sons in Paris must be laid aside in favor
of unlined frocks in lingerie style, and

have been added raffia slippers.
These new bath-or boudoir slippers, are
very comfortable and are cooler and

women. The rama network fits over the

Moyenne frocks that the ladies Of her
court Cancelled their orders to Paris and
are eschewing Partisan styles until q
more circumspect era sets In. There are
many compromises, however. with the
tubelike costumes grit in around the
knees and worn over ShOckingly low
busted corsets, which one sees now in
each the product of an authoritative Gre

The linen frock with Irish crochet is
striking example Of the favor in
which this heavy lace Is held just now.
This costume is of very fine handker-
chief lawn. the lace forming the YOKE
and sleeves and tunic effect on the
skirt. Madeira embroidery combined
form charming pattern on the linen,
and. though the belt line is set just
under the bust. the lines of this frock
are the fiat, hipless lines of the Moyen-
age mode rather than the short-waisted
effect Of the empire model.

is another frock which shows the hiGn

waist and hip The flounce on this
frock is attached to a deep yoke-the

simple effect, val and imitation Irish
insertions being combined in very
dainty effect. At the back is sash Of

even pieces of well-done beef to gnaw on.
In this way the formation of good. square

can be allowed to come In.
Every medical man and, indeed, every
mother Of family who has wa ched chill
dren in recent years, must have noticed
the increasing narrowness of childish
jaws, and any dental surgeon can bear
out the fact that nowadays an alarming
and increasing number of small children
are forced to have one or more teeth
drawn because their jaws are unable TO
accommodate the same number of molars
which their grandmothers and grand
fathers found room and use for.

A very handsome Moyen-age frock OF
all-over embroidery and soft batiste is
shown on the figure mounting the
stairs. In this frock the contrast De-
tween the heavy open-work embroid-
cry and the almost fiimsy ground ma
terial of the costume gives great dis
tinction Of style. The hip yoke and long
panel at the front are of the embroid-
elsewhere in insertion and Vandyks
effect. fine val lace emphasizing the
handsome pattern of the needleworh.
This frock is quite long, the little frou-
frou fiounce at the bottom trailing
slightly on the floor as the wearer
walks, but the model would be equally
pretty in shorter length. With this
frock is worn one of the new lingerie
hats built over straw. The embroidery
in this instance Is the Richelieu work,
which initiates Italian lace and Is very
open and lacy in design. A puffed
crown is built over the straw crown Of
the hat and the deep frill hangs over
the straw brim, this brim being faced
with satin of the same shade as tho
ribbon trimming.
The lace tunic coat Is a feature Of
summer dressy wear much seen at

tons. These coats are usually built
without sleeves and are slipped on over
frocks complete in themselves and usu-
ally with some trimming feature which
blends with the coat. The lace coat
Is a wrap of special distinction and
elegance, and the really smart woman
never wears such a garment except on
occasions when the rest of the costume
is in keeping. The beautiful tunic coat
shown is of coffee-colored lace bound
with satin of the same shade, and
hangs over frock of natural pongee
trimmed with lace matching the coat.
The hat is of shirred cream tulle, with
deep cream frill underneath and coral
pink flower at one side matched by the
coral pattern on the pongee parasol.
