sons The cotton crepes and mar
qu!settes are being much worn by
both old and young women. and some
OF the frocks in these materials are
altogether charming, the marqu sette
being preferred for more elaborate
frocks. although II Is used, too, for
very simple models.
Occasionally a fine white crepon
has some original feature which gives
1t character. one very pretty little
white crepon, for instance has en-
broidery above the hem of its straight,
clinglng tunic and little separate clus-
ters Of cherries in their natural col
ors and a girdle of cherry color en-
circles the waist, but there is no 9TH
er touch of any color.
The cotton voiles are even prettier
than the crepons for youthful frocks
having the same servicable, nom
crushable qualities and lending them
selves rather more readily to applied
trimmings and self-trmmngs. These
voiles are good in dainty striped de-
signs-white with a hairline stripe Of
pink or blue or cerise, and some of
the most attractive frocks in such ma
terial have the stripe cleverly used as
a trimming and for further decora
tion, tiny frills of fine white linen,
which give a crisp freshness to the
soft, filmy frock.
Dainty striped silks are made up in
similar ways and often without the
frills the only relief other than the
SIX ful handling of the stripe con-
ssting of some bits of fine embroid-
cred muslin about the bodice in the
shape Of collars and cuffs. These
striped silks are particularly fresh and
pretty in taffeta, but are shown in ra-
diums and other supple lightweight
silks. In taffeta, too, there are wild
er stripes in white and colors, but
the pin stripes have a more youthful
air. and are pretty In pin checks, too,
though these do not make up so well
as the stripes.
Striped gauZe. chiffon, mousel' ne.
etc, are successfully made up over
white, in simple fashion with girdle
of color and are youthful and delecta-
bic for afternoon or informal evening
wear. An attractive frock of this
type. suitable for casino or country
club wear is of blue and white gauzy
matera hung very simply over u
white foundation and trimmed in
sheer linen embroidered in broderie
Anglise. The blue is of the bluet
tone. but the white beneath it softens
it slightly. Around the waist is a
grlle of flaming poppy red and with
the frock is worn a big flapping
brimmed white trimmed in bluets and
poppies.
Eponge of the cotton and linen var
ieties has won a firm hold upon fem
mime favor as have the tissue eponge
and eponge neigeuse (white flecked.)
Suits of all white eponge are worn
by many women as substitutes for lin
en- and the material looks fresh even
longer than the loose woven crashes
and the soft ramie linens.
For shirt and coat costumes not
only the white eponge but the colors
are popular. particularly soft dull
blues. khaki and lighter brown tones
running up the scale TO buff and biege
and ecru and some good old rose
and red shades. The blues strictly
Ia lored and relieved by white at
throat and cuffs and by white pearl
buttons, are delightful and very SER
viceable and have enough body to
give service well into the early fall.
Light Weight Materials.
Light weight woolen eponge mate
rials are likely to he used this au-
tumn in much the same fashion. and
heavier agaric weaves in wool are
being shown and promise to have a
vogue as a trimming in the autumn
and winter season. Combined with
lighter smoother surfaced woOlens
they will be admirable. Returning to
the question of the coat and suit, the
modified cutaway costume of white
serge is in evidence wherever the
