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

quite a novelty are the new satin

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

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 milu-
merry, and achieved such immediate
popularity that IL was very soon
avoided by careful buyers. But after
suffering a temporary eclipse il has
reappeared in white. with a white
straw brim or else a white satin brim
faced with colored straw. The trim
ming is usually an outstanding palm
tree feather in white or chic bow

Not only the women who are largely
developed 60 in for brassieres, but
those also who wish TO achieve the
new figure in the easiest way. The
modern corsets stop about two inches
above the natural waist line in 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 corset cover. The truth Is
that the latter garment is going away
as the muslin petticoat did; and as
Knockers are taking the place Of the
petticoat, so are hrassieres taking the
place of the ribboned and ruffled cor
set cover Of fine handiwork.

collars. some of them With deep, COM
Portable N-necks. Some OF them ara
made with a yoke and are shirred into

color usually worn.
Sweet simplicity should rule dress
for country wear. Clever little frOcks
may be easily fashioned. Two to four
gore skirts are attached to more or
less hmono blouses. Front fastenings
may be from the chin down.
For afternoon however there are
more ornate affairs Plain wolfe skirts,
with little lowered tunics, for in
stance, or white linen, silk or cloth
dresses. with coats OF gold, cerise,
rose. emerald, black or blue taffeta,
satin or wool, are very smart for fine
country wear
For golf tennis and ordinary coun-
try house wear. however, white is first
choice There are simple white dresses
and endless skirts OF white linen and
cotton Bedford cord with which are
worn sheer white waists. And this.
indeed. has been almost the uniform
of womankind during the last few
summers. To some il is not beCom-
ing. but if both the skirt and the waist
be perfectly fitted and good looking
they certainly look well on the ma
Jority OF women and girls This year
the shirtwaist girl must divide honors
with the one piece-dress girl.
The color goes long way toward
giving cool and refreshing air TO a
frock. There are certain Colors that
absorb the heat rays. For this reason
many women viewed with alarm the
vogue for brilliant Colors this spring
