Fads for Women.

| One is always looking for new ideas in
making up lingerie frocks, SO detail Of
a very pretty dress may be interesting.
The noticeable feature was the fiounce. 1t
was deep, reaching to the knees. The
lower edge was finished with a half-inch
| hem and a group of tucks the same depth.
Above this was a row of val insertion
and then another group OF tucks one
quarter inch wide. Insertion again and
| a third group of pin tucks. The upper
edge was gathered. The waist and sleeves
carried out the tucking idea, but the
dounce was certainly very pretty.
/ saw a very pretty frock in shirred
princess effect recently that any girl who
can sew could make for herself. The ma
| terial was navy blue and white dotted
wolfe combined with plain blue. The
cords to form a bolero effect. and again
at the waist line and at knee depth. Then
the dress was slashed from bust TO hem
to display panel of the plain blue
| band of blue finished the top of the gown
| and the row down the sleeves, the re-
| manning portions being of the check run
| ming around the arms.
| One OF the most effective make-believes
| or coyer-alls in millinery that l have
seen this season was brought about
| by the use of white net yelling dotted
with black chenille an inch or more apart
4 The hat was of white chip and the trim
ming had been white null, and one might
| easily have believed that 1t was still i'm
i maculate after square of the net had
i been placed over the entire hat and
4 caught under the brim. The veil was of
the same net, and the effect was not only
/ dainty. but striking.
i There is no smarter wrap for younger
i women's wear at seaside, lake or noun
i tain than the REFER coat made from
/ lightweight wooden checked material
! Now that the one-piece dresses are so
i much worn the short. loosely fitting little

| Elderly women who prefer bonnets to
hats sometimes find il difficult to find
pleasing models. At store l saw recently
/ some very pretty and smart-looking bon
nets. One was of braided net, black.
draped softly over the crown, and coronet
4 trimmed with bunch of dainty white
flowers from which rose black aigrette.
The strings were of good ribbon. Another
was of white Yedda braid. covered with
| cobwebby black net. The left side was
trimmed with black silk roses and lilies
| of the valley. Black roses also held the
strings at the back.
i A smart-looking and serviceable hat for
general wear by small girl is OF San
Juan straw in a burnt color, hand pressed
| 1t is in a shady. mushroom shape with
| trimming of red or navy blue ribbon
around the crown tied into a bow on
| either side.
| Remnants Of fine embroidery in lawns
| and batistes that can be picked up cheap
| ly just now. make up into dainty long
| coats for infants wear. / saw coat not
/ long ago that was fashioned from a rem
nant of houncing and a short length of
palmer material. At the top of the de-
| sign in the embroidery the surface was
| dotted and the same kind of dotted
| goods was found in a narrower width
/ that sold by the yard. This was used
porting the body of the coat formed by
\ the houncing gathered at the top. The
| whole was lined with white China silk.

wrists after the gloves are donned.
