ingly becoming materials in the market
that 1t Is wise to take advantage, of
them. Like mousseline, organizes, lawn
and embroidered batiste mako I'M char
mingly and are :uitable for almost any
occasion. There are also the nOwereu
and figured chiffons, though lovely as
they are they are useless in damp re-
gion, or near the shore. The striped
chiffons and gauzes have more body,
are very effective and are much used
for theatre gowns as we'll as for a
summer dinner or ball dress. Though
these at first cost are rather expen-
sive they are found cheaper in the end,
and when the trOusseau is being plan
ned for the season 1t Is we'll to include
two or three of them.
Among the elaborate summer wraps
some wonderful lace coats are shown
not the little Jackets of year ago,
but the three-quarter length garments
made of piece lace and half fit
ted to the figure, which 1t sets of to
great advantage. Guipure makes a
heavy, rich garment of this kind, but
there are lovely creations in Valenci-
ennes and ribbons, as we'll as the pop
ular Irish lace which can be crocheted
to fit any pattern.
These lace coats are to be used of
course over the silks and satins of the
more formal social functions.
Among the most noticeable fashions
this season Is the new one in Shoes
For one thing color Is the newest fad.
While there must be In every summer
wardrobe at least one pair of bright,
gay-colored shoes, there must also be
shoes that will match and blend in
color with every gown. Or one may
wear black patent leather, which
goes with those listed, though 1t does
make small foot appear larg,. For
morning wear the tan shoe 10 prefera-
