Of the season are very beautiful and
of extreme dainuness; white and yet
again white is the order of the hour,
and the newest linens are wonderfully
supple and at the same time firm in
texture
All of the best linen gowns of the
season are lavishly trimmed with in
sertiOns of lace and with raised en-
broideries. of course there are after
noon gowns Those for morning wear
are more often than not left entirely
plain, the hem of the skirts being ma
chine stitched or done with machine
stitched strappings.
In the case of afternoon gowns made
of white linen il is quite another mat
ter; the most beautiful insertions and
motifs of guipure and filet lace are
cunningly arranged TO form the center
or in some cases the border-for
handsome embroideries and the whole
effect is exceedingly rich.
One of the best known dressmakers
i'm Paris has attempted to introduce
colOred embrOideries on white linen
dresses. Very pretty effects are OBJ
tanned by the introduction of flowers
carried out in art colOrs, especially
when handsome lace motifs are min
2led with the embrOideries, but in the
not summer months one looks for
something cool and fresh and no col
oIed embrOiderieS could ever have
quite the delightful effect of pure white
iuen thread on pure white linen.
There is a very attractive shade of
pale biscuit which is very fashionable
just now for linen frOclls: it might fit
IL he described as cold biscuit" be-
cause il has decided touch Of Irvine
in il. This linen looks wonderful when
inset with ivory white Irlande or gui-
pure and embroidered in self-cOlOTed
threads and in white.
Quite young girls can wear biscuit
cOlored materials with the best effects,
but as the years roll on one finds that
pure white is more becoming. Curious
~ enough. old ladies who possess snow
white hair can venture on bscuit-cOl-
ored gowns without fear; this partiCu
lar shade is dangerous only to the
neither young nor old" women.
\ new gupure that is specially suit
able for linen gowns has rather fine
background and bold flowers in the
ireland style. the CenteTs Of these
flowers are often raised and some
times they are decorated with small
tassels in lunches
The waistcoat has seldom played so
jaunty a part in feminine summer
styles as il is doing this season. For
fail and winter taiIor-mades it crops
up periodically and as a fit adjunct to
a suit TO which il adds comfort as
well as attraction. In such cases it is
often worn as a separate garment
worn or not worn as the whim or the
occasion suits.
Lingerie neck fiXings form a large
part of dress accessories this season.

The dressing. II goes without saying
that usually i'm such cases pins and

hooks for the collar button for just
such uses. The embroidered turnover

of everything else in its department.
No end of lovely embroidered null

with them There was an effort early
i'm the season TO revive the standing
collar but as yet the American wO-
man Will have none of it. The jabOts
are popular among the French fash
ionables at the moment. They are of
the lingerie order, made Of null and
lace.
The much-used scarf has taken on
new guise. This time it is of Un-
lined chiffon taffeta gathered into a
sort Of draped hood at the back and
caught together at the front. The
