Its strongest claim to consideration:

1t is properly made and fitted and that
argument again may constitute It's
firmest hold upon the regard of women.
Guimpes for the rail- and winter costumes

In mind that the lines OF all Jumper suits
must be direct and snug. not to say
shcath-like. The kimono effects in the
blouse and In the suggestion of a sleeve
are quite out OF the reckoning now in
any meditation or costume OF the
Jumper sort The heavier linens, so pop
ular for these suits this summer. lend
themselves admirably to the compact"
effect of Its newer editions
The return of pique to favor is OF mo-
mentary interest, and indeed its STAY
coming at the mid-season may be pro-
iongcd tina; for several summers 1t will
enjoy the vogue once accorded 1t season
IN and season out. The quality just now
most sought Is OF very soft finished
rib, what is known as French. When
coat and skirt are worn of pique. with
n muslin blouse, there may and often
does appear, a waistcoat Of "A pal ecolor.
The same color that shows in this waist
coat Is carried out In tho wings or rib
bon. chosen to ornament the white hat.
II white shoes are worn, the waistcoat
color repeats itself in the stockings. or.
In place of the waistcoat there NAV be n
wide loosely knotted sash OF silk or rib
bon. and the color of this sash NAV re-
appear In hat adornments and in the
stockings
Mentioning sashes one usually ana nat,,-
rally turns to scarfs And every day
these appointments for the neck continue
TO Increase In number and in the STYLES
OF material they represent. Just now ono
In high favor is of artistically printed silk
gauze OF so filmy and Rossamcr n charnc-
ter the whole affair can be fola ed up into
the most minute compass. Lot out. to It's
fullest extent this latest thing In scarfs
can become n light wrap to shield its
uearer from treachcrous night chllIs.
For time foulards ore enjoying great
favor. Fouard is the coolest Of all the
silks and for present styles in skirts and
blouses 1t Is admirably adapted The
coiors most sought are the dark puppies
or lavenders, blues. greens and occasion
ally thu reds. Mostly small patterns COW
CT them. and the polka dot that has run
riot furiously one may say in the foulards
IS conspicuous by It's scarcity. It Is seen
occasionally of course, for 1t Is Il con-
ventional thing that is never quite for
gotten in dress fabrics. If there Is any
trimming at the bottom Of these foulard
skirts 1t Is fiat. A band or two of the silk
itself, or plain silk of a corresponding
or contrasting color is used. and then
this silk is used In the bands for the
bodice and In the wide. high-backed
girdle. One foulard frock. carrying out
this specification. was of very dark plum
color with a tiny thread of white form
ing an all-over figure for II. Around
the bottom of the skirt were three mar
row bands of very pale green silk. The
wide. high sash was Of the green. while
green buttons adorned the bodice. 1t
will not do TO be careless in contrasting
the colors meant for repetition of this
frock. There must be Just the right
plum color and just the right green or
the affair will turn out a grev!ous offense
against yOod taste While foulnrd does
not adapt itself happily to the usual skirt
and-coat costume, some very engaging
little sleeveless coats have beech made of
II that seem a most desirable scheme for
Its use. And a sleeveless coat is usually
and very properly colarless one.
Stories are told. and some of them seem
good enough to be true, OF the fashion
ing of the Eton Jacket or bolero coat
of a season or two ago into blouse
that hints of the jumper. and in this
way, securing a quite fashionable frock
IN the "made-over'', way. Given deft
dressmaker. n professional or amateur,
and a bolero and gIrdle OF suitable
proportions II seems that the transfer
nation might be effected.
For seaside wear there Is suggested the
milk maid bonnet" that Is strongly re-
miniscent of the sunbonnet. Carried out
In white linen. the sharpely brim Just
slightly stiffcned, tied round by broad
taffeta ribbon in a color becoming to the
wearer, this new bonnet for country
wear Is also suggestive Of the Dutch
honnets. pretty woman looks very
pretty when her face Is framed by 1t,
too.
