II you can get the border so much the
better. but IL you have TO cut the collar

and buttonholing with thread to match.
The cravats that are made OF II are
stiff and severe. The material doesn't
lend Itself TO a jabot or a frill. II looks
best in a straight-out butterfly bow or

Girls to whom a straight-out bow is
not becoming are using soft cotton print
and making one small loop UP and two
pointed ends down. with a fold between.
These are fastened We'll down at the

For Hotel Wear.
The woman staying at hotel will need
numerous evening dresses. for IL is then
that women appear in their show!est cos
tunes at the dinner hour. One must use
considerable judgment about the selec-
ton of such garments. not going to the
extreme in a style. But considerable lib
erty is permitted. and one can select any
preferred color and have the dress rather
elaborate. 1t is even considered good
form for the children in the party to APP
pear somewhat picturesquely gowned. A
dress of white Paris muslin over white
silk would be attractive. The lace trim
ming should consist of a deep transparent
yoke. lace sleeve caps. lace panel and
deep lace flounce This will appear rich
over the silk With white can be worn
diamonds. rubies and red roses or tur-
quoise ornaments and jewels. The tur-
Quoise shades are attractive to the blond.
brunette OF even somewhat advanced
years will remember the softening effect
of pale yellow. and only too well all know
the effect of deep cream chiffon or even
yellow chiffon. But the woman Of hotel
life realizes that pastel colors and stun
ming effects are sometimes more impor-
tant than the richest of materials. The
white lace gown ranks first after which
come crepe de chimes. neat little Jumper
suits, lingerie dresses of white or those
adorable little affairs OF fine lawn. swiss
and organdie with a profusion of lace
trimming.
New Made Suits.
There is very marked change in the
short -skirted suits worn on the street.
The plated skirt, not being smart In
the new materials. has given way to such
a different style that it carries a new
kind Of coat with II.
One Of the best of these skirts has three
small fiat side plaits in groups to the
knees, where there is a wide tunic fold
that runs to extra sharp points back and
front. The hem is about three inches
deep and is invisibly stitched
The coat is therefore short-waisted In
the back rather long-waisted in front
and has variegated waistcoat. 1t falls
below the hips and is not slashed at the
sides. This is a trick of which we have
grown very tired.
There is an inverted plat instead. and
1t is pressed by a hot iron into place.
Many of the coats retain the three but
tons above these plaits that have been on
all the cheaper suits since the spring
opened, but others prefer the embroidered
crows foot.
The sleeve fits into the shoulder. with
little fullness and does not rise a frac.
ton above the shoulder line but there
is a sharp outward jutting at the elbow.
which shows the trail OF the oriental
sleeve.
After this tangent. it goes back into the
conservative channel and fits the arm
rather snugly down to the wrist. The
revers are long and narrow and are
made in one with the collar. Some OF
them run to the waist line, shaping on
to mere thread.
