are added when a sash Of plaid ribbon

There is a fad for trimming some or
the black hats with blue ribbon bows,
and 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
iugs and a sash Of brown MORE or
tulle, the effect is really artistic.
Separate skirts Of cotton eponge
have had "a tremendous sale, and
many Of the well-dressed girls at
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

gathered into a belt in the back,

petticoat now Is eXquisitely fitted, and

with a sheer frock, the pettcoat does
not reach below the top or the but

Flesh-ti Innings in yokes have
become such a frenzy with feminine
folk that the craze has spread even
to lingerie. The latest niRhtgOwn is
Of thin batiste with lace yoke lined
with fiesh-tinted net This yoke
reaches to below the arms. and, in
stead OF being attached to the gown
under a ribbon beading, a garland
OF tiny, pale pink roses covers the
seam. The short lace sleeves are also
looped mp with pink silk roses.
Sweaters show more variety than
they once did. one may have them
any length from hip length to full
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
lar TO match.
Jet ornaments are popular on light
summer frocks. The lighter the frock

So far this season one has not seen
