EADS AND FASHIONS.

Plated flounces and scant, flat ly-
ing ruffles make their appearance
here and there. limiting at rebellion
against the long maintained narrow
lines, though even those plaits and
frills are SO subdued that they give
absolutely no suggestion of bouffancy.
One of Caliot's. very popular infor-
mai frocks is of ecru pongee combin-
ed with the same material in a soft
dull blue, while the upper part of the
bodies, including the sleeves and the
borders of the two deep plated floun-
ces which form the lower part of the
skirt are of ecru silk. Buttons cover
ed with the silk and an embroidered
nautical motif on the bodice front
which indicates that the frock was
primarily designed for a yachting cos
tune are the only trimmings, btu the
frcck has distinct originality and ca
Chef.
Flat, overlapping fiounces OF net
bordered narrowly by bead embroid.
cry sometimes cover an entire skirt
Of satin. from the narrowness OF
which they detract scarcely at all, and
a charming taffeta frock is flounced
in flat overlapping flounces to the
waist, and another, OF light green ba
ly fashioned to top the flounced skirt
btu these are, of course, the excep
tons.
| Striped cottons and linens are useo
for many of the inexpensive morning
frocks and some of the models in the
cheap cotton stripes are SO chic anC
pretty that they might well be made
to do duty for any informal summer
afternoon and evening purpose. The
black and white stripes regular anC
rather wide make up very modishl.
and are shown in some of the mex
pensive materials, though one see!
more of the white ground very mar
row black stripping. This last is be
ing used so extensively that its I'm
deniable charm is being overshadow
ed by the quantity of it seen here
there and everywhere.
Pink is one of the best summer ha
colors, and beautiful hats are show
in the soft pastel tones of pink trim
med in big soft roses shading throug
the lavenders and puppies, or i
black. mousselaine roses and foliage
ar in ostrich plumes shading throug
dull pinks and smoky grays. Some al
tractive things are done, too, wit
soft pink chiffon stretched plainly o,
err fine white straw.
Feathers are used even more thal
flowers in the very dressy large sun
mer hats. but flowers are sprayed III
= on many of the smaller shapes, quit
covering the crown and giving it pre-
digious height.
Many of the sleeves. are extremel
short, detail in keeping with othe
Empire ideas. and one finds the e
bow sleeves of some of the smartes
models taking on bell lines instead 9
falling straight in peasant fashion.
The three quarter sleeve is popular
and oddly enough the summer seaso
has brought out good many lon
sleeve models which will be far les
comfortable than those with shor
sleeves.
Jabots of fine linen, trimmed wit
baby Irish, antiques or VaIencinne
lace, are modish and add a decide
touch of elegance to the plain bious
or waist.
Glass, porcelain Or bone button
may buttons may now be bought t
match almost any color of dress ma
terial.
Silk marquisettes, GILES and grena
dimes have taken the place of chiffol
to a great extent this season. and al
these materials are closely copied il
cotton fabrics.
