of this arrangement is by no means
always attractive.
Buttons are used extensively at the
present time and crystal buttons and
those covered with material, seem to
be in the lead. The colored crystal
buttons are used on many OF the tall
ored suits, even those in heavy, dark
materials. But they also ornament
the sheerest of blouses and lingerie
frocks. AS for the covered buttons,
they are of all kinds. Some are so
tiny that, when they are set in row
they look, at little distance like an
irregular cord or braid. Others are
fiat and larger than a silver quarter.
Buttons of several different sizes but
of the same material and shape are
used on the same dress. On white
waists or dresses, trimmed with color,
crystal buttons with rim of the same
color are sewed on with silk to match.
The ways In which color is COM
bined with white waists and lingerie
frocks are endless and generally most
attractive. Cheruit is to be thanked
for giving us the flesh-colored net lin
ing of transparent waists. This faint
undertone of rose is very alluring. One
finds it not only in the thin waists but
also in wraps and blouses of exceed
ingly white satin.
The fancy for fastening some of the
trimmings to the lining bodice, where
they show through the outer bodice
of net or chiffon or lace, is firmly
rooted One lovely bodice of white
finely pleated chiffon shows a band OF
cerise ribbon drawn across the back,
under the arms, across the front and
emerging to tie in loose bow on the
chest Similarly, ribbon is bound
about the elbow under the chiffon, on
the thick silk under bodice and
energies to tie in a bow on each
sleeve,
Brocaded etamine is combined with
plain eponge in many interesting
ways. One summer frock shows
skirt of white eponge, banded at the
bottom with yellow and white brocad
ed etamine. The bodice cut with &
peplum, is made Of the etamine ant
opens over a vest of white net witt
plated frills running from the wais
to round the neck. The girdle Is O
folded ribbon in violet, yellow and dull
blue colors tremendously blended ant
softened.
Wash silk petticoats are a usefu
addition to any wardrobe, be 1t limited
or not They are made Of somewho
heavy silk. Silk and cotton, so-calle'
tub silk, is almost as durable as heav
all-silk material and is more durable
; for petticoats, at least, than cheap al
| silk. The petticoats are made Il
+. striped patterns with scant bia
