day, and it does fill many want. This
season it is more generally worn than
ever before and takes many forms,
ranging from severity in satin, moire,
cachemire de sole, etc, to piquant
combinations of chiffon, etamine, silk
voile or other sheer material with silk.
These combination costumes are in
the form of frocks and coats and are
suitable for innumerable occasions,
since the tailored coat and skirt bot
tom to match make the costume suit.
able for street or train, and yet the
sheer bodice and upper skirt may be
dainty and dressy enough for lunch
con, tea or other daytime function, in
the city or country.
With the coat and skirt costume of
silk a sheer blouse in the same color
should be ordered, but there are times
when this blouse may be saved by
wearing a comfortable separate blouse
of lingerie material. The softest and
finest of satins are used for the silk
costumes, and cachemire de sole is
immensely popular for the purpose,
though once upon time women would
have considered such materials too
light and soft for tailoring.
Cachemire de sole has, by the way,
many faces now and it is difficult to
remember the names of the various
materials. There is a "Cachemire de
sole raye," which is beautiful ma
terial, one tone, indescribably light,
supple and lustrous and woven with a
very fine cord running lengthwise of
the material. A satin cachemire de
sole is another favorlte, combining the
exquisite texture implied in it's name
with lustrous satin finish. There are
are two-tone cachemires de sole too,
in which plain ground is crossed by
a fine stripe, and some remarkably
chic French costumes are made up in
these striped silks.
No material is more practical and
serviceable, and since this summer
the foulard is modish as well as prac-
tical, a frock of it is an excellent
choice for general afternoon wear.
A little less ordinary is one of the
very soft lustrous silks in large checks
which may be had in great variety.
Not so serviceable but delightful for
afternoon purposes are the Pekin
mousselines and chiffons, and the
plain tone sheer stuffs such as chif-
fon, etamine and ninon.
Figured linen, dotted or preferably
striped, is offered in lovely fresh cool
colorings this season and is made up
with self trimming and a touch of
black or with plain linen in the color
of the stripe or dot into the simplest
and most chic of tub frocks fol, morn,
ing. The plain linens are good too
and inexpensive dimities, lawns, or
candies, cotton crepes, ETC., are as
plentiful as they are attractive, which
is saying much for them.
White linen suits for afternoon
| elaborately embroidered and trimmed
with lace, are often touched up with
color, with effects that are decidedly
| pleasing. The introduction of the
pale yellows, pinks and greens is
made at the revers and cuffs. Ere
quently it will be in the form of pip
ings or facings that show through the
open work of embroidery or lace
Vests of colored linens are worn with
the short white jackets, while touch
es of embroidery combined with patch
es of linen can be made to give the
sonally planned from the ready-made
suit.
The girl of limited means who in
tends to travel during her vacation
should not overburden herself with
luggage. She should get steamer
trunk, which can be purchased for as
little as 81, and which can easily be
slipped under the bed. A wicker bag
built on the order of club satchel is
also handy and very light. The gir
