this little embroidered linen coat
could scarcely be imagined and these
coats are sure to be very popular
by midsummer.

but one need not necessarily choose
a picture hat unless that type il be-
coming. There are dashing and chic
small hats intended for wear with
such costumes and one OF these hats Is
pictured-a new tam crown model

facing of black velvet and one of the
brush pompons which are made OF
ostrich and look like huge tassels,
pointing straight out over one ear.
Only a pretty face could stand this
hat, but the style is wonderfully smart
and modern. The picture hat trimmed

this style which always will be worn

you see-but one must behold this
wonder himself, in order to appre-
ciate it, SO the scribe forbears to re-
late what is revealed.
For older folk there are all man
ner of Easter trinkets and gifts;
some of them quite inexpensive and
others ranging up to very respectable
cost. Among the smaller souvenirs
are little pincushions of velvet set in
the backs of silver chicks. There are
also Easter eggs of silver which open
to show tiny vanity outfit inside, or
an arrangement for coins. These
silver eggs are provided with rings to
be attached to the guard chain or
chatelaine. In the book shops there
are exquisitely bound prayer books
and hymnals and the monogram of
the recipient may be stamped in gold
or illuminated on the white vellum
covers. In the books are bookmarks
of white satin ribbon with tiny silver
crosses at the end.
The hostess finds many effective
devices for making her Easter
luncheon appropriate in decoration.
There are bunny candle shades; place
cards on which are painted in water
color spring hats of chic design, and
all sorts of dainty baskets and boxes
to hold candles and sailed almonds.
For the serving of ices there is
charming device in the shape of
long. slender silver tube attached to
standard. In this tube is inserted
the stem of an Easter lily; paraf1ne
paper is laid inside the flower and
the deep cup is filled with ice cream
or ice. Cut up grapefruit could also
be served in this manner. Individual
ices are served by caterers in Easter
bonnets OF spun sugar: or If one pre-
fers. little spun sugar baskets may be
used instead of the bonnets.

M are the new costumes OF linen,
batiste, wolfe, crepe and other
49, washable" materials. intended
for afternoon wear this summer. These
fabrics are called washable" one
presumes because of their admixture
Of cotton. The moment a thread of
silk or of worsted creeps into a weave
the fabric is hustled out of the cot
ton-goods department and finds a
place among materials not supposed
to have anything to do with soap
and water. Even If the new sum-
mer fabrics are not afraid of q good,
honest tubing, however, their in
tricate cut and elaborate trimmings
of lace, embroidery, velvet and but
tons would preclude all idea of any
such manner of freshening and IL the
handsome afternoon costume of such
character is tubbed at all, 1t will be
tubbed at the dry cleaners.
There are two sorts OF lingerie
fabrics now-the heavier linens,
crashes, piQues and bedford cords of
which tailored costumes are fashion
ed; and the clinging, soft-as-chi
stuffs like batiste, null, wolfe, mar
quisette and crepe which go into the
making of diaphanous frocks. There
is a fancy for garnishing even the
tailored costumes with quantities of
insertions OF f1iet, cluny and other
heavy laces make simply cut linen
suits very dressy affairs indeed. The
lines of such costumes follow the
lines prescribed for tailored suits Of
worsted, silk and mohair; and coats
are short and gay, in cutaway effect,
over straight, narrow skirts, short
enough to reveal the feet. OF course
with all such summer costumes white
footwear is the requirement and this
season very trim boots of white buck
skin, with tall tops buttoned with
pearl buttons, are considered the
grand chic. These white buclxskin
boots are much prettier than the
white canvas styles. for the soft
buckskin fits instep and ankle like a
glove and the leather conforms, in
more supple fashion to the lines OF
daintily shaped sole and heel than
does the stiff canvas. There are also
pale tan suede boots and creamy
satin boots for wear with lingerie
costumes in the new champagne and
ecru colorings which are particularly
fashionable this season.

lingerie materials just off clear white
i'm other words, in tones of cream,

favor than white stuffs which seem
to suggest the ministrations of a
laundress. These creamy tan shades
are very subtle and very smart, but
somehow they lack the freshness and
purity of clear white which is at
its best against a background of sum-
mer green or the blue of a summer
sea. One or two ecru batiste cos
