Wishing Sash

WASHINGTON. June 21.-The
wishing sash" which must never be
united until the wish you made while
tying it around the waist comes
true, has arrived. Miss Dorothy
Williams, sister of Mrs. Joseph Lei
ter, was the first society belle here to
wear it,
The sash. a Balkan style. is most
effectively worn with white dresses. A
single reef around the waist, it drops
way below the knee and is tied in a
true sailors knot there. As naval
men alone seem to have the lnack of
tying these knots, they are very pop
ular just now.

THE array Of summer petticoats is
almost endless. one practical
sort is made Of crepe de chine in
soft. clinging quality, with d nounce
Of messaline. These petticoats are
made in rose color and golden yellow
and japanese blue. Another charm
ing warm day petticoat is made OF
thin printed silk figured in blue or
pink, and made with a tucked tlounce.
The tucks running roundabout, give
the fiounce just the small amount Of
stiffness IL needs.
White felt hats are to be a favorite
form of headgear for warm weather
wear. TIE felt is thin and smooth and
the hats are Of stuff, trim outline.
They are simply trimmed, many Of
them with straw one, bound about
the edge Of the brim with white straw
braid. is adorned with a dead white
silk bow az the back Another IS
banded about the crown with white
straw edged with yellow and a quill
OF the straw is fastened at one side.
Still others are banded with black and
oolored straw braid Of loose weave.
All white wells OF lace can be worn
gracefully with these hats.
One Of the whims Of fashion is the
placing OF black bows at the back of
the neck instead Of at the front The
bows are fiat and tailored in effect and
the frinsed ends reach to the waist.
This method Of placing bows seems 10
be in line with the tendency to gather
the skirt in the front and leave it
plain in the back.
Removable buttons are a feature OF
some lingerie gowns and blouses. The
buttons. of bone. are taken out when
the gown is Numbered. They are well
made OF highly finished bone and al
though they are much Ike the studs
which women wore when shirt waists
first came into being they are made to
lie fiat on the surface Of the material.
June is the month for daisies and
daisies are 20 some extent taking the
place Of roses on hats and summer
frocks one lovely white lace dress,
made over yellow, shows bunch OF
huge white daisies with yellow plush

black or white hats are trimmed with
% wreath of these homely flowers. The
fad for wearing them is not wide

For the past few years il has been

one "fops;" for without any support
for the muscles, IT is a difficult mat
ter TO do anything else. The outline
of the average woman is none too dis
tinguished, yet the designers declare
that the untrammeled body shows
grace and consequently suppleness,
and that is evidently all these mighty
powers seek at present
