Eyelet embroidery will remain II

herents can keep It. OF all the needle

Few strikingley new patterns croI
out in 1t from year to year, for past
eras seem to have exhausted all OF
them that are desirable. Moreover
just now, with the liking for things
quaint, the traditional wheel and
sprig patterns are right in order.
Wolfe Is as popular this season as
It has been for the two seasons past,
and now II is not only the checked
and striped variety, but we see a res
direction of the clan kind. The lat
ter is often made up over figured
lining; so the effect of the plain and
the fancy materials are, in the end
about the same. Both the checked
and striped voiles figure among the
fancy sorts and the colors are of the
unaggressive kind, usually combin-
ing several shades of the one color
of soft tone with white. Occasion
ally one sees a voile with an en-
broidered dot or other design upon
ground Of delicate one-shade or two
shade or striped. The new plain
voiles are finished in beautiful bord-
ers, and these can be made up most
artistically, with panels or folds on
the skirt and with fichu, draed yoke
effect or bolero trimming on the
corsage.

pale blue ribbon scarf. The mush-
room hat of natural cikored straw
has big bow which exactly matches
this scarf. The bow and scarf are
arranged so to be easily taken of
and before this suit goes to the coun.
try for the season there are to be two
other sets, one In black and the 9TH
er In rose color to give variety TO a
costume that is expected to give hard
and long service.
Rubberized pongee is the thing for
smart practical motor and travelling

fine quality silk pongee in natural
color. Inside is a coat of fine rub
ber that makes the material abso-
lutely waterproof. The price is $1.4S
a yard.
The all-white frock is put In the
background somewhat by the ten
dency TO give everything the touch of
color. Some OF the handsomest en-
broidered white gowns are trimmed
with narrow bands of colored linen
which appear on the hens of the
skirts and on the coats. These col.
ored bands are now and then striped
