The silk Blouse Is Modish.

The silk Blouse Is Modish.
 The lingerie blouse does not carry all before 1t this season as it has in pre- vious years. Soft silks and satins are used extensively in dressy bouses made very much on the style of the lingerie blouse. These are very often called silk lingerie blouses. Fine laces are inserted, motifs are applied, tucks are run in blouse and sleeves and fine embroiderles run riot over the front and in the cuffs and collar. very pale yellow Louisine is used in the pictured model in comblna- tion with butter colored laces. and the blouse front, collar and cuffs are em- broidered in daisy design, with silk floss of matching shade. The long shoulder effect is attained by the of the wide lace insertion, and the sleeves are shirred on the upper arm making double puff. It will be noted that the sleeves are a- most full length.
 Yoke Effects Are Popular.
 Yokes and yoke effects are seen In al- most every dressy blouse. Where there is not yoke of the same material, aces or embroidery, the effect is given with medallions in this instance in shamrock design, inset in the collar and down the front of this sheer lawn blouse and their outlines followed by val. insertions form Ing the deep pointed yoke. These inser- lions extend over the shoulder, and take the form of round yoke in the back. The sleeves are inserted with lace in deep point, reaching almost to the elbow, and are gathered into q rather deep cuff of alternate rows of lace and lawn, n single medallion being set on the top of the arm. ss
 Spotted Chiffons Are Mounted Over
 Striped silk.
 Dark colored separate waists are classed among the novelties in this department of women's wear this summer Trans parent chiffons and very fine lawns are mounted over thin summer silks such as China or orkeda, and trimmed with fine laces. Perhaps the most attractive of these darker waists is that of a navy blue satin striped chiffon, dotted with white coin spots as large as an American quarter, mounted over a blue and white striped chiffon taffeta. The tac 'ta Is used on the cross, while the chiffon is cut on the straight. Simple modes are best when materials of this type are com- bined, and the illustrated model Is ex- tremely attractive and becoming to al- most any figure. It Is tucked on the shoulders to give the necessary fullness over the bust and cut out at the neck. both back and front, to admit of the chemisette and high featherboned collar of baby Irish mounted over mousseline. The sleeves are simple puffs finished with a cuff of narrow frills of val. and banded with a navy blue novelty silk braid, but ton trimmed. This braid is also used to outline the cut out neck.
 Hand Embroideries Elaborate the
 Prettiest BIouses.
 The daintiest lingerie blouses are those which carry fine hand embroderies. Blind effects are liked even better than eyelet work. Women have tired of the peek-a- boo waist, or mayhap the adverse criti- cism to which this waist was subjected we cannot say, but certain 1t Is that this summers waists arc far from what might l classed under this title. Val. all-over makes the yoke of this waist of fine handkerchief line, the embroideries which outline the yoke extending upon the lace and down the front in plastron effect, surrounding the crescent shaped medal lion. The sleeves are small puffs, in- serted with val. entre deux and finished with a lace trimmed cuff. The yoke ex- tends around in the back and the lower portion of the waist is tucked finely to match the front
 Lingerie Hat of This Summer Time.
 The babyishness which once character ized the lingerie hat is conspicuous by its absence in this years lingerie models. Of course, the lingerie hat for the small tots and growing girls is still seen with its wide ruffied brim and crown encircled with a ribbon sash, but the lingerie hat for the grown-up is made over a wire frame. the same as straw hat, and more often than not, there Is deep binding of silk or satin. This sailor shane with low round crown has white satin binding over which the points of eyelet embroidery are appliqued. and the handeau is trimmed with soft white chiffon satin ribbon loops on the left side and in the back, and a rosette of this ribbon with white lilacs and pink moss roses are set a little to the left side. The bandeau is a trife higher on the left side. lifting the hat to 6 be- coming angle.
 The Parisian C1oche.
 Newer than the mushroom and far smarter than any hat which we have had this season is the cloche, a French model, which Parisiennes have been wearing since early spring. and which is accounted the smartest shape in midsummer styles on this side of the Atlantic. The crown of this cloche or bell shape, as we Americans call it, Is rather high. from four to five inches, and the brim about six inches wide. This slopes away from the crown and Is trifie wider In the back than ir the front It's trimmings vary. but 1t 1, seen at it's best when trimmed with flow. CTS aud foliage or fine grasses. con- bipation of these grasses and mauve- colored China astors trim the illustrated hat of~1ne milan In golden brown shade. The -rasses stand up around the crown and over the brim and are seemingly held in place by the wreath of howes1 which encircles the crown.
