The little dress accessories Of embroidered
lingerie stun, linen and lace are legion this
summer and many Of them are very lovely,
furnishing TO the home made frock the
needed touch Of d~aintiness Of which the
home dressmaker 10 incapable and making
transformations Of costume possible with
a basis Of but n foundation frock. But
alas, the prcttiost of these little things are,
Is a rule, 10 expensive that one might al
most have two frocks for the sum to which
that added touch of ready made daintiness
brings the cost Of the frock.
Hand embroidery and good laces are
always expensive, and these are the first
principles Of fine lingerie and linen novelties,
but many a woman considers the money
well spent when a handsome collar or
guimpe will give her whole costume an air.
The mania for jumper frocks has nat
uraliy brought about an effort to supply
xuimpes to suit all tastes and purses, and
while great numbers Of cheap and coarse
guimpes are on the market it is now quite
possible to buy really fine and lovely
guimpes which have yoke and sleeves at
tached to a thin muslin waist and couse-
quently fit well and keep in place.
The jumper bodice, supposedly for wear
over any thin lineire or lace blouse, does
not usually look 30 we'll over the ordinary
lingerie b.ouse rs over sleeves and yoke
especially designed for such use, and it is
a comfortable thing to be able 70 buy an
attractive guimpe ready made and needing
little il any alteration. Net and lace, val
enciennes and cluny or Irish, lingerie ma
terial hand embroidered and lace trimmed
are the chosen materials.
OF separate guimpes and yokes there is q
plentiful supply, and whether one wants a
plain, well shaped yoke Of baby Irish or
cluny, a simple yoke of hand embroidered
linon or batiste, or a complicated and elab-
crate combination Of lace, embroidery,
tucking, &C., one has but to look about in
order to find what will answer the purpose.
These guimpes are in various shapes and
depths, and many Of them are finished at
the bottom so that they may be used as
yokes set on the outside of the blouse if one
prefers to apply them in hat fashion.
Collars Of all kinds are lovelier than
sver before. OF the high turn down linen
collars, hand embroidered. we have had
much to say before now. Their vogue
endures, but the smarter models incline
more and more to openwork effects pro-
duced by English openwork embroidery,
inset lace, &c, and collars having the turn
over part entirely Of real baby Irish are
much fancied by the fashionable contingent.
Collar and cut coat sets repeat the ideas
exploited in the blouse collars and are
embellished with hand embroidery and
often with small motifs OF cluny or real
Irish crochet. Collars and cuffs OF colored
linen embroidered in white or in a deeper
ahade of the foundation color are smart
on some frocks. and sets in white linen
embroidered la color look well upon coats
Of the same color as the embroidery.
White or ecru linen embroidered in the
clear browns are remarkably effective,
and when the brown is OF a somewhat light
saddle color are worn with coat suits OF
many colors other than brown.
Brown shoes, belt. bag. collar embroidery.
scarf or cravat. hat and parasol look ex-
tremely well with either blue or green
and are good hen worn with a white serge
or other all white costume. The turn
down embroidered collars for wear with
blouses echo this fancy for colored en-
broidery, and delightful little sets are shown,
including a collar buttonholed in color
and embroidered in colored dots and a
nat little double cravat or rabat Of the same
linen buttonholed around the edges with
the color and embroidered in dots to match
the collar. These are shown in Danish
blue, browns. black and rose embroidery
and consort well with linen frocks in the
color OF the embroidery.
Aside from the regulation coat collars
there are more p%retentious and original

like shoulder draperies Of embroidered
and lace trimmed null or batiste mark
the vogue Of the v shaped blouse cut and
the broad shoulders. Some most attrac-
tive little sleeveless boleros with such
shoulder drapery, all in lace and en-
broidered batiste or linen. are among the
new things. and there are fiat collarlike
embroidered pieces. broad on the shoulder
and narrowing to points front and back,

Handsomely embroidered collars cut

bodices slightly open in ron or cut in a
very deep v, as are so many Of the jumper
bodices.
Little skeleton waistcoats OF pique or
linen, plain or embroidered. white or col
ored, have the regulation waistcoat fronts
and merely straps etween the armholes
in the bach and at the waistline in the back.
These give q very fresh and smart air to
the plain tailor coat and skirt costume,
as do the w~aistcoats of toile de Jouys or
cheaper but effective cretonne which,
however, nave been shown by only n or
two importers, though they have been
considerably worn in Paris.
When one comes to the subject Of the
innumerabIe little coats OF lace or lingerie

so complex are the designs Of a majority
OF the models that descriptions seem use
