ana wide. The insertion at the neck
was made to fern the commencement
OF the sleeve, thus abolishing the ne
cesslty of seams there, the effect of
THIS arrangement being both novel and
pleasing. There was no collar the
neck being cut round on the lingerie
blouse. A straw hat with red feath-
ers, and a veil of English lace of frill
design went well with this charming
morning costume, which was compIet-
ed by a sunshade embroidered with
tiny flowers over transparency OF green
silk
Another dress of toile was of a vio-
let red shade, with embroideries of the
same hue arranged to form q band
around the foot of the skirt The same
sort of trimming was used to cover
the seams of the jacket, which was
wide and long, with large Louis XIV
a
ing appearance. From the sleeves fell
double frill of Valleciennes, and a
beautiful frill of the same lace waved
charrningly on the front Of the cor
sage. With this was worn a large
straw hat of peony color, lined with
velvet of the same tone, and trimmed
with bunch of ribbons in front

beauty that one is never tired of ad-
miring them. Let me mention a not
able one in cotton net. 1t was mas
terpiece of its kind. A large band of
embroidered toile relieved 4. the skirt
at the foot, and another similar band
outlined gracefully the form of a tunic

lace, bands of toile initiate the trim

belt OF green taffeta, Empire form,
with long fringe, gave that change of
color with which all we'll dressed wo-
men today like to relieve the white
ness of their summer dresses The
whole was as rich as il was elegant in
appearance.
Delicious also was a dress of that
painted muslin which is one of the lat
est achievements of the artistic manu-
facturer, and which women of taste
manage TO arrange with such "vapory''
and charming results. The muslin was
white, and the flowers upon 1t, plucked
from some enchanted garden. were in
almost every known hue of rose bios
som. Around the foot they were
formed into a kind of soft garland,
outlined on a high band of gray silk
muslin encrusted with lace of the same
hue. One cannot imagine anything
more becoming and more distinguished
than this gray and white relieved by
the rose tints. The crossed corsage
was made entirely Of Malines, painted
and encrusted with white lace. The
sleeves and chemisette were also of
white muslin, and the belt was OF white
Liberty.
Elegance is the prevailing character
istic of the dress worn at the present
time. Could anything be more charm
ing than tunic of tobacco-colo
velvet, with revers Of green taffetas
passing over the shoulders en- bretelIes
and joining the belt behind in long
ends? The skirt is of cloth, and the
corsage of lace. The straw hat
trimmed with feathers. is in accord
with the present fashion, which has a
tendency to rather exaggerated diInen-
sions. Another costume, a style as
simple as 1t is elegant. is of almond
colored cloth. The shortwaisted jack
ct is cut to show panels, which are held
in position by a cross-cut band of
black taffetas. The reveres and the
buttons are also of black taffetas. I'm
der the jacket is a rather longish vest
OF Irish lace. dyed ochre color, which
one notices between the panels men
toned. double cross-cut band of
black taffetas borders the lower part
Of this vest, which finishes in a silk
fringe. The skirt is Circled with in
crustations of Irish lace, an arrange
ment which adds considerably to its
charm.
A most attractive evening dress is of
Orchid-cOlOTed silk muslin. trimmed
with bands Of Liberty satin. and em<
broidered with motifs in relief of the
same color. A band of net lace orna-
ments the foot of the skirt, above an
other of Liberty The shoulders of the
Corsage, which is of net are covered
with mauve drapery The blouse in
side is of Alencon, trimmed In front,
as high as the belt, with a large en-
broidered butterfly.
Our hats, especially those known as
bell shaped" are becoming larger and
larger. One of the happiest creations
Of a famous Partisan milliner is a
bell" of violet color. with a biretta

large roses, and showing two beautiful
feathers. Another feature of the mo-
ment which ought to be noted is that
women are wearing with their freshest
summer toilet hats composed largely
of sombre velvet. For example. with
a dress of white Irish lace one may see,
even in the height of summer heat. a
hat of black satin. or one lined with
royal blue velvet-a color which is in
great favor just now-with a large
knot or bunch of the same velvet SUI
Jerimposed. This is the prevailing
fashion at the present time. Another
example of this style is a straw hat,
with a high crown, dyed in sombre
color. I'm order to contrast with the
complexion. The knot is held in place
by a steel buckle.
The extensive dimensions of this
headWear have produced another inno-
walton. 1t is fat sunshade, made
with the ribs very close together,
which initiates in it's shape what are
called japanese sunshades. Extraor-
binary prices have been paid for hats
this season The vogue of wearing a
hat that costs far more than the dress
to which 1t is the finishing touch is
