a distant relative TO the stiff pique N
other years. as It is delightfully."- soft
and supple. The shirt is masculine
m cut with the exception Of the neck,
which is invariably finished by one Cf
the becoming rolling collars which
owe their origin to the days Of Marie
stuart. The correct finishing touches
are added when a sash Of plaid ribbon
and a cravat TO match are adjusted.
No matter how severe the skirt and
shirtwaist may be, the sash is sure 10
give the feminine touch.
The all black hat is the smart head
gear of the hour regardless OF inc
shape. and il is a practical choice Tor
che beach A black hat does not look
quite as summary or light as an all
white hat, but the sun can not damage
IL as II can one Of Colored straw, or
even one Of the natural tone straw,
which may become actually sunburn'.
There is "a fad for trimming some OF
the black hats with blue ribbon bows,
and a few Of the holder spirits among
the fashion leaders are appearing IN
brown straw hats. When the latter
are worn with brown shoes and stock
ings and sash Of brown MORE or
tulle. the effect is really artistic.
Separate skirts Of cotton eponge
have had q tremendous sale, an-7
many Of the well-dressed girls az
Newport and Tuxedo are wearing
them to the exclusion Of linen or the
durable cotton corduroy. which is be-
coming very common these days. The
two-piece model preserves the
straight, narrow silhouette, but does
not launder as well as the gored skirt,
which. when properly cut, should not
sag after washing. These skirts but
ton over the left hip and are slightly
gathered into a belt in the back,
which fastens with a buckle.
White serge. while not so service
able for rough usage as tub stuffs or
mixed tweeds, is altogether charming
for outing wear provided one can keep
il clean, and there are pretty ready
made suits, one piece froCks and
separate skirts Of white serge offered
at prices so reasonable that II does
not seem cXtTavagant TO have two or
three things of the Kind, and so be
able to spare one easily during It's
trip TO the cleaners.
All petticoats are as thin and soft
ransparent--unless the wearer stands
in strong sunlight Then sometimes
the effect Is rather startling. The
petticoat now is exquisitclv fitted, and
is as narrow as possible, having a
fiounce Of fine machine embroidery
at the foot Unless intended for wear
with a sheer froCk the petticoat does
not reach below the top Of the but
toned boot.
Flesh tinted Innings in yokes have
become such a frenzy with feminine
folk that the craze has spread even
TO lingerie. The latest nightgown is
of thin batiste, with a lace yoke lined
with flesh tinted net. This yoke
reaches TO below the arms, and, in
stead Of being attached to The gown
under a ribbon beading, n garland
of tiny. pale pink roses covers the
seam The short lace sleeves are also
looped up with pink silk roses,
Sweaters show more variety than
they once did. one may have them
any length from hip length TO fun
length and in many shapes. The Bull
garian lines are also in evidence
among the new sweaters this season,
The wide belt being usually OF some
contrasting color with cuffs and col

Both silk and satin are found in navy

in beige: the latter. Ike tan is being
widely used with black trimming and

Bead trimming, apparently. IS not
going out OF fashion. 4 recently

coat, the raw edge Of which is banded
with bright blue beads-the serge is
navy-embroidered in a struggling
