A number of the prettiest bathing suits are almost plain, finished sts the neck with 6 snow-white Dutch collar of Irish lace.
 The advance styles show that the skirt made with the snug-fitting yoke will be among the smartest show in the next few months. Linen Dutch collars. with two rows of ciuny lace and an edge of the same lace are exceedingly pretty. and they Iaunder well.
 Irish crochet still holds Its own. and is used freely upon the simplest wash gowns as well as upon the most elab- | crate evening dresses. The black velvet band which is worn about the neck of the collarless gowns is fastened at the side with a | small brooch or a fancy buckle. | ooties for little folks. made of linen and mbroidered in either the satin stitch or eyelet work are as dainty as they are serviceabie.
 Empire and princess effects demand | the softer and more sheer moussellnes, batistes, musline, the cotton voiies, 1 crepes and others of similar texture. | old-fashioned brooches. including the gold tone of our grandmothers' day, with its mosaic center. are in the very height Of fashion.
 Silver and rhinestone buttons trim the pale blue gown of satin crepe which is included in the trousseau of the smart young society woman. Yellow is one of the smartest colors for the separate blouse. Those of l handkerchief linen and trimmed with lace dyed to match are especially fetch- ing.
 With the return to shorter shoulder l lines the scarf is now worn over the shoulders and not thrown of onto the l AA Co AH In AA
 An exquisite fancy of the moment is the kerchief of brilliants worn on the head. It Is an accompaniment of course, of the most elaborate of the evening costumes.
 The deep pointed bodice is already heralded by the reverse position of the pointed girdle which is beginning to than upward.
 Cotton bedford cord is to be had ip wide range of colors. It is similar | to pique in appearance, but different enough to appeal to those who like a change.
 The fashionable plume is very thick and curls over at the tips, so that two, or even three. of the old thin kind will be required to produce one of the pres 1 ent vintage.
 1 Very charming lingerie frocks made of all over embroidery will be worn 1 this summer over colored silk slips with girdle, and touches of soft silk or satin to match.
 1 Very charming are the new bathing suits made of Scotch plaid taffetas, in subdued eolors, trimmed with bands of plain taffeta. and worn with bathing shoes of the plaid material. One sees neckties now of white wash able materials, with the monogram of the wearer done in coiors. The letters are small and come just where the scarf pin would ordinarily. The polonafse is growing fashion. and 1t is more than likely that a good deal of 1t will be seen next fall. If Louis XIV. styles are again material I ized it will be sure to crop out.
 Aims bags are now to be had in linen with belts to match, It Is interesting to know that it Is the shape of this long bak which gave this smart acces. sory of the toilette its queer name. The separate. waist though written out by fashion scribes as regularly as | the season changes, and as often as brought in by the manufacturers in irresistible styles, continues to four 1 ish.
 The gauge muff is huge and flat and | is usually trimmed around with the
 dropping pleatings of the gauge. and
 Is worn a good deal at weddings. par ticulariy by bridesmaids. It usually I matches the hat.
 Mems new cuff links consist of a solid bar of gold. so bent in the mid l dle as to form an obtuse angle corre-
 spending with the natural angle form
 ed by the justaposition of the ends oi
 the cuffs as they extend beyond tn,
 ends of the coat sleeves.
 The curass is the paramount noveitl
 for evening dress wear. and a very
 potent allurement it is. One of iti many forms show the entire princess
 gown. with the lower part of tho
 bodice and the hip portion of the skir
 covered with embroidery.
