consider the cost of their wardrobesi They are so soft that they tuck into little handbag for an overnight trip or go into numbers into the suitcase without danger of being mussed. !
 Midsummer Novelty.
 One of the midsummer develop ments that might be considered nov1 city is the use of striped skirts with plain little satin coats, cut on Direc1 toire lines. Frequently bright tones are employed for the stripes and the plain coats-emerald green, corona tion blue, fruit red and old rose andl the like. A very stunning suit of the kind had the skirt of golden brown and white striped silk serge and ai coarse net blouse embroidered with brown. The coat was of plain goldeni brown satin. The model in this in-. stance was one of the open effects with single huge rever. The oppo-l site side of the coat showed a very large full frill of ivory tinted lace.
 White flannel and white serge cos tunes stitched with bright coloredi silk and with hat, parasol, shoes and stockings en suite are the latest whimi of society leader whose clothes are always more or less out of the ordi-. nary. This same young matron ap-. peared at an uptown restaurant the other day attired in a white serge tailor-made stitched with bright green thread. She wore a becoming little dropping hat in the same shade of frfr -1.,I ostrich feathers arranged high at the back. Her long-handled sunshade was in corresponding color, and was mounted on a green glass stick that scintillated at every turn. The glass was cut in crystal effect Her green suede pumps were decorated with big oval buckles in tarnished gold.
 Dainty Lawn Party Frock.
 A dainty and effective little frock worn at lawn party was of cream colored batiste of sheer quality trimmed very effectively with ere tonne. The skirt was straight and scant, and gathered ever so slightly into a raised girdle. There were three narrow bands of cretonne near the foot, the bands being made up of a delicate rose and vine pattern The bodice was a cunning little affair, fas- toned after the style of the baby, waist and finished with a gracefully draped fichu edged with double pelisse of white maline. The coat was of di- rectoire style and made of the ere tonne with old blue collar. revers and cuffs. The short tails or tabs at the back were lined with the blue and fur ther trimmed with big buttons.
 All the smart bags this season have handles of heavy silk cord from one to two yards long. Sometimes they. are carried with the cord knotted or twisted into big loops, but the latest fad is to put the cord over the shoul- der and allow the bag to come almost to the finger tips, so that it may bel in place to open conveniently. Some of the novel bags are of dull gold lace,i representing ancient designs. Others come in cluny and Irish lace effects made of metallic threads, and all are so immense that they look more like albums than anything else Black and white stripes are liked for costumes in the same combination. Such bags are mounted on metal rims and have handsome clasps often set with col ored stones.
 In Neckwear.
 Pads in neckwear are so numerous that one hardly knows which to men, ton as being smartest. Perhaps the most practical of the better collars is the one of Irish lace worn over an- oF okI kI which is of plain organdie. Some such collers have long fichu ends that tie across the bust or just below it Fichus remain in favor and have giv- en on end of easy drapery possibilities to simple little blouses. Many are very elaborate, being of fine handker- chief linen and handsomely em- broidered by hand. Some of the young CT girls are wearing their fichus out side their coats, securing the ends with a very long bar pin.
 The liking for cerise, or cherry, as 1t is called by many, has not abated. When touches of 1t first apepared in. the early spring it was thought to be merely passing fancy. but now we see cerise trimming all kinds of gowns from the tailor-made to the elaborate evening frock. One of the latest uses to which the collar has found it's way Is in the separate collar and cof sets of satin and worn with white serge or linen tailored suits. The collars are enormous in size. and likewise the cuffs. Pocket flaps. cravats and often the handbag, carry out the color scheme to perfection. We have also noticed such sets in reversible silks plain on one side and striped on the other. They are very striking, wheth- er made of the gay tones or of black and white piped with color.
 Our illustration shows the latest novelty, robe of white linen and 'broderie anglaise," with underskirt
