was impressed by the importance of

A particularly fetching morning
coat suit constructed of brown rajah
was seen the first morning after
my arrival The coat was made
after the Chesterfield" model, so
called because of certain folds in
troduced at the side seams. It is
also semi-ftting model, a style
much favored just now as it is eN-
ceedingly cool and pretty for summer
| days. a dart in each front extends
from the shoulder and terminates
above the bust, and a small pocket
| is inserted in the left side, and there
are pockets below, lap-covered. A
notched shawl collar in white linen
stitched la brown and straight cuffs
are a stylish addition, while large
white pearl buttons complete the
coat The skirt is of a most excel
lent style, both for silks or sheer
materials, it is a design also that is
well adapted for the woman who is
plump about the hips as the plaits
are stitched for considerable depth,
producing a fitted effect at the top,
and a full skirt below measuring
almost six yards at the lower edge.
Just one little word Of warning must
be spoken, that the very short woman
have none too much fullness at the
bottom of the skirts. With this
costume was worn a hat of milan
straw, dented to suit the wearer's
face and trimmed with green lunches
and loops of brown ribbon. Brown
shoes and stockings, and gloves in
brown lace, and cream white UNI
| brella finished the outfit.
Another pretty costume worn by a
very young woman was of linen in
creamy almost bum shade trimmed
with bands of white French en-
broidery. The skirt was seveL-g -gored
and plated, a box-plait at the center
of the front and one at each side,
with side plaits between. The skirt
attains a measurement of five yards

with hooks and eyes and decorated
with two rows of enamelled buttons
showing irdescent tints. A finely
embroidered collar and cuffs of white
handkerchief linen gives an immacu-

the design of which could be used
in many other combinations of linen
or wool.
It is not in white alone that the
! linen suit is seen, for linens il many
shades are used, and linens almost
as soft as silk are to be found in
many designs, checks, blocks
stripes and with borders that are
particularly handsome for trimmings.
