will have difficulty in being stylish. The
simple, slender, sylphlike girl is all the
rage.
Hats Also Are Flimsy.
Another of the added attractions of
the summer girl of 1913 is the butterfly
hat Just as women's gowns at the pres
ent moment are made of the filmiest.
flimsiest, and the most wispy material.
SO also their hats are Of the ightest
character. Many of them seem to con-
sist merely of a huge outstanding bow
of tulle, attached to a little bag of trans
parent tulle just large enough to sit on
the head
A few of these butterfly" hats weigh
as much as an ounce. Ten Of these
myths" costing SIS per, will only last
as long as two straws at the same price.
The life of many of these butterfly
hats is estimated at day. for after a
shower they resemble a shapeless mass
of wet tissue paper.
The new parasol loaned" by the Chi
nese is shaped somewhat like a pagoda,
with terraces, and it is sharply pointed
and droops like the top of a Chinese
temple. Although odd, 1t is very con-
venient to hide under while carrying on
a summer filtration, and most of the 1913
summer girls will flirt a wee little bit;
and who could resist all of the foilies of
1913?
The present-day summer girls making
eyes at you from under the fringe of one
OF the new-fangled parasols Is as ire
sistible as the summer girls Of yore, and
all of the follies of the seashore and the
full quota of summer romances are to be
repeated ere the cooling breezes of fall
cause the retirement of the 1913 summer
glory.

That old saying ct Is the same old
girl, with the same old curl" s nc
longer appropriate. The summer girl Of
1913. now in our mist. has discarded all
frills and answering the call Of back to
nature" appears in the sirnplified garb
which has done much to complicate do
mestic life in many homes
OF course, 1t all depends upon the YER
sion you place upon the "simplifed,
whether you will admit the summer girl
of this season is brand new article In
bygone days the summer girl adorns her
person with ruffles and other fluffy
things to such an extent that it would be
hard to guess her weight, but the girl
of the present day has "simplifed''
things, she leaves nothing to your tmag-
ination.
She certainly cannot be accused OF
false pretenses, for never before has
there been impressed upon US such a
vivid idea of what style must have been
in the Garden Of Eden.

One has to stand but a few minutes
on F Street before this simplified dress
is apparent or rather transparent.
Shortly there will pass a girl you never

be all curves, is now but shadow OF
her former self. Even the coyness Of
the smile which captivated you in by

and all her curves, and arrayed in

The new style girl scarcely can be said
to be less attractive than the old. In
fact she Is something Of a new creature.
She seems interesting.
The three-cornered emile Is her very
recentest. The F Street Johnnies, many
who Just have returned from their two

day smiling three cnrneredly at those
who pass. A new tnree-cornered bow in

angular smile.
The abseIce of bust, hips, and coyness
is another feature of the present-day
summer girl. She is utterly without them.
