summer froeks. and heavily hand-em
broidered wide girdles of the frock
material or trimming are often used.
For tailored costumes snowflake
cloths, soft loosely woven, light in
tone and powdered with soft flecks
OF white, are quite popular. These
materials are extremely pretty but
seem a little too heavy for summer
wear. The hopsacking weave appears
in a wide range of attractive color
ings and is not confined to woolens,
but finds place also among the linens
and mercerized cottons. Hopsacking
linen in dull finish and soft loose
weave is an admirable addition TO
the linen list.

softest and lightest to the dark smoke
and iron shades.
Among the smartest new tailored
models there are many with square
cut necks. The coat fronts cross in
a square line on the chest and the
collar runs only around the back
and down each side In front. The
little square Dutch neck opening Is
often attractive and allows scope
for fluffy. dainty neckwear

entirely unitarian, being but little
used for trimming. Where soutache

on imported models they seem IN
