The woman who takes up the late
newspPysrs and magazines expecting
to CLEAN some practical hints regard
ing her wardrobe will be as disap-
pointed as the one who takes up the
same papers and magazines with the
hope OF finding practical menus for
the summer table. Never has there
been 50 much extravaganza in dress
as at present. One is bewildered by
the descriptions of things considered
needful by the well dressed woman
In gowns all light shades are worn
and II is hard to pick out the most
popular shade.
Mrs. Roosevelt clings to pale blue

net have taken to pink and to rasp

color of the week.
Only the wealthy can afford to be
properly gloved this season, for the
fashion calls for pair of gloves to
match each gown. Embroidered silk
gloves are correct with all silk cos
tunes and with all the summer fab
rics. The gloves are elbow length
richly embroidered In self color, and
are worn with jeweled glove brace
lets.
The color schemes, such as rasp
berry and white. black and green
pink and brown and blue and rose
enter also into the gloves.
Hardly within the memory of the
present generation has there been such
variety and extravaganza In dress
shoes. Each frock has its individual
pair Of shoes with hose to match and
| often the hose exceed the cost of the
shoes. The average society woman
will pay almost any price from SIS
to $50 to satisfy her hobby.
1t is evident that the tan shoe Is
! to be a real feature throughout the
summer months. High Cuban heels
are taking precedence over French
heels and neat little buckles of al
kinds are being more used on street
shoes than ever before.
The woman with just one new gowr
this year is puzzled to know how she
can adapt it to the various occasion.
