touch. A great many striped voiles are
being worn and they are always lovely
and the colors this season are fascinating.
Scalloped edges are extremely fashion
able. Very lovely little dresses can be
made Of the striped voile after some such
model as the one shown on the third
figure; and, If the neck and sleeve edges
are scalloped and embroidered in the
color Of the stripe with dot within each
scallop, embroidered in the same color
with an outline Of black while q thread
Of black is drawn through the scallop
after working, a really distinctive effect
will be obtained A dress that is made
in this way will, Of course, be adapted to
slightly different occasions from the one
finished with lace frills, but II is just
the finish that often makes the difference
between a dress adapted to dinner wear
and the dress adapted to morning wear,
50 that finish is very important con-
sideration.
For sashes are used, ribbon, silk and
velvet ribbon and the very latest French
fancy is for black velvet ribbon edged
round with white valenciennes lace.
These sashes are some Of them tied right
at the back in simple bows with long
ends that fall to the ends Of the skirts,
but others are treated after the manner
illustrated, held with once-over knots
and with little punches Of flowers tucked
under the belt. Flowers Of the artificial
kind are very charming. They are made
of silk and ribbon to be durable a. well
as beautiful and they are being very ex-
tensively employed as garniture for lin
gerie dresses. Fichus make Just the
prettiest possible garnature for plain
blouses and they are made Of lace, lace
fiouncing and Of net edged with lace
Wise girls will have several Of different
sorts, for the dress that 10 worn some
times with and sometimes without a
hchu becomes practically two and, when
ever the hchu is used, it gives a very
dainty and attractive finish to the costume.
Sashes, frills, fchus, all such little acces-
sories are made just now and better
effect can be obtained with few gowns
and a generous number Of such additions
than with a limited number Of gowns
more elaborately made. Shadow laces
are very dainty and very fashionable and
they make the prettiest possible garnitures
for wear over lingerie fabrics.

dies can be closed invisibly or they can
be made quite elaborate with big rosettes
and bows to be equally in style. To be
really well dressed every detail must
be studied with care for a complete COS
tune is the work Of art in these days, but
that statement does not mean ANYTHING
beyond the reach Of the average woman.
1t is only necessary to study oneself and
to produce a becoming and, if possible,
slightly picturesque effect to be in the
height Of style. Sashes and headdress to
match mean a very smart effect. These
latest headdresses to be worn are MANY
Of them finished with bows just at the
left Of the back that stand up slightly and
give an effect of height, although the
plain band and the small rosette are quite
correct and in no feature OF dress is il
more necessary to study personal needs
than this one How often one sees a
woman charming in the afternoon with
her hair simply arranged and infinitely
less lovely at night with an elaborate
coiffure. The lines Of the head must be
studied and both the hair and the dress
ing arranged to suit them, to get the best
results. Study yourself, might well
be an AXIOM Of the woman who aims to
be well dressed, for only by studying
ones self can really good results be OBJ
tanned.
Flouncings and bordered materials are
30 varied that they include the whole

suggestive. The gown at the extreme left
shows the long sweeping lines that are so
attractive for afternoon and evening
occasions. Such model is adapted to
any material that can drape successfully
whether it is silk or cotton. In fact cotton
fabrics have been glorihed. Many Of
them are exquisitely beautiful and quite
costly enough to be classed among luxu-
nous. Cotton trimming with silk is a
feature OF the season and this particular
gown is made Of eyelet embroidered cot
ton marquisette with edges of messaline
Joined with hem-stitching, but silk would
be lovely so made, crepe de chine or the
soft chiffon taffeta, or a very lovely
gown could be made with the over-slcirt
and girdle Of taffeta and the draped
blouse and the panel Of the skirt of face
or chiffon or some similar material. Com
binations are utilized in almost every
known way so long as the effect of an
entire gown are maintained.
Lingerie gowns are for the most part
made with skirts that clear the ground.
Fichus and peplums are important fea-
lures and one Of the gowns illustrated
shows both. As will be seen the skirt is
narrow without exaggeration and the
trimming gives the effect Of elaboration,
yet fundamentally the lines are all simple
and plain.
Colored sashes and Eirdles on white
gowns are extremely smart and the gir-

