PRETTIEST MUSLIN GOWNS
COVERED WITH FOOTING
AND SHORT SLEEVES

Some of the prettiest muslin gowns
made for young girls at this period Of
the year when they are needing fresh
ones for vacation or visits are covered
with footing.
The idea Is exceedingly pretty and is
an exact return to gowns two decades
age. Nainsook or any soft, fine fabric
like null and cotton chiffon is used.
One of the best Of these frOcks has a
long skirt run with bands Of tucking
between bands of footing. The hem
IS trimmed with deep Iufhes of muslin
edged with two ruffies OF footing.
The blouse is a mass Of thread tucks
and arranged to meet In points in CEN
ter, back and front. To Offset so eX-
treme a pC inted effect there is a square
Dutch neck made Of Valenciennes lace
and a high. round empire belt of apple
green liberty satin finished with loops
and ends at back.
The sleeves are halfway to elbow,
made Of the lace. hanging straight from
the shoulder. finished with an under ruff

GOWNS OF TULLE.

Some Of the midsummer hats made
to finish out the season have large
crowns built into puffs made Of double
tulle. The coarse weave is used with a
silky finish.
The briufs are not very broad, and
are made of horsehair or very fine chip
A few are OF satin. a style which has
not quite gone out despite the fact that
It was so immensely popular last year
These hats are quite simple, and have
little trimming. Usually there is a
folded scarf Of liberty satin cut OH the
bias at the base Of the crown.
il is tied into a small fiat bow, with
equal loops, and ends at front or side
A cut jet bowknOt or other kind OF or
narent in jet Is used 10 finish off the
center of the bow.
Such hat is not costly, and It serves
far more dutifully for all OCCASIONS
than one expects Of so perisha5le a
fabric as tulle.

HAMMOCKS STILL POPULAR

are those made with Stats and furnish
ed with quite a thick mattress, which
hang straight from the ceiling others
made Of barrel slaves are good and far
less expensive. The old-fashioned ham
mock OF mesh is the least expensive
and is. on the whole, lasting and very
satisfactory.
Some folks have made covers of linen
for old hammocks. and a few artistic
ones have decorated the valance with

Effective With White.

This stock is especially effective with
an all-whlte suit, ana carries out the
color scheme if there are black pumps
and stockings and a white hat trimmed
with black satin.
1t is quite the fashion to finish the
center Of the still little bows worn in
front Of stock with a motif Of heavy
lace. These can easily be picked up 10y
the half dozens at sales.
Another pretty idea in neekwoar is
a large bow Of messaline made with
equal loops and ends finished with a
heavy silk cord to match at all edges.
Can Be Made at Home
These sell in some shops for $3.50, but
II a girl has a bit OF messaline in the
house she can make one for the price Of
the cord.
They are worn at the base Of the
stock as well as with the thin turn
over collar which is taking the place
of the thick linen turnover.
SIN another idea in furnishing up the
neck is to wear a tiny band CT black
velvet or any color you prefer around

The Belasco.

A long-cherfshed ambition is said to
have been fulfilled in the opportunity
given Miss Charlotte Walker to present,
and for the first time in this city. Cosmo
Gordon Lennox's sparkling comedy. "The
Freedom of Suzanne" at the Belasco
Theater last night. This delightful play,
replete with clever dialogue and anus
ing situations. it is claimed, had q
years successful run in London. and two
years later was made a New York sue
cess, after vain efforts had been made
to secure it for Miss Walker. It's ex-
cellence was well attested before it's
presentation here. Its presentation last
night by Miss Walker and her splendid
company was entirely satisfactory
The plot. which has already been pub
lished. deals with young wife whose
very innocence makes her feel that what
ever she does Is right. even though her
good mOther-1n-law may doubt it, The
fact that the doting husband is in
clined to side with his mother furnishes,
In the young wifes mind. ample reason
why she should long for a freedom that
later she Is glad to reject.

Marie Tempest may have been in the
