auently into the tub.
The blues are to be immensely popular
among linens and are always practical, be
cause save in very light tones, they do
not soil quickly and the blue dyes stand
the onslaught OF the laundress more
sturdily than most dyes do.
The dark tones of blue are particularly
lovely this season. Never before have the
manufacturer obtained such results. and
we should see much Of these darker blue
linens, relieved and given coolness by "a
touch OF white. A long line OF pink and
rose linens challenges admiration and there
are some delightfully."- cool, soft greens and
grays.
Collarless neck effects are many among
the linens. but even where the model is of
this type It is usually possible TO add a
tiny guimpe Of lingerie or lace for the
woman to whom the exposed throat is un-
becoming.
A plated frill of lawn or net or lace,
such as will be seen in two simple little
models which are sketched here often
finishes the collarless neck OF the French
frock and is rather more generally be-
coming than a more severe finish, while
a sheer guimpe is quite possible in con-
nection with 1t.
The plated frir in one form or another
will ave much to do with giving a festive
and dainty air to simple summer frocks,
and one purveyor of such accessories says
that she is having many demands for fin
pretty frills unplaited, her customers con.
tending that they have great difficulty in
getting the plated frills properly laundered
and that the unplaited frills. IL fine enough
will give the desired effect.
Now here is work for any woman whs
has the slightest cleverness with a needl,
and wants to pick up work. Hand made
frills of fine materials are expensive ever
when the simplest sort, and the coarse
machine made variety fail in the essentia
mission of the frill, but any woman cal
make adorable little frills by hand. finish
ing them with fine narrow lace or lace an,
insertion. and a goodly supply OF sucl
things will go far toward giving the sim
plest of summer morning frocks an air o
smartness.

Irish lace or fine embroidery is effective

black or it may be combined with a simpl
stock of fine tucking and lace.
The plated frllls falling from the throa
line and not running down the blous
front are a trifle more difficult to max
If one attempts any of the complicated dc
signs, but some OF the simpler designs az
easily copied. The shops abound in de
lectable frills, stocks, bows, collars, etc
but the difficulty is that the fine an
ldainty ones are usually elaborate and e,
pensive, while the inexpensive ones al
likely to be coarse and pretentious instea
of fine and simple.
Tailored frocks continue TO appear

The three French models pictured he
