New 1OTk, july ou.-COrreSpOn-
dents who have made the rounds of
the most fashionable seaside resorts
of France write in terms of enthus-
iasm about the charming costumes
which they had the opportunity to see.
They say that the display of hand
some lingerie costumes is unusually
bewitching this season. Many of the
handsomest frocks show more or less
broderie Anglaise. Madeira work and
cutout linen. The material may be
white or colored, sheerest linen or
heavy linen, but the onenwo-k en-
broidery is there and is unquestionab-
ly effective.
A bodice and overskirt of tunic of
broderic Anglaise over a skirt of plain
stuff Or of lace are often seen and
some Of these are not SO expensive
as models apparently more simple.
This is because all over embroidery
or deep flouncing is often used, and
though in fine quality such embroid-
cry is expensive enough. it is by no
means SO expensive as embroidery
done to order on the frock material.
Excellent effects are obtained by
using the ready made bands of Eng
lish eyelet, which come in all widths
and qualities and may be set in be-
tween groups of tucks Or bands of
lace. There are eyelet motifs OF all
kinds too which may readily be shap-
ed into yokes. oversleeyes. etc. and
now these embroideries are marked
down to tempting prices. Such en-
broidery in color on white or In white
on color is tremendously effective up
on linen. chambray, etc. Lovely robe
patterns in the eyelet embroidery are
being sold at prices far below those
| asked at the beginning of the season
and are often so clearly designed that
even an uninspired seamstress can
put them together.
Scarfs are greatly in vogue and oc-
cupy an important position In the sum-
mer outfit of fashionable women.
Chiffon lends itself to an easy adap-
tation, combining a sufficient body
with suppleness, and offering a wide
field of color from which to choose.
Mousseline de sole, tulle, net and satin
are materials from which summer
scarfs are fashioned with the best
success. while anything that will give

These scarfs may be edged in var
ious ways. There can be q deep bord
er of embroidery and beads, either
transparent or wooden. From this
deep hem a thin line Of decoration
should trail up each side for a foot OF
two. then the graceful and highly fav
ored fringe can be used in any width
Knotted or straight, it gives a finish
and very effective.
! One of the striking features of the
summer cost is its lining. OF soft fou
lard in some of the most attractive
designs, it generally contributes to q
striking whole. White serge is still in
high favor; oyster gray and tan liner
are delightfully."- heavy In the new bas
ket weaves, while wooden materials
are loose enough to afford comfort
without too much warmth. The sum
mer coat is ornamented with a ma
rine collar or with long revers thai
cross and button quite far down. Met
al and tortoise-shell buttons are used
on the summer coat and huge peck
cts are not lacking.
Enchantress is the new material Of
the moment, and the latest addition
to the long list of soft satins launched
during the last three or four years. Il
is as pliable as muslin, yet as firm
as chiffon velvet.
| Sashes. tied in the mode OF child
hood, with bows and long ends, are
seen on many white dresses in Paris
this summer, giving dainty touch Of
color-cerise, violet, dark blue. mauve
brown and black predominating. With
the white dresses little coats in col
ored satin, harmonizing with the shade
of the sash, are universally worn. The
back is made without seam. Wide
reveres that either fall loosely or car
be buttoned, trim the front, and the
coat ends at hip length. All this in
dicates departure from the one-col
or costume. Moreover, the dark coat
with the white dress somehow makes
a better looking, more dashing cos
tune for the street.
