Lavender Linen With Embossed
Trimming.

CUIIS.
Lavender Linen With Embossed
Trimming.
The embroidery which trims this
simple yet pretty dress is dyed in the
lavender shade of the linen. Both coat
and dress are trimmed with this en-
broidery and also with the sOutache
brafding. followed with lines of heavy
stitching which produces d raised or
embossed effect on the linen. Around
the decOlletage is a line of violet velvet,
and the violet note is repeated in velvet
on the hat, which is Of leghOrn trimmed
with wistaria. The gloves are the
dainty Niagara embroidered sort, with
lavender embroideries on a self-tOne
ground.
The Frenchwoman Adores a Muff.
The possibilities of coquetry in d muff
are fully appreciated by the PaTisienue
who dearly loves to pose with a huge,
fluffy muff in her hands, and has her
summer muffs of chiffon and lace as
well as the warmer sorts for practical
winter use. This frOck Of pale mauve
cachmere de sole is matched by d huge
muff Of the material trimmed with lace
frills and silk cord
Late summer always brings the prob
lem of the unlined gown. To any but
the most slender figure a fitted lining
is essential to shapeliness, yet we hest
tate to put a permanent lining into a
gown that is to be Numbered. The
seam-fitted cOrset-cOver, either alone or
in one of the sheath combinations, solves
the question so far as the waist is con-
cerned. It's use avoids the necessity
for bust supporters and the several cor
set-accessOries of this kind that, mean
ing additional clothing, are none too
welcome in very warm weather.
The plain corset cover may be relieved
from absolute severity by the judiciOus
use of trimming, which should never be
elaborate, however. The disclosure,
through a sheer waist, Of an over
trimmed corset cover and large corset
bow of colored ribbon, that had a GER
tain vogue last summer, is in question
able taste-to criticise it even mildly. A
simple embroidery design, with but
tOnhOled edge OF a frilI of narrow lace,
is quite enough.
Using Trimmed Underwear.
Though almost every woman likes
daintily trimmed underwear, she should
select her plainest corset covers to wear
under a transparent waist. Better still
than wearing the dress directly over the
corset cover and a white cambria skirt
is to have a fitted slip made for this
purpose. 1t takes the place of lining
and certainly makes one seem much
more properly dressed.
If made of suitable material it may
replace the corset cover and long petit
coat. Under a gown of transparent
fabric a slip of this sort is practically
a necessity. It assures the same shade
and color under both waist and skirt
and by its smOothly-fitting lines adds
immensely to the good effect of the cos
tune. 1t also does away with that bug
bear of the summertime-the gaping
waist line
Still another advantage is that by
supplying slips of different colors, and
using corresponding ribbons at girdle
neck and hair d very pleasing variety
may be given to one gown. The sir
may be of silk, but it is by no means
necessary that it should be. Lawn. any
good mercerized lining fabric or Saline
may be used. The latter is especially
