when 1t first made its appearance
there and it has retained its popular
ity there ever since. 1t is always
particularly good when used to dec
crate gowns of handkerchief linen.
On the best of the tailored suits
the raised skirt has endured, and
charming linen suits include a skirt
or this type, blouse of linen en-
broidered to match and a long coat
trimmed with black satin. Indeed,
against all former ideals of good
taste. satin or MORE appears upon
almost every one of the linen suits
OF the present season. 1t is fad
which is very becoming. On some OF
the very newest creations the guimps

sheer that the effect is that of de-
colletage. Perhaps this is but one
step more toward the low-necked
gowns of the eighteenth century.
A Paris correspondent observes
that for summer gowns short coats
are full, but for the long coat and
skirt suits the fullness is creeping in
slowly. 4 model that is put forth
as quite new has the front and back
breadth completed by cluster of
rather deep side plaits. These run
up not quite to the knees, and the
side breadths are cut en- fOrme. Some
of the circular skirts show fans of
plaits set in the side seams A much
liked short skirt has the side seams
cut out in teeth over a plated under
part. ana in the case of full figure,
the same idea is carried out in the
back, the yoke then, of course. being
much shorter. These skirts sound
fuller than they really appear; they
are very close about the hips. and in
spite of the dictates of the dress
makers, petticoats are not conspicu-
Gus. Most of the skirts worn under
long coats fall pretty close to the
ankles
Lingerie skirts are supposed en-
tirely to replace colored silk petit
coats. These petticoats show little
lace trimming, for lace is quite out
of date on underclothes, but they
are most expensive items in the
wardrobe just the same. The ruffles
have festooned edges and are adorn-
ed with the finest embroidery done
on drawn work. In shape they fit
perfectly over the hips and there is
little flare above the knees. -.
New frocks, designed for possible
use another season, or very late in
the present season. should have the
girdle at the natural waistline or
very near it. Not that the empire
line in moderation will go out of style
at once, but its popularity is on the
decline and the normal waist line is
not only the newest but also the most
practicable Perhaps the most pop
ular waist line at the present time
dips in front of the natural point and
rises slightly behind.
There is no more charming fabric
for evening gowns than chiffon 1t
is material of tremendous posi-
bilities in the way of draping and
manipulating and in the range of
color in which it is to be had. But
it is quite impracticable for seaside
wear, for one breath of damp salt
air crinkles it up in most Distress
ing fashion. For the girl who is
spending her summer in a high, dry
atmosphere, a dancing and dinner
frock OF chiffon is a good investment.
Although the first outlay may seem
rather large, in reality it is a paying
investment. for chiffon of good
quality gives splendid wear and looks
we'll to the end.