range from wool to cotton and they srs
being very extensively worn. Such q
gown Of embroidered material as the one
illustrated is exceedingly smart yet il is
practical in the extreme, for there Is
almost no work In its making. The ma
terial makes its own finish and trimming
and It remains only to sew up the seams.
The marquisettes Of the season are very
exquisite and make elaborate gowns while
there are nuRberless simpler fabrics fn-
ished in border style that are adapted to
different occasions. Some Of the colored
voiles are very pretty and make lovely
afternoon gowns and just simple lawns or
batiste can be made most attractive.
Daintiness Is really the one crying need
OF the summer gown and that often is
obtained from the very simplest fabrics.
Bands Of ribbon and Of silk are being used
In various ways and often such a band
IS arranged under the lower edge Of the
skirt and under the edges Of the sleeves.
II not only gives a smart finish and throws
out the design but also is practical for 1t
saves the edges Of the gown from wear
and from soil. Such little touches are
things to be considered and remembered,
especially when it Is not easy to have
gowns cleaned quickly and properly. A
new ribbon or band can be easily sewed
into place and the use Of such means pro-
lection that will proIong the usefulness Of
the gown for generous length Of time.

travesties on the mode that are unfor.
tunate to an extreme degree.
Contrasts in color and in material are
in the height Of style Some Of the most
fascinating costumes to be seen show
effects that are unusual, which have been
selected with the greatest care. As lovely
dinner gown as any that this season Of
weddings and Of trousseaux has brought
forth is made Of howered white chiffon
over rose colored foundation and the
girdle is Of a rich deep blue. The shades
were selected with an artists eye and
each is foil Of the other. To suppose
that any blue can be put with rose color
would be absurdety no sooner do such
effects appear in the better costumes
than we are sure to see unfortunate and
distressing copies Of the idea. Unless
one is blessed with the keenest color
sense or has purse big enough to employ
consummate skill, the simpler effects are
the only safe ones. To attempt the
unusual is unwise and brings about only
unfortunate result.

fabrics. What is important in the seIec-
ton Of frock Of the sort Is soft material
that will take graceful folds and lines.
Such additional fuIlness as we are allowed
is found in the shape Of the skirts rather
than in the width at the lower edge.
There IS something of the tendency to
make little fuIlness at the waist line but
this is only pretty when the material Is
90 soft that It does not mean appreciable
bulk. Mercerized batiste trimmed with
valenciennes lace are the materials that
make the second dress and very pretty
and dainty It is. The third example Is
made from marquisctte over howered
foundation and the sash matches one Of
the colors found in the flowers. Young
girls are wearing 50 many frills and lace
about the neck and sleeves that they
really present most dainty and attrac-
tive appearance and this last dress is as
pretty as possible in an altogether girlish
way.
Every now and then it is stated that
sleeves sewed to the armhoIes have super
seded those in kimono style but that
statement isnot correct. The best designs,
the prettiest dresses, show the sleeves and
body parts in one. The lines are graceful,
they are found attractive and becoming
and fashionable women will not give them
up. In smart gowns this summer, lines
must be straight and the slender effect
must be maintained, but apart from those
two essential demands there Is much op-
portunity for individual taste Little
frocks, such as the last one illustrated, are
very dainty and charming and they can
be worn over different slips for different
occasions. Clever girls fnd that such
dresses made Of transparent materials,
such as voile and marquisette, make prac-
teal investment for if plain and figured
slips are provided they give the effect of
several toilettes. For the under-slips,
the close fitting princess model is the
best one, for, whatever fullness is found,
must be in the thin outer material.
Everything that is quaint and dainty
is fashionable, therefore handwork and
embroidery are extremely smart. A
dress that is made with hand-sewed hem
and tucks is infinitely Gaintier and pref
tier than an elaborate one that is machine
sewed. Often there is little color intro
duced in the embroidery work upon a
white gown to give very distinctive

