and caught on the left hip by a brass
buckle, the ends hanging free. This
fashion of draping the hips is one of
the most attractive style feature of the
season. Sashes, however, of Futurist,
| Bulgarian or other modern silks, are
not used ON lingerie frocks. They are
seen only on the heavier, more service
able fabrics, as crash, agaric, ratine
and linen. Ribbons in delicate tones
and in French colorings, pink and pale
blue, are de rigueur for the charming
lingerie dresses of net, fine batiste and
flouncing, and also for those Of shad-
ow lace. If a more vivid tone is re-
quired, apple-green or turquoise-blue
Is allowable.
The desire for brilliant color effects
in street costumes has made fashion
able the cotton brocades. The quality
Of this material has, no doubt, had
much to do with its popularity. OF
delightful suppleness, it lends itself
with charming effect to the soft drap-
cries that are so artistic. The color
effects, too, in this sheer cotton are
original and charming. From it are
fashioned dainty blouses and lovely
loosely-fitted jackets on Russian, Bal
kan and semi-negligee lines, which are
woven with lingerie frocks or with
separate skirts in white and pastel
tones. Their ultimate purpose is

wide hip draperies, and drawn-in hem
provide the correct silhouette. This
broad hip is effected in many ways.
Gathers, flouncings, pleatings, draped
TUNES and overskirts, hang full and
free, or are attached to the foundation.
They are made either of similar ma
terial to that of the foundation or of
satin, plain or printed crepe, chiffon,
mousseline de sole or wolfe. Peplums
attached to the blouses carry out the
same idea The close-fitting peplum
or tunic is almost of the past. Accord
ion and side-pleats, and much gathers
have superseded them.
But 1t is the practical garment which
make the greatest appeal, not the
over-elaborate one. This is true alike
of jacket, wrap or dress. What could
be more charming or practical than
this lingerie frock? 1t was developed
in embroidery f1ouncing. The bodice,
with fronts and founcing and decided
droop at the waistline, may have open
ing back or front, as desired. The
lower sleeves, fitting snugly to the
arms and inserted at the dropped
/ shoulder lines are made of shadow
lace. The vest Is also of shadow lace
The two-piece skirt, with slight drap-
cry at side-front and back, is of fiounc-
ing. A narrow girdle of Gobelin-blue
ribbon, with white stripe, finishes the
costume.
These simple little afternoon frocks
prove the greatest boon to womankind.
1t is only the business woman who
needs to don a tailored frock before
breakfast to wear all day. The woman
of more or less leisure must have some
thing a little more distinctive for
afternoon wear. In it she may be at
peace with herself and her environ
ment. She Is not the active individual
that the woman OF affairs is obliged to
be.
During midsummer days all the
world and his wife loves the open, and
such charming gowns for out-of-doors
are a real delight. Not the least i'm
portant feature Of the summer wash
dress or blouse is the extensive use Of
buttons. Never has the demand fol
