EVERYTHING IN WHITE
ONLY COLOR FASHION SANCTIONS
FOR THE SUMMER.
Serge and Mohair for Tailored Models
and Linen In Plain One-Piece
Frocks-Daintiness Keynote
OF the Styles.

This yeai fashion has put the IN
phasis-in tailored wear-on white.
Every su,nmer, OF course. brings white
TO the fore, hut this craving for cool,
immaculate white usually expresses
Itself in d%iaphanous frocks and blouses
and Ia linen tailored wear for the
street. But this year the coat and
viii be worn where in other summer
linen has been the rule; and though
the white serge suit may not be a whit
cooler than the one of dark blue. II
looks a deal cooler: and that. 10 be
sure, Is the main consideration. The
white erg suit for summer days has
no lining and Is made in the lightest.
coolest way. Most of these models
are trimmed with wide white braid.
or with stitched bands and facings Of
white silk or satin.
The white mohair suits are especial
ly dainty and are really as cool as the
linen models, with the advantage OF
shaking the dust more readily; nor
does the mohair suit require the fire.
QLtDt DRESSINGS lndl the llutn musA
have TO keep IL in presentable shape.
Another white fad this summer will
be the little white linen frock in rath-
er severe tailored style. These frocks
are made with extreme. even exagger-
ated simplicity. a touch Of Irish lace or
a little hand embroidery being the
only trimming permitted. The white
linen frock pictured is typical Of the
best types Of these costumes, and this
lirle frock may be worn in collarless
style. as the photograph shows. or
there may be a guimpe of white tuck
ed net or Irish lace.
One OF the prettiest of all the white
linen frocks exhibited thus far was
seen in a Fifth avenue window the 9TH
er morning: and beside the frock Of
white linen there was another. identi-
caliy like il, but made of pale-buff
linen. These frocks had straight. rath-
pr high wasted skirts and simple lit
lie bodices with seamless kimono
sleeves. but the feature was the en-
broidered s~calloping. done In self-color.
