SUMMER CLOTHES NOW In ORDER
One-Piece Dresses in Col
ors, White for Separate
Skirts and Waists.
LEATHER BELTS
AGAIN IN FASHION

OF the separate skirt and shirt waist
while the pretty one-piece Dress 90
for general wear will be made Of
some colored fabric.
This illustration shows one of the
most attractive OF the latter. With the
new draped effect at the sides. Dark
blue foulard was used for this gown
the waist and sleeves prettily trim
med with navy-blue satin bands at
neck aud sleeves. Large buttons at
the front OF the waist and a grdle
Of blue silk cord with tassels arc the
finishing touches.
Foulard and taffeta will also be seen
in many Of the summer coat suits
and it Is not thought necessary now
that these coats be lined The seams
are neatly bound with silk binding
and no crinoline is used except the
merest strip iR collar and cuffs. For
the woman who feels undressed on
the street in a thin blouse without
coat. the foulard suit will be entirely
adequate to the situation, being al
most as cool as tho blouse while
making the dress inconspicuously
conventional.
The separate white skirt is a JOY
this summe.. II has gotten away
from the dead monotony Of white
linen, and appears in splendid d.
versity OF duck, pique, Bedford cord,
whipcord, serge and satin--a suni-
cient range, you sec, TO please every
body. These skirts are made q littls
wider than last year, with trimming
features Of panels and small inset
cores or pleats. but without the bout

piece or more formal frock. Pique
and Bedford cord are popular and
make handsome skirts which return
with the charm Of renewed youth
from the necessarily frequent visits
o. the tub.
Serge is not as useful as il might
be because Of the need OF oft repeated
trips 10 the professional cleaner but
with care in wearing and protection
from dust while hanging in the closet,
the expense of renovation may be re-
duced TO the minimum Satin comes
high in the first cost, and also needs
frequent cleaning, but then If one in
dulges in that II is for best" and It
doesn't get out as often as the more
adventurous pique OF duck
The blouses worn with these nattp
skirts are OF the sheerest lingerie or
handkerchief linen. They are trimmed
with a great deal of embroidery and
lace, the lace used this year being
either Cluny or French shadow lace.
A fancy or colored embroidery pre-
walls, especially il done by hand and
the up-to-dete summer girl will in
elude in her wardrobe one OF two
waists OF this sort A very chic one
recently noted was worked in an ex-
ceedingly rich combination OF mauve,
rose, powder blue and gold while an
other attractive blouse shows an ORR
entail design developed in coral, green
and gold
The liking for the separate skirt and
blouse has made the belt an important
consideration. Leather belts are in
asain, very narrow ones for stout fig
ures and very wide ones for the slen-
i der girl. Black patent leather is ponu-
j lar, especially with sailor or MILDLY
suits but a pretty fancy Is to wear a
belt Of colored suede which matches
the tie and shoes and stockings worn
with white skirt and shirt waist
Sashes too, are very stylish. and worn
l with blouse suits and serni-princess
