so that the individual studies carefully
the lines OF her figure and bestows
much attention on her neckgear. To
some the rundown collar is becom-
ing; on others, 1t is fatal; and the
very thin neck, or the very old neck
is better for the influence of a band Of
black velvet held with a diamond
brooch. Then, again, people with very
long necks will invariably find they
look better under the influence of a
transparent collarband fitting tightly
under the chin. Perfectly plain net is
much used for these bands, and with a
narrow hem of black satin they obtain
most general recognition The add.
ton OF pearl necklet, of two, or even
three strings, on the black satin dress
with the transparent top, is very valu-
able, and, added to a broad-brimmed
hat with real lace veil, well adjusted,
completes a costume hard to beat.
Patent leather shoes have yielded
place to those of antelope, and lace
stockings have been entirely super
seeded by the very thinnest gauze
silk.
There is nothing very new in the
land of parasols. and we appear to find
most satisfaction from those of plain
silk. Elaborations, however, show
spotted net bound with velvet or satin,
and we have recognized that the ham
die made of beads is by no means COM
Portable to hold.
Which reminds me there are some
pretty new models in handbags, leath-
er being for the moment discarded in
favor OF watered silk, tasseled and
held by frame of gold. These look
very well in black with gold mono
gram in the left-hand corner. Velvet,
too, is used for these handbags, but
watered silk is undoubtedly more at
tracttve, and antelope skin is patron
lied also for this purpose.
Black satin is to be the material for
bathing dresses, the trimming to re-
main strictly black silken braid being
chosen for choice, while the belt is to
be of patent leather, and thin black
stockings are to be worn, and the
cap to be also of black. A variation of
this scheme includes blue and white
striped stockings and a blue and
white cap. but black, entirely black, is
really the most chic. AS a more eco
nomical suggestion. violet bunting
may be used. An excellent trimming
can be formed of black or black and
white cross-stitch, worked either in
cotton or silk. the rule OF the black

without fulness on the top. However,
the reticent will consider the charms
of the killed skirt which bears a linn
tied amount of stuff about the waist,
and this can be well achieved by the
checked toile which come to us from
Paris. Then, again. we always have
the destinations of red and pink bath
ing dresses to consider.
Pink is amongst the few colors we
are adopting enthusiastically this sea-
son. Pink of the palest Shantung and
tussore makes charming coats and
skirts, and may also be highly CON-
mended for the tunic form of dress, but
even the best laid pinks of man and
maid go all astray in the strong sun,
light, and it must be written that it is
not avisable to put your faith in pinks.
Very novel and desirable at that is
an all-in-one-piece dress made of pals
coral-tinted crepe cotton. with the hem
and belt and front of the slightly full
bodice worked in a conventional de,
vice with white opaIescent beads.

bearing huge black velvet bow.
