THE LAFAYETTE.

the Lafayette Players do not aspire TO
the magnificence of detail that mark

many of those who witnessed Sun

The Hanlons have once more dem
onstrated their resourcefulness by
adding several new and surprising
features, notable among which Is
Coco's pursuit of the elusive coQuettes
in Knickerbocker hall. Fred Hanlon,

A sprightly ballet and number OF
refined specialties contribute to the
success of the production, and In this

The Summer Fashions.

Grace Margaret Gould, the

Home Compaaion for May:
There are two distinct types
of dress for this summer. both
emphasizing the straight up and
down effect. One is the tailored
coat suit showing In many in
stances a cutaway coat, which
gives the hipless effect. and a
skirt comparatively narrow at
the bOttOm-that is. it il made
without the sudden fare that
the tailored skirt used to have.
The other type of dress is the
cut in one gown, and great will
be Its favor throughout the sum-
mer. In the form of the new
princess jumper this cut in one
dress Is a most practical gown to
own. 1t can fasten in the front
quite as easily as the back, and
it is model equally good for silk
or linen.
"This style dress is always cut
out at the neck, and is gener-
ally sleeveless, to show the
gulmpe, or trimmed just suffic-
ientl, over the shoulders to give

Or 1t may be made, as a mum Der

nalse cut out at the neck, but
having a sleeve which is cut in
one with the bodice.
"Now, of course. there are
many varieties of these two basic
ideas in dress, but whatever the
fashionable model is this summer,
it is sure to be simple in design,
lacking entirely any exaggsra-
tion in form.
perhaps this idea is better
shown i'll the sleeve ,han any
where else, which has diminished
in a pronounced way in size
within the past six months, and