N of living woman has there been a
greater opportunity for providing
a graceful, attractive and becoming
wardrobe. Styles have just reached their
state of perfection. We have grown away
from exsggerations, we have acquired
slender lines and materials are ravishinely
beautiful. Given such a combination, It
requires only discretion to produce good
results. In a general way there is a Ger
tain quaint effect that prevails and that
is very charming and attractive. 1t is
just little suggestive Of old time condi-
tions and of some of the illustrations over
which we have smiled but we only take
suggestions from past days, We do not
copy what has gone, and while We are
using the taffeta Of our grandmothers and
while We are. trimming with the little
ruches and frills and the like, we keep
our skirts narrow and straight Of line
and the general silhouette remains much
like that Of winter. Paniers have been
introduced and will be worn for many
occasions but the simpler gowns are the
preferred ones. Flounces and bordered
materials are conspicuous and whenever
they are worn it is easy to arrange the
costume. Tunic effects as well as genuine
tunics are being worn and the draped
blouse is an extremely fashionable one.
The group of costumes illustrated is

Happily white is to be extensively worn
throughout the entire season both upon
the street and within doors and as was
said by NJ. Worth, ST., white was the
friend Of woman from cradle to old age.
In these days It Is found in 90 many
varying shades and gradations that there
is some especial tint adapted to every
complexion and white costumes are among
the prettiest and becoming to be found.
Atlantic City on Easter day always sounds
the note OF the coming season and more
white tailored suits were to be seen. than
those Of any other kind. Serge is the un-
questioned favorite for the much simpler
ones and often serge is trimmed with
tafeta or satin to become elaborate in
effect. Wide vale serge In cream tone
were most conspicuous and white high
shoes the necessary accompaniment. As
a safe general rule, hats however, are of
color and in the hats is found an oppor-
tunity for individual expression and
taste.

colors and fabrics in new and often in
daring ways, the woman with unskilled
eye and who is unable to pay for expert
advice, must needs be wary If she hopes
for success. One of the cleverest and
best known designers that this bic
city affords declares that the French
woman always considers herself first and
the style as related to herself, whereas
the American woman thinks fashion
flrst and herself as related to fashion.
As result Of the difference of the point
Of view we on this side Of the sea often
fail to present that perfect ensemble for
which our French cousins are noted. No
woman can be thoroughly well dressed
who has not chosen her wardrobe with
direct reference to her own figure and her
own needs and the more styles are varied
the more intricate they are, the more
palpable does that truth become. lust
now one can see lovely pictures presented
by women OF wealth and Of the highest
taste and many equally beautiful ones
of simpler nature but we also can see

THERE Is always certain facination

can be treated in lingerie style are many
and consequently dresses Of the sort. are
unusually attractive and charming. Color
on white or any combination with white
makes an important feature Of prevailing
fashions and a great many Of the muslin
frocks are worn with coiored sashes or
over colored slips or show some color in
troduced in the trimming; but, while that
is true, all white Is quite correct and is
always dainty, charming and essentially
youthful. Three dresses illustrated are
typical Of prevailing fashions. One is
made with tunic and hchu while the others
are in simple semi-princesse style. The
day Of the separate blouse and skirt ad-
justed one on the other upon the wearer
belongs to the past. Every really nice
dress Is made in semi-princesse style, that
is to say, the blouse and the skirt are
joined at the waist line, but just how
these joinings shall be made becomes
entirely matter Of taste. In case of
tunic effects, the tunic and blouse fire.
quently are made together to be adjusted
over the separate skirt.
Marquisette and voile are favorite ma
terials and they are exceedingly lovely
and charming, but the fine lawns and
batiStes never 60 out Of style and are to
be Just as much worn as ever. Fichu
effects are among the smartest possible.
They are always pretty and becoming
and they give just the suggestion Of
quaintness that is so noticeable in the
seasons fashions. The tunic dress illus
trated Is made with a hchu that is all Of
lace while the tunic Is edged with the
same trimming and worn over a plain
skirt. For skirts Of this kind various
styles are liked but the two-piece skirt
is a great favorite. II is being continually
stated that skirts are growing wider. In
a sense that is true, but wider is only q
term and two yards Is all
that is allowed for young girls and for
small women. The dress in the illuStra-
ton is made Of marquisette with lace over
a skirt Of meSsaline and it is worn with
girdle Of blue satin while the same satin is
used for the rosettes. One Of the most in
terestlng features Of the present season,
however, is its variety and the tunic and
the skirt can be made from many different
