summer season. They are extremely pretty.

arms and curying over the hands.
Velvet as trimming continues TO be
used in considerable quantities. AS an ac-
centing note on gowns of bright color dark
gray and taupe colored velvet is preferred
to black. and the odd taupe shape that is
neither gray nor brown is particularly
fetching as an adjunct to white summer
gowns. A sweet gown in the trousseau OF
an Easter hriCc. is of white English en-
broidery under an overdress of cerise silk
wolfe. The dear little surplice corsage. with
embroidered edges. and its short chemse

with taupe colored velvet ribbon that ties

The woman who wants 10 give touch
of individuality TO her summer wardrobe
and al the same time save herself money
and trouble should choose one color and
stick TO IL for the entire season.
\ clever young woman. who has devoted
some time TO the working out Of this one
color scheme. is having her morning
gowns made of blue chambray. blue and
white striped percale and blue and white
linen With the plain white gowns she will
wear blue belts and a large white sailor
hat. or a soft Panama with a blue and
white scarf Her gowns for the afternoon
are to be- either OF palest blue or white,
and with the latter she will wear an Old
time loop sash of light blue. one OF her
parasols is OF this shade. with rows or
white silk fringe. and among her hats Is
lingerie trimmed with coquettish blue bows
and tiny round cluster OF pink rosebuds
OF outing coats she will have two-One or
dark blue rajah. with sailor collar ana
cuffs OF leather. the other white WOOL
polo coat. with collar cuffs and pockets OF
a light blue and white striped material.
Should brown be the chosen color. the
wardrobe should contain not strictly brown
gowns. but tan. yellow and cream white.
Buff linen morning gowns, worn with 4
large burnt straw hat, covered with butter
cups or a brown straw sailor with leather
band, are charming. For afternoon there
are gowns Of embroidered ecru batiste, 10

plumes Of yellow or white. Exquisite but

dies OF scented wood, are just the thing TO
carry with these yellowish creations. The

make one renounce every shade but brown,
and the prettiest motor coats and wells
come in the brown!sh-tan tones. Yellow
evening gowns, with touches OF gold or

garlands os little yellow roses, are lovely
and most becoming 20 the brunette beauty.
