A Swell One at the Races.

An afternoon costume intended for
the races, was of striped lavendar
mousseline over white Innings. Ele-
ven cores were used to develope the
skirt, which fits smoothly at the top
1aring sharply below and the lower
edge measures four yards and three
quarters in the medium skies. Two
straight bands of embroidered silk
in darker almost purple shade de-
corate the bottom of the skirt. The
oyerblouse was distinctly stylish with
the seam on the shoulder left open
for a short distance showing the
lingerine blouse sleeves beneath The
right front laps over the left The
jumper is attached to the wide belt,
a band of the darker embroidered
silk decorate all edges and forms
the belt Three large silver buttons
fasten the fronts.
White lace gloves, a parasol of the
purple shade, lace covered and a
white hat decorated with a purple
and white violets, and puffs of white
tull coplete the costume. White kid
shoes and stockings are an accom-
paniment.
This last design is one that could
be employed in many fabrics of wool,
wolfe, serge, mohair; in cottons, as
pique, repp cloth, yamagatha; or it
may be most effectively used for all
the silks and a costume of taffeta in
dark blue, or a rajah and brown
would be very serviceable during the
early autumn, and their trimmings
could be cut from embroidered goods,
bands of panne velvet, Persian bands,
ETC., and with umbrella, hat, gloves,
and other accessories in keeping and
harmonizing a most useful and modish
costume would be at hand for all
but the most ceremonious occasions.

combinations of linen o

other combinations of linen or
wool
1t is not n white alone that the lin
en- suit is seen, for linens in 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 particular
ly handsome for trimmings.
Several afternoon costumes that
especially took my fancy must be
given you. One was of a soft shade
of pink neither too bright or too
light in tone to loose its pretty effect
of trimming and style. The material
was louisine made up over satin
lining for some of these soft goods
are much more effective when made
up over a satin lining than the sitter
silks, and it is always we'll before
buying the lining for a dress to study
its effects together for a fine finish
may be wholly lost by putting in a
wrong style of Iining-and this has
nothing to do with the price either.
A smart and graceful flare was
given to the skirt by means of the
peculiar cut of the nine cores, while
the top has d smooth adjust ent
over thu hips a requisite of all we'll
fitting skirts.
The open V front of the waist,
which is modification of the sur
plice is finished with embroidered
bands that form plastron below the
bust-line. Lace may be used to form
the chemisette, collar and cuffs. The
peculiar beauty of this costume lies
in the shirred shoulders which gives
just the required fullness to the
front. The sleeves are shirred at
the inside seams. The chemissette
and the collar close in the back, the
former fastening to the lining at the
back.
