/ harGaoAize with the colorings of ths
coat. For example, a pongee Goa,
will carry gilt or light brown but
tons; a red brown mixture has rel
buttons; blue buttons, that exactly
match the material are used on {
light weight cloth coat.
Golden brown and tan seem to BIZ
! the faVorite colors. These are com.
bined with contrasting coIors in the
trimming. Stripes of black and
white add novel touch to many OF
the chic models. Two-inch bands Oh
striped silks are seen edging the
plain eolored trimming, and some
coats are lined throughout with mar
row striped silk.
Cool, comfortable coats and skirts
are being made Of the finer, softer
Weayes of Shantung silk, chosen in
| the natural biscuit shade, and also of
soft satins and favorite fabric
called 'silk-serge,'' which closely re-
sembles satin merveilleux. A pretty
/ model is of delft blue satin trimmed
in quite new way, with long silk
ribbons chosen in darker shade of
| blue. The skirt opens on the left
| side in panel effect, revealing lone
end Of ribbon, and caught across with
a duh silver button.
Some of the most attractive coat
and dress sets, consisting of a sailor
collar and large turn-back cuffs, are
of white mousseline or plain swiss,
| with no further elaboration than the
hemstitched hem. Hemstitching, by
the way, is favorite feature on
French gowns and accessories of al
most every kind of fabric, and can
be used with excellent advantage on
neckwear. There hemstitching can
not be introduced conveniently, set
| in narrow beading is used instead.
| Several types OF neckwear are re-
presented in the latest importations
from Paris. Foremost are the sailor
collars. These come in embroidered
linen and batiste, net and lace, and
some of them are made Of plain white
material having colored borders
matching the gowns with which they
are to be worn ...
| The shayl collar of embroidered
batiste or fine handkerchief linen
finds favor in the eyes of the large
woman. These are cut like a fchu
in front to give shallow V-shaped
neck. Such a collar with scalloped
edges is particularly attractive when
| worn with a dark colored gown.
Folded back cuffs that match are
worn with it A feature of many of
the French sailor collars is the ex-
IRENE depth in the back. This is a
new note and promises to become
very popular, especially with tall
and stately women, Of generous pro-
portions. s- E
First and faremost among gowns
suitable for summer wear come the
froeks OF COO, 4pale-tinted linens,
since their weight is extremely light,
while they are refreshing to the eye
even on the hottest days.
Sleeves of summed gown or blouse
admit of much trimming. Lace in
sertion, embroidered or lace motifs,
insets of both lace and embroidery,
with edging on the cuffs, are all cor
rect, if care is taken to choose suit
able trimmings and not too much of
it is used.
Separate skirts are strictly tailor
ed, and those that do not show the
paenl effect are either cut perfectly
plain, trimmed only with stitching,
| or have simulated tunic effect, OBJ
tanned by the use of bias bands.
Wide lace collars worn on coats
and dresses are often bordered with
soutache, worked in pattern, which
gives weight to the edges.
! Hosiery in every case matches the
shade of the gown with which it is
worn.
! On the beaches are seen many
black silk bathing suits with white
Empire revers.
