Black charmeuse is enjoying con-
tinued popularity this summer. The
detailed accounts If the gowns worn
by the most fashionable women at the
French and the English races have
fairly bristled with the word black"

pensable frill Of the wired ruffie form

uine novelty is the tailored net blouse.
II sounds impossible. but Il was really
extremely attractive. IL is made OF
two thicknesses Of the net and all
the seams are Of the openwork stitch
ing. II has a notched revers or col
lar forming a pointed opening at the
neck, and the sleeves are long, with
regular shlrtwaist cuffs, turned back
at the wrist and fastening with link
buttons
Quite novelty are the new satin
finished beaver hats Of a modified
sailor shape with a rather narrow
straight brim and somewhat high
rounded crown. The most attractive
ones are in white; but they are shown
In black also They are generally
trimmed with a grosgrain band to
match. having a picot edge and tied
IN fiat bow, with several loops, sdi-
rectly in the back
The persistent vogue Of the soft
satin crown has been one Of the sur
prises OF the season II was a pro-
nounced feature OF the early MILL

popularity that il was very soon
avoided by careful buyers. but after

those also who wish 20 achieve tho
new figure in the easiest way. The
modern corsets stop about two inches
above the natural waist line I'm front
and about three inches and a half in
the back. A very slim figure can de-
pend on these supports alone. but the
majority Of women use a brassiere In
stead of a corset cover The truth =
that the latter garment is going away
as the muslin petticoat did; and as
Knockers are taking the place OF the
petticoat. so are brassieres taking the
place Of the ribboned and ruffled cor
set cover Of fine handiwork.
A new skirt for outing wear. espe-
cially suitable for tennis, is made OF
cotton corduroy. uique or linen. II
appears 20 be made of the prevailing
narrow lines, which would make the
running and jumping necessary IN

absorb the heat rays. For this reason
