She knows that her heaG must be

Nv for that time. She has got her
clothes for summer, and she has no
sdea Of getting her clothes for winter.
She wants to enjoy the open air, the

sible she wants to be let alone. She
as uuite willing to listen to any over
mre to pleasure, but she is active
Nv opposed to any effort toward work,
writes Anne Rittenhouse. in the New
York Times.
In a way she is mollusc, In that
she holds on with all her strength
to doing nothing.
She may want to wear the clothes
she has, but she may not be able to
do 1t. 1t is rare indeed when a wom-
an is not compelled through inclina-
ton or some forces of circumstances
TO rearrange her wardrobe In every
season, no matter how well it is
planned
She may regard the heated and Ian
guorous midsummer as the most irri-
tating time to think about anything
SO simple as blouse or so terrifying
as o hat and a gown, but ten to one
she must do 1t. This is true of each
Of the four seasons. To save herself
trouble she may use all her wits to-
ward planning and perfecting a ward
robe that will leave her free for the
rest of the season, but her best laid
plans will go awry.
Some Good New Ideas.
She will learn there are midsummer
fashions as soon as she begins to ex-
pertinent with them. She will be sur
prised to learn how many clever
things are introduced In a dull sea-
son to keep up interest. and how real
ly satisfactory these are when tried
out
Some Of them are entirely new; 9TH
ers were invented much earlier In the
season, but in the rush of many new
Shngs they were allowed to pass by
Without notice.
The designers themselves take
great pleasure in introducing scraps
Of new things, in applying new meth
DDS, in playing with new ideas, when
the bulk of the work Is over and the
frenzied demand for clothes has some
what ceased. One designer, noted
for charming things. says that she
gets all her inspirations after June
She explains this by the fearful rush
OF the spring. when every woman
wants all her gowns at the same
ume' and NO leisure is allowed for
suggestions Or inspiration.
AS long as women must look at
clothes and make them or buy them #
is wise to know some of the interest
ing things that are being done In mid
summer gowns. Embroidering white
embroidery with colors is truly
peasant touch that is brought into
favor and gains new followers each
day.
The eyelet embroidery is bought in
tne real or imitation varieties, and
tnen its openings are overcast with
WIG tones in mercerized wash floss.
Inc pale blues and pinks which, In
otner days, every woman chose, have
gwen way to intense colors, such as
low.
Ihese are mixed in with several
olher tones, and sometimes three or
iouF colors are used In strong contrast
to each other.
