wrought by the treatment of the neck, a navy collar in dull soft linen being used to show how adaptable ft is. For dressy occasions, however, more elaborate and dafntfer collars should be used and without scarf, merely following the line of the neck. The gown is of undyed tussore, the skirt has a short fitted tunfc, longer in the back than in the front and trimmed with a band of liberty ribbon of a lichen brown shade. Beneath the tunic the skirt is arranged to many small box pleats and finished with band of liberty ribbon. The sleeves are cut in one with the bodice and nn- ished with a deep cuff of the material laid in small tucks and edged with ribbon. The p1astron is made in two sections, the square upper one over tapping the lower pointed one and each outlined with the Hchen colored ribbon, which asso finishes the neck. The color is of ahe goods edged with the velvet and a loosely knotted scarf of old blue crepe Is worn with ft.
 Textures and Weaves.
 The hopsackings will be used not only for early sErfng, but all through the summer for, instead of harsh, heavy, closely woven wool, we are pre- sented with an exceedingly soft, loose 1y woven, light weight material. They are unsurpassed for seashore or noun tain resorts, as the loose weave read fly admits the air, while the wool gives just enough warmth to obvfzts the use of cumbersome wraps.
 Polo Cloth.
 A new version of it, that has beer seen a little through the winter In en- elusive circles, is known as polo cloth, deriving it's name from the loose cloaks worn at this game over ones riding clothes. It is used in town for opera coats, more or less elaborated It is very rich and thick in texture, though somewhat heavy for spring wear. But it Is Very soft and light to the touch. It will be largely em- ployed for separate coats and capes.
 Covert cloth, in a new light weight, hitherto unknown for whole suits, is to be obtained in lovely soft color ings. It has a fine, diagonal twin, made of two tones of twisted yarn. This years fabric Shows one thread of white twisted with 4 color, thus giving the silvery cast characteristic of GOV erts.
 Among new serge weaves is one known as shark skin It has a diag- onal weave with a crepe-like surface. Others are: CamePs hair serge, surah serge and imperial serge, ranging through various spring shades to white.
 A New Material.
 Neigeuse is a decidedly new ma terial, quite in contrast with those above mentioned. It has a fine line of wool, with here and there little rib of white silk which gives 1t fluffy, snowflake appearance. The col ors are very soft, almost pastel. Broadcloths, though not in general {, use, are much in demand for evening wraps and some exquisite new shades are being produced.

VOW that the soft spri1

A TOW that the soft spring M showers are over and the
 twittering of birds in the branches has changed to a soft cooing, we have no further need of The weather even now is, on fine days, quite warm enough to insure the sue cess of a garden party, and even though the air be trif1e chill, there are those bewitching little shoulder wraps that are such an addition to an afternoon toilette. Of no small consideration are the accessories for the frOckS of this season.
 ParasOls are perhaps by far the most important, and how few women realize the magnitude of their subtle power. Many woman has f1oundered hopelessly in her social career mere ly through the choice of her parasol. The prevailing idea of the proper selection of Q parasol is that it must be the exact tone of the gown. This is quite erroneous and absurd if one stops to think of it, for parasols, liize color stage lights, greatly alter the expression of the face as a re- f1ected light it throws upon it for better or for worse; and in addition all the shadows are reversed; as in stage lights, they arc thrown up instead of down, and while one may not care to use makeup to ccunteract this eff feet, much can be attained by the ex- erci5o cf 8 little care in selecting the proper tone.

which also forms the wide round collar and inserted band on the skirt. The skirt just touches the ground evenly all round. The neck is filled in with little shirred yoke of lighter green tulle, the same shade as the little leaves, and finished by narrow band of black velvet ribbon, which counteracts the effect of the green next the flesh and de- stroys the reflection under the chin.
 The new figured pongee is shown in most delectable models for dressy afternoon frocks. The one at the right is a very pretty polka-dot pattern with an inter- esting sash, such as our mothers wore in their girlhoods. The skirt is cut with a gored top reaching half way to the knees, where the full Spanish founce is attached. A broad plain sash of plain moire ribbon matching the background is drawn rather tight 1y about the hips and tied with a loose knot with one upstanding loop, the two ends reaching to the knees. Somewhat novel is the plastron, which is in one with the moire girdle, this being cut on the bias so as to fit into the figure nicely and afford a few soft wrinkles in front. It is trimmed with narrow fold of liberty satin, the shade of the polka dot. The rest of the bodice is quite simple of construction, tucked

The Important Scarf.

