4 adineS and marquiSetteS. Many OF
of which may have particular mel
ed in - self-colOr, the contrast bein,
ing. Hand embroidered borders dol
among the veilings.
i In the tunic designs the under
skirt and bodice harmonic with a
/ braiding design while the overskirt
is plain.
A pretty dress of cotton voile was
of fine stripes in lavender and white,
with ribbons in deeper shade of Law
4 ender for belt and sleeve trimming.
1 The Empire skirt came well up below
4 the bust and was topped with a shap-
ed girdle of wide ribbons. The front
/ panel was outlined with white pearl
! buttons and cross-wise folds of the
material decorated the side portions
of the skirt and formed the japanese
bands. The front and back of the
| bodice was cut with u yoke and
apparently was continuation of the
skirt panel. The guimpe and under
| sleeves were of tucked white tulle.
Gloves, shoes and parasol were in
white, and white straw hat trim
med with a band of filet lace and a
mass of lavender flowers and green
foliage was in harmony with the rest
of the costume. A short coatee of
| black taffeta was sometimes worn
over this costume.
Mention must be made of the new
cotton foulards. Two varieties are
prominent, one suggesting surah and
a second highly lustrous satin. The
designs are many, stripes being es-
pecially popular just now: these
stripes are obtained in many
ways, stripes alternating with
a stripe of fine dots, stripes of small
colored ground stripes formed by a
fine hair line diagonal of white and
color bars with plain stripes of color
A foulard gown either in the SILK
or cotton variety Is a most service
able addition to any wardrobe, espec-
tally when chosen in a med um color
The color designs most frequently
\ noted are white in combination with
Danish blue, brown and white. white
and black, and green and white and
brown and violet. All the favorite
designs of discs, dots, and ashes are
also to be found in plenty.
A material called voile chinchi-
nette, a crepe-like weave of two col
ors, is very fashionable. So is voile
franchise, which is almost as thin as
muslin.
For the summer girl there is two
distinctly new types of blouses, the
hammock and piazza blouse which
are made from SOM very sheer ma
terial such as net filet lace, both
of which are very inexpensive and
launder well, while they look almost
as well as the more expensive mater
ials of finer but similar material
For really cool dress both in
weight and looks, there are some
white and lavender striped lawns
and by the way violet blouses are
much liked at the present writing
A shirt waist suit in these cool col
ors trimmed with panels of Valen-
ciennes lace bands would be a well
come addition to any summer outfit
And it is said, if tsaspoonful of
turpentine is put into the first water,
that any violet colored goods is wash
ed in, the goods will not spot or fade
out in those disagreeable patches so
trying to the owner of pretty waist.
All varieties of the jumper waist
are seen daily. The salient features
of this well-liked mode should be the
exact harmony between the front and
back. If there is front panel to the
, skirt a panel effect is sought for in
the back; and the back of the bodice
is the counterpart of the front bodice
and, apart from the wearer, it is hard
to say which is back and which is
front. Again the jumper suit de-
pends upon the guimpe for its dressy
appearance, for as the yoke is low
the collar and front and back of the
underblouse or guimpe are fully eX-
posed to view. The sleeves are beau
tifully trimmed and they are by no
: means the least important part of the
costume.
There are many wa'tnable silks
shown this summer and many of the
new piazza waists are trimmed with
them in bands, pipIngs and folds.
One waist was developed from wash
able net, having yoke of lace braid
upon which were applied bands of
silk. In all cases these waists have
under Innings of this silk in self
color oil some faint contrasting shade.
One of the smart fads Of the sea-
son is the use of lace buttons. The
lace Is lined with color; and the
buttons, underlaid with some tint to
match the gown, are used upon some
of the most fashionable gowns of the
season.
A very fine quality of serge, almost
chiffon weight, is much liked for
summer travelling dresses, and no
color Is more popular than a rather
dark shade of blue. waistcoat of
white pongee or one of those fetch
ing creto tonnes vests will give the
! suit an air of smartness and dis
tinction.
Pongees grow more beautiful and
never were they so rich in quality
and so exquisite in texture and color.
Many of the pongees are expensive
as satin and are to be found as soft
as henrietta.
The long flowing veil is no longer
