THE LATEST FASHION IDEAS, .

|
more attention is being paid to ling
erie than ever before. There are fash
ions in this just as much as in dresses.
Handmade lingerie is very lovely, II
one has the time to spend on it. Main
SOCK IS used as much as any material
for underwear and valenciennes and
beading are very attractive trimmings.
Handkerchief linen and sheer batistes
are those used next. Most Of the
nightgowns are made with no fasten-
ings, but slip over the head. The
yokes are square or round with fine
lace as finish. The V neck is usually
unbecoming unless it is very wide. The
sleeves are made elboy-length and
full. Beautiful arc the petticoats made
OF nainsook and trimmed with inser-
ton and lace and beading. Some of
them have very deep fiounces reach
ing almost to the hips.
Lavender Is the Smart Shade.
The smartest shade just at present
Is lavender. One must have a lavender
| outfit whether or not the color is be-
coming. Where it is becoming 1t GER
| ta1nly makes charming picture. Vio-
| let Is a favorite color in millinery. A
Vlolet-coiored straw wreathed with
violets and draped with a violet veil
was a beautiful hat worn the other
day Another hat of purple straw in
the eighteenth century style was
trimmed with huge feathers,

null dimity, batiste, organdy or swiss.
Dlmlty is particularly cool and fresh
looking for simple frock, and very
dainty flower patterns are shown in
this material. Dotted swiss in white
or some delicate color is very popular
for lingerie gowns.
Growing Popularity Of Nets.
There Is a decided craze for nets, of
Doth fine and coarse meshes. Some
times the net is heavily embroidered
with metallic threads, and worn over
SOLID color. Again it is worn over
noWered or striped silks or satins. At
recent fashionable gathering a gown
OF yellow net was worn, shot with gold
threads and deliberately embroidered in
gold in wheat design. This was worn
over lustrous yellow satin.
Summer wraps have an important
part in the fashion of the season
Made in long loose lines is the most
pleasing style, when worn over even
ing gowns. They are seldom trimmed
with anything except straps of the ma
terial and satin collar and cuffs. A
long rajah coat is just the thing for q
woman who travels daily on the train.
This should cover every inch of he,
gown and would be a most seryiceab,e
garment to possess.
Dream of a Linen Gown,
AT garden party last week wa.
seen dainty linen gown in shell mini
embroidered In thistles. The skirt wa,
fashioned in fan-plaited panels, far
ing at the hem, where the embroidery
reached the edge and then wandered
up the plaits. The coatee was barely
long enough to hide the belt, and was
finished at the bottom with embroid-
cred slashes. A pretty waistcoat was
of solid embroidery.
All Paris gowns show a great va
rlety in sleeves. The short sleeve is
still very popular and the American
women care little about giving it up
TOT their hot weather gowns. MANY of
the smartest frocks are appearing with
the long mitten cuffs attached TO the
sleeve at the elbow. These are made
OF the sheerest laces and embroideris.
The graceful kimono sleeve is the
most evidenced in all sleeve designs,
but the small armhole with the tight
hitting sleeves is seen on some import
ed gowns.
Striking Effects in Trimmings.
There are skirts to a gown of trans
parent material, where the lining is
trimmed instead of the overdress. A
particularly striking one of this fash
ION was made over a white silk lining
which was trimmed with three bands
OF oriental silk. These bands were
from two and a half to four inches
wide, and the broadcast one was put on
between the others. The slip on packet
which was worn with this gown had
touches of oriental silk on the collar
and cuffs.
A Return to High Collars.
Some Of the most modtsh gowns are
seen with ridiculously high collars.
They fit snugly to the throat and up
behind the ears even to the roots of the
hair. The very high stocks are made
in two parts, the lower and narrower
section being fastened to the neckband,
which carries the ornamentation.
These high stocks require skillful bon
ing to make them At perfectly.
A novel little Algerian bolero. which
may be worn over lace dresses, is made
OF four silk handkerehiefs. These are
connected in the back and on the
shoulders with passementerie, and a
large macaroon Of the same trimming
