euimpes 70 Match Gowns.

Guimpes and sleeves on princess
models are Of net. lace and chiffon
and are dyed 10 match the gown ma
terial but as the color is usually
light this effect Is more becoming
than when darker shades are used.
When plain material is employed for
the guimpe the sleeves are generally
tucked, and an attractive way of fash
ioning this trimming is to have the
tucks rather small as far as the elbow,
trihe wider toward the center Of the
forearm and quite large toward the
shoulder.
This arrangement varies the monot-
ony of the one-sized effect.
As for the princess gown-there are
cleverly designed models, with the
skirts Joined TO the short WASTED bod
ice. This joining is effected with but
tons that have the appearance Of being
trimming and not a means TO an
end
In white serge or white tussore this
model is a useful item in the summer
wardrobe
When worn with the coat to match
the ensemble idea is dominant. and
when a blouse waist, is substituted one
has the advantage OF a separate skirt.
With a little ingenuity many of the
so-called intricate costumes Of the
summer may be made TO serve a dou
bic purpose.

Picturesque Styles.

The summer styles have taken a de-
cidedly picturesque trend of late. Per-
iod dresses have ben presented-some-
what doubtfully. it must be confessed
by designers and dressmakers TO the
public. who have received them with
a generous need of approval. Green
way gowns and decapito blouses promise
10 have an immense vogue if one is to
judge by the cordiality they met with
at their initial appearance a short time
ago. The low collars of the Richelieu
or Dutch order that were worn so
much last winter paved the way for
the collarless waists OF today. They
are quite different from the Dutch
square or round necks that we all fell
in love with three or four summers
ago. The Dutch neck is almost de-
collete in comparison with the cut OF
the collarless blouse. which, as its name
implies is simply a blouse minus a col
lar. though. to be absolutely accurate
they are about half an inch lower in
the neck than the blouse that is in
tended to be finished in the usual way

When thees cases are slipped over
the board the ends are sewed up and
tapes to fastcn in the gown securely
are sewed to the cover at equal dis

The garment is thus held sure.
