DAINTY. dazzling, delicious, such are he creations which Dame Fashion has introduced for the summer of 1909, and women are not waiting for sumner zephyrs to replace the chill of north ern spring ere they don the charming costumes.
 To accommodate the clinging, slinky, foppy styles now in vogue, materials are all Of a kind calculated to fall in soft folds and drape in folds known as classic" and which are purely Partisan, and as much superior to classic folds as the smart Paris gown Is to the cum bersome toga.
 Suitable, alike, for spring and sum mer, are the new soft silks and satlns, . thin wool veilings and bewitching soft linens. while an array of diaphanous materials offer infinite variety in de- sign and color to the woman who would be well dressed.
 Sheer white embroidered robes are aeatures of this and the coming season and these are distinguished for the deli cacy and exquisite workmanship Of the embroidery. This. in the better class of machine-made embroidery, rivals hand work in beauty, and only an adept or the person who paid the bills could tell the difference between them. Figure A illustrates an admirable de- sign in the latest mode for our warm season. It is gown that may be made up in a wide variety of materials, from cloth to chiffon, or linen to null A gorgeous dinner gown could be created by making the guimpe and stock; the Gull drawn puff across the front between the Empire band and sash, and the sleeves of silver tissue with a gown ot hin blue satin; or of gold tissue with any kind of black evening material. In ,the first case the Empire bolero with its short upper sleeves; the sash, cuffs, edge of overskirt and bottom of skirt wouih 1e embroidered or braided in silver n the next instance the black gown would be embroidered in gold. . To make an afternoon gown of this model use soft silk or satin, and work an elaborate pattern of hand embroidery for soutache braid over the broad Elm pire sash, the cuffs and the upper part of the bodice, which is formed some what on the bolero order in regard to brevity. and which serves to support the skirt by means of two broad, em- oroidered straps which are buttoned to the top of the sash Of course the strap IS usually sewed firmly to the sash, but if is quite possible to fasten 1t on the button and with a concealed hook and eve in each corner This would permit one to wear a sheer blouse on a warm day. without the embroidered covering.
 The overskirt is looped in upward folds on each side and is embroidered 70 harmonize with the design used upon the bodice This begins in tiny seal lop high up the front of the overskirt and increases in the size of scallops to- wards the bottom Buttons or button effects are set in each scallop. Usually these are of raised embroidery, begin ming with a mere dot and growing to quite large disc lower down on the overskirt.
 Upon the skirt is repeated another farmonizing embroidery or braid design that extends around the bottom on and above the hem and struggles up charm ingly into an irregular point upon the front of the skirt
 The bottom of the skirt lies on the floor in full, hoppy folds all around and has a slight trail in the back.
 Between the embroidered bolero sleeve and cuff is plain sleeve, fitted and buttoned down the outer side. This may be of the dress material or of the sheer fabric used for the collar and front of the gown.
 When built of thin white or lowered summer cotton fabrics the embelished portions of the gown may be cut out ] of all-over embroidery or lace and sup
