With these rose crowns the only other
trimming is a length of handsome ribbon

crowns of ecru point d'esprit are charming
on Tuscan hats, especially when allied with

Another White Season.
White is going to be more worn than ever
this summer. which is distressing news for
those of us without a special laundress.
There is no doubt about the beauty and
becomingness of the all-white costume, but
1t is the most extravagant piece of sarto-
rialism can indulge in. By having her
thoughts constantly on the well-being of a
white muslin frock a dainty woman may
be able to wear it twice but once is the
usual limit And the ruffles. tucks and fur
bellows on the wash gowns make sitting
down art unless one is reckless of her
finery But if fashion has decreed fall
white season there will be many an ach-
ing bone under the fine frocks. for the aver
age laundresS cannot be trusted with these
dresses. and madame. unless possessed of
fabulous wealth. must needs be her own
blanchisSeuSe. To be sure. there are linen
suits that stand a reasonable amount of
wear. but they. too. have to be pressed into
service, While speaking of linen frocks
must tell you about one of the latest wrin-

fairs so fashionable this season. Such a
suit will always look well while there is a
piece of it in existence.

no suit is more desirable than a cream
serge. The ivory tone is very good and
does not gather dust easily as the pure
white. There are not many models in this
costume from which to choose. The tried

hips. and a loose half-itting coat with

The Blouse Still Popular.
Blouse suits are in high favor, and a half
dozen of these frocks in any of the attract

mer wardrobe wonderfully. Such a frock
is infinitely more serviceable than jumper
