NE of the most striking features

/the decorative over bodice, which
Is to be seen on most OF the fancy
waists which are to be worn in the
afternoons with elaborate coat suits or
for informal evening occasions. These
bodices hardly deserve the name in all
cases. as they are sometimes little more
than elaborated suspenders. Again,
they are notifications of the boIero, the
spencer. or the fchu., as they present
a variety of designs brought about by
the combination OF suspenders and wide
belt, or suspenders. bertha and wide
belt, or bolero and suspenders. In fact,

india silk and pongee gowns are i'm

while the luster of liberty satin bands
on an embroidered or lace gown or
even on plain chiffon is remarkably
good. These bands are on the bias and
must not be doubled, but left in the
single fold. and are in graduated widths
when put on around the skirt. When
put on in horizonal lines they are so
arranged as to be much narrower at
the waist than at the foot of the skirt.
seivet ribbon bands are still to be
noticed, but just at present the satin
folds are considered smarter.
The fashion so popular this summer
OF the silk coat or wrap is most prac-
tical one, now that it is considered es-
sential to have gowns made as thin and
transparent as possible. for with the
transparent yoke and sleeves there is
sufficient warmth to the gown except-
Ing IN excessively hot weather; conse-
quentiy the little wrap proves of the
greatest service, as it affords all the
protection needed and at the same time
gives a most charming finish to the
