This Is shown as the Gabrielle prin-
cess effect, and may be worn over any
slip. Generally the belts are extreme

lace. often raised little In the back
TO give the Empire lines. The regular
tight fitting princess style is also
seen but, after all, the two piece
dress is probably more used than any
thing. especially as sashes OF soft
ribbon are quite as much a feature OF
the new summer gowns as are the
little pleated frills of fine lace and
skirts of deep houncing.
Sleeves are short. either just above
or below the elbow. as Is most becom-
Ing, but the long shoulder seam is
usually in evidence. Collars are quite
high, especially at the back OF the
ears, from which there Is slight slope

trimmings.
A commencement gown may be worn
either over silk or u lawn slip. The
former Is generally closely fitting
princess slip of liberty or some other
thin silk Lawn, however, especially
IL daintily trimmed, really gives a
gown a much more f1lmy and sum-

ever to utilize petticoat, but spe-

most of the elaborate lingerie gowns
are made to train. many of the young
girls commencement gowns just touch.
Very simple and girlish are the
pretty models sent us from Paris this

The first model is of soft null.

and the fine lace pleatings. which are
now so much the rage. The double

added pieces to give an extended
shoulder effect, is particularly becom.

the next gown OF dotted swiss, tim

telle effect shown. A soft sash OF lib.

falling to the hem Of the dress.
A new idea, and very girlish and
pretty 1t is. is shown in the last
little frock of soft, creamy batiste
which is marked by its absolute sim.
plicity. Broad bands of swiss inser.

ciennes lace are crossed in front and
carried around the waist, giving an
Empire effect in the back. The blouse
Is merely a plain, somewhat full
Gretchen waist, with two horizontal
tucks beneath the crossed bands, and
the skirt is straight and full, with its
only trimming six overlapping two
and half inch tucks.
Charming models in hats are shown
for little girls in the cloche shape so
much in favor for her big sister. Very
lovely they are, trimmed with quaint
punches OF field flowers of soft louis
blue.
Little capes which can hardly be
distinguished from a bolero at first
sight are much in favor, and are
smart made in white cloth.
Tulle combined with lace is popu.
lar for the yoke and sleeves of the
silk voile gown. Liberty satin also
trims these frocks; n favorite method
Is to have a broad band OF 1t around
the bottom OF the skirt.
