New York, July go Correspon-
dents who have made the rounds of
the most fashionable seaside resorts
of France write in terms of enthusi-
asm about the charming costumes
which they had the opportunity to see.
They say that the display of handsome
lingerie costumes is unusually be-
witching this season. Many of the
handsomest frocks chow more or less
broderie Anglaise, MADEIRA work and
cutout linen. The material may be
white or colored, sheerest linon or
| heavy linen, but the openwork en-
broidery is there and is unqestionably
effective.
A bodice and overskirt or tunic of
broderie 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 embroidery is eX-
pensive 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
Xii dis too which may readily be shap-
ed iIto Jokes, oversleeves, etc, and
now these embroideries are marked
down TO tempting prices. Such en-
broidery in color on white or in white
Oh color is tremendously effective up-
On linen, chambray, etc. Lovely robe
patterns in the eyelet embroidery are
bong sold at prices far below those
asked al the beginning of the season
and are often so cleverly designed
that even an uninspired seamstress
can put them together.

One of the striking features OF the

designs, it generally contributes to

in high favor; oyster gray and tan
linen are delightfully."- heavy in the new

summer coat is ornamented with
marine collar or with long revers that
cross and button quite far down. Metal
and tortoise-shell buttons are used on
the summer coat and huge pockets are
not lacking.

in colored satin, harmonizing with the
shade of the sash, are universally
worn. The back is made without a
seam. Wide revers that either fall
loosely or can be buttoned trim the
front, and the coat ends at hip length.
All this indicates a departure from the
onecolor costume. Moreover. the
dark coat with the white dress some
how makes better looking, more
