this summer one sees an equal num-

Black and white, too, is exceedingly

are not reproducing any styles in
spite of that fact, for we have modi-
fed the fashions of the past to suit
our own needs, and we retain the
long slender lines. even while we are
using trimming that once meant f1ufh-
ness and breadth.
The Greek idea is apparent In many
ways, and every kind of simple
little tunic is worn. Those to match
the skirt are much liked, but they are
also frequently made of lace, chiffon
and other thin materials to be worn
over skirts of something q little thick
er and heavier.
We are using lace of almost every
kind, and often two sorts are COM
bined upon single costume; but in
general way it may be said that thin
hces are used upon heavy materials
and heavy laces upon thin materials.
Shadow lace and Chantilly lace are
extreme favorites among the thinner
sorts-Cluny, Irish and the new "a
tine, among the heavier ones, although
ratine is scarcely available for thin
fabrics, being especially suited to linen
and materials of similar kind.
Little blouses, or coates, in COM
bination with lingerie gowns are
very charming and very attractive,
and they are made from thin silk in
contrasting color. For garden parties

often very bright, such as cerise or