Scarfs form an important factor to the summer gowns, and the woman who does. not avail herself of these alluring weapons deserves all the de- feat she will have meted out to her under the very nose of her erstwhile unattractive rival. Chiffon scarfs not only veil a multitude of sins but are most vital weapons in woman's con- quest. Picture to yourself floating f1lmy draperies disappearing down moonlit path. There is something mysterious and fascinating lingering about the very space they have f1oated through, and one may not have seen even the outline of the wearer. But all this I believe is apropos of other matters than clothes, which we will return to in minute detail.
 One of the handsomest models seen this season was a lingerie robe of eyelet embroidered batiste of pecu- liarly cool blue color, the intensified color of pale blue submerged in water. This comes in matched sets or in whole robes ready to sew together.
 The skirt was especially good; the upper portion was slightly puffed into a wide straight band of embroidery, extending down over the ruff1es a trifie lower at the sides and back than in the front. It fitted quite smoothly about the waist, the fu1lness being taken up in half inch tucks. Below the band of embroidery were two wide fiounces, the gathers arranged in quarter inch tucks about 315 inches in length. They were correspOndingly graduated to allow the band to slip well down over the sleeve-like little caps.

SYSTEM TOMAKE IRONING EASIER
Don't Put Linen Through the Wringer- How to Make a
 Cheap, Movable Closet

IRONING day may be made less tire \ some by a little forethought on the part of the housewife. Never put linen pieces through the wrfnger if you would avoid the little wrinkles that are so hard to press out Small tucks will iron smoother and look better if ironed on the wrong side. If knit wear, bath towels, etc, when taken from the lines are snoothed with the hands and placed on the bars to air, they will be ready to put away by the time the bars are needed for the ironed clothes.
 To avoid the unsight1y fold so often seen on the top of a sleeve of starched shirt-waists, fold at the seam, iron the upper, then the lower side, not letting the iron pass within an inch or two of the edge; open the sleeve, fold with the unironed part in the center of the sleeve and press carefully.

A Portable Closet.

If one has not much closet room. or wishes a place to keep clothes for a time out of the dust, an excellent portable closet can be made in the following manner: Take a two-foldeT clothes rack and put in a corner of the room. Fasten brass rod across the top in front, from one of the up- rights to the other; this is to put the curtain on. Cut out a piece of stiff pasteboard in triangular shape to fit the top and cover with white oil cloth, binding it around the edges. This can be laid upon the top to keep the dust out and is ready to be moved at any time. Put screw hooks along the rods in the inside to hang the clothes upon. Enamel all in white. Silkaline or any material can be used for the curtain, and can be suspended by rings to the rod, or a deep casing can be run in the curtain and the rod run through this. This fs an excellent way to protect clothes when away on vacation If there s no closet available.

ruff1e of the skirt finishes the sleeve. The neck is finished with the black velvet edged with the narrow lace edging. The girdle is made of soft folds of the green velvet used in the bodice.

ries of four puffs and wide f1ounce at the bottom. Each putting was fin ished at the lower edge by a narrow ruf1ie of the silk, headed by a narrow
 band of black velvet ribbon. The up- per puff was trifie shorter than the next, which was again a trifle shorter than the two lower ones. The two top ones dipped trif1e in the front. A pro-
 portionately shorter puff formed the lower part of the bodice, joined to 8 wide band of Valenciennes lace, above
 which was narrow pulling of the
 silk which joined the lower edge of

leaves with brown stems. The three piece skirt is cut with front panel extending up into the waist in prin- cess fashion, closing invisibly on the right side. The back of the waist is slightly bloused at the belt which is pointed in the back and made of folds of taffeta ribbon of dried rose shade like the scarf that is knotted under the collar. The sleeves are quite plain but loose at the top being cut slightly circular at the bottom to which is attached a deep turnover cuff of handsome heavy ecru lace,

the shaped yoke of Valenciennes fin- ished with narrow Val edging. A jumper sleeve is simulated by tucked
 band of silk inlaid in piece of vel vet, the outer edge finished with lace edging. The little bell shaped sleeves are made in simple gathered sleeve, fuller at the elbow than at the shoul- der, and held in at the middle by
 band of the lace which is shorter around the top than around the bot tom. A narrow, close fitting band of tucking edged with narrow lace and
 black velvet ribbon like that on the
