The Vogue Of Tulle

Quantities OF tulle are being used this
year. The latest idea is TO have as trim
ming for the hat a ruche OF tulle Of er-
actly the same shade. One particularly
stunning hat In purple was small model,
fitting the head closely. II had high
peaked ruche of tulle encircling the crown
and standing erect. very much as the
headdress of the Indian Is arranged A
bow of MORO ribbon in peculiar blue, a
queer old Chinese blue with purplsh
tinge. trimmed tho hat in the back and q
cluster OF tiny pink rosebuds was bal
anced on the brlm 'itte 20 one side Of
the front.
The neck ruche. matching this hat, was
a closely fitting affair. very similar to the
fur collarettes of the winter and Was
fashioned from the purple tule with
lining of blue tulle I'm the same shade as
the ribbon used on the hat II was
fastened I'm the back by a large row OF
the blue moire ribbon, with stfeamers
which fell Quite 10 the vaistline, ana al
intervals small pink rosebuds pecped out
Similar ruches and hats can be procured

Another ruche is known as the LIZA
bethan ruche. and is made from p.eated
stiff white mousseline. II Is very very
fun. and from a distance one might De

ostrich ruche. II is made On generous

ribbon and ostrich feathers are the IA
vored modes of trimming. Flowers are
the most sprnglike. and this season they
promise to be plentifully used. They may
be used as garlands, in clusters. or as one
single. large. beautiful flower. An eX-
quislte Easter lily. perched on the brim
OF leghorn hat. made a most effective
trimming.
Clusters of vari-colored flowers In the
pretty. dull almost faded tones are seen
on many OF the new hats: sometimes they
form the base for a mount of aigrettes or
feathers: again they will nestle either
under, or on the edge. OF the brim. as Is
illustrated In the leghorn shown in the

THE GREEK SANDAL.

Another fashionable afternoon shoe
which comes into vogue by an introduc-
ton from Paris Is the modern Grecian
sandal. with ribbons crossed and wound
around the ankle. II is not going to be
a difficult undertaking for any woman TO
adopt this style, for all she requires Is a
pair OF black patent leather pumps with
Louis Nv heels and black moire or Sros-
grain ribbon about half an inch wide. II
she desires TO wear this effect with a
white lingerie frock she may substitute
colorcd ribbons matching one of the color
notes in the costume. The ribbon is
scwed TO either side of the front of the
pump and wound around the ankle. II
may be tied in n perky little bow or
drawn through slides. II is possible TO
buy these slides IN this country In several
odd designs. Some are of platinum set
with rhinestones and others Of gilt with
colored stones
Another method Of getting the same ef-
feet is 10 buy a pair Of oxford ties with
facets set very far apart and the tongue
taken out. The ribbon is then crossed in
the same way that the shoe would ordi-
narily be laced but instead Of tying
small bow the rbtons are wound around
the ankle and tied higher up. The orna-
ments or slides can be used with these
shoes quite as successfully as with the
pumps, and two or three pairs are often
used AT one time

The woman who longs to bear the repu-
tation of being well dressed must giyo
special thought and attention this season
10 her footgear II IS impossible 10 hide
behind the skirts OF to-day limiting, I'M
BACKED shoes with rundown heels Tho
short, slashed skirts arc franknoss itselt
and scorn to offer any protection TO tho
feet II IS just as important TO PROVIDE
smart shoes and stockings as II is TO buy
good-looking gown; in fact, they com
plement each other as integral parts Of
the whole. and the handsomest frock can
be ruined from the fashion viewpoint by
poor footwear.
The black, white and tan shoes OF other
DAYS seem commonplace beside the col
ored footgear OF the hour. and tho women
who held up their hands I'm horror at the
vulgarity Of colored shoes. as they ex-
pressed II. year or so ago arc wearing
them with the same nonchalance That
they assumed toward the more conserva-
tive black and white shoes
To he sure one sees some very good
looking black and white footgear. both
high buttoned boots and pumps. but they
are not considered as chic ana up-to-date
as their rcplicas in color. While speaking
Of white shoes It might be interesting 10
call attention to a new material which Is
not a leather at ALL but white Egyptian
cloth In appearance this cloth closely re-
sembes buckskin' or suede and cleans
quite as easily. though the manufacturers
insist that II is impervious to water. mud
or dust. It is used for both high boots
and low shoes. with buckles Of tfe mate
rial and covered heels.
There are also clever combinations Of

STRIPED SKIRT AND PLAIN COAT

Another popular combination shows "A
skirt of a striped eponge or linen ana
coat of the plain goods. For instance. the
skirt may be of blue and white striped
linen and the coat of blue linen with
reveres and cuffs of the striped material
Still another combination calls for the
plain skirt and brocaded jackets. The
uncut cotton velvet and broche, eponge
or cotton matelasse, as II is variously
called. make very handsome Jackets
even entire costumes. and are dressy
I enough to wear 10 afternoon teas ana
| similar social. functions. The third girl N
the sketch is wearing a costume Of this
kind with a skirt of the plain white
eponge and a jacket of the matelasse.
The skirt IS draped TO the left side. leav-
ing the straight, unbroken line at the
right which is always effective.
There is Just a hint of the Russian
blouse i'm the coat. though the raised
waistline is more typical OF the Empire
style This new line is marked by cord,
! which IS twisted to make motifs at either
! side of the low fastening. There is a per-
ceptible bagginess and blousey looseness
/ 10 the upper part of the jacket, though
the skirt portion fits the hips smoothly,
with the slightest hint Of flare at the
sides. Slender women with girlish figures
will be enthusiastic over the box pieats'
which take away the very plain effect OF
the fronts. The inevitable color note Is
/ lent by the reveres and cuffs of cretonne.
! This fad for utilizing cretonne has de-
veloped so rapidly that the more daring
designers do not hesitate to FASHION ehtlre
costumes from 1t, while jackets are every
day occurrences. They are exceedingly
effective and will add to the gayety OF
fashionable assemblages this summer IT,
! fact. the garden parties of 1913 VIII be
noted i'm the annals of the future as wol-
derful studies in color. for the green land
scape will act as background to throw
into relief all the vivid colorings of the
Futurists the Post-lmpressionsts ana
other rabid color enthusiasts.

the dainty new corsets in pink suedine

bit gay. but they are so very pretty and
delightfully."- feminine that they are sure
to be adopted by lovers OF the beautiful
Of all ages. Several styles have been
fashioned from these two materials. so
that the older women may find any type
suitable for them. A simple but effective
finish OF shirred ribbon or silky braid
gives the decorative touch To wear with
these oorsets there is brassiere OF silk
finished in the same way. There are no
bones In this brassiere. the cut produc-
ing the necessary support for the bust.

slippers are those Of gold and silver It's

The new silhouette is also produced by

the way, is as variable as ever. On some
