Muslins, lawns and linens are the
favorite foundations for dresses TO be
worn at tennis and garden parties for
driving at fashionable resorts and up
on the other pleasant occasions In
which girls who are not yet in the de-
butante class are permitted to partici-
pate. These simple names of mate
rails do not convey all that they might.
however, for the reason that muslins
and linens in the finer qualities are
really glorified fabrics, sheer In weave,
delicate in texture and offered in ex-
quisite colors
Half dozen of these thin afternoon
dresses are not too many for the av-
erage young girl to possess, and II
goes without saying that two of them
Will be white. A white lingerie and a
white linen are almost essential TO
the summer outfit. This leaves four,
or more IL liked, to be chosen In the
wearers most becoming colors. The
shades from which young girls may

the fads of this season.
Among the simpler materials are
charming marquisettes, showing deli
cate pink stripes alternating with an
openwork pattern. and there are
dotted and figured cotton marquisettes
and muslins which have all the beauty
of silk and are much better suited to
ards or some of the softer weaves OF
silk.
The cotton voiles, new in weave and
finish, were never more alluring. and
they drape a girlish figure as no 9th
er fabric does. With pink and white,
rose and white, green with white fig
ures and in dull gray pin stripes a
brilliant touch of color is used, per
haps a satin bow or a piping on a
round collar, to give the dress an air.
Narrow Valenciennes insertions are
used fort he most part on lingerie
dresses. and even these are now often
trimmed with other laces or with en-
broidery to differentiate them from
the ubiquitous ready made garment.

of Cluny insertion outlining the neck
and forming the sleeve trimming The
sleeves were a narrow kimono cut,
with a band of the lace finishing the
bottom at the elbow, where an under
sleeve of fine white tucked linen was
seen. The blouse was drawn in at
the waist under a crushed belt of pink
silk and the skirt fell bit full at the
waist, but rather scant at the bottom
