seem that this summer fancy has by
no means exhausted the love OF the
filmy material and for that reason,
ever so many of the Paris creations
that have been designed for wear

of maline. The maline hats of the

general plan of the hat.
With the true Partisan perversity,
fashionable women are already in the
middle of summer, wearing velvet
hats with their filmiest of summer
toilettes-of soft silk, lace or machine
embroidery-an the first watt of au-
tumn that has come through the Gus
toms house is bringing us innumerable
little designs of soft and luxurious
velvet, in all the phases of fall hats

and that we recognize as alluringly
French-velvet of the fall and maline

While enticing little chapeaux of
maline have been the vogue of the
Paris tea rooms during the warm sea-

their pretty heads with creations of

ut is the unusual woman who,
when packing the vacation trunk,
- does not slip into some nook or
Granny a bit of needlework for idle
hours. Perhaps she has not the
slightest intention of bending over
sewing-if there is other diversion
aplenty in prospect; but one never
can tell when a rainy day may come.
and If the summer resort should hap
pen to be not quite as gay as one
hopes-there is always the bit of
needlework to fall back upon. Most
women, moreover, who lead active
lives at home feel the need, after the
first glorious week of loafing and rest
ing is over, of some occupation. If
tennis, swimming or golf prove too
strenuous for sultry mornings, needle
work on the veranda will have it's
charm, and it is wise woman who

count and brings home after the sum-

stitches taken. Hens may be run with
a line of these tiny stitches II this is
easier than the palnstaking hemming

itself aristocratic these days unless 1t
is soft and fine enough to be drawn
through its wearer's bracelet; and not
often has machine-stitched garment
this soft quality.
The pantaloon pictured is of very
fine cotton null and the ruffies on this
particular model are accordion plait-
ed, the pantaloon having come from
shop of French extraction. Simple,
gathered ruffies, however, would be
quite as dainty, and will stand laun-

most elaborately with broad lace,
mitred into vandyke effect, and the
null is so soft that the garment has
little bulk at the waistline even though
slightly gathered at the back.
Null ia a trifle too transparent for
nightgowns, and nainsook, equally soft
in texture, is usually the material Sc

a woman who is not very tall. Meas

carpet around the feet. All daintily
made nightgowns are long enough to
cover the feet completely and the gar

wearer moves about. This gown
