THE last word in thin summer tel
q lettes, designed for the hot days Of
August, comes in the form OF this
combination Of transparent materials
and embroidered ne or heavy linen
with lace. Every detail of this cos
tune may be carefully considered.
from the transparent wide briInmed
hat of shirred maline, through the
elaborate neckpiece Of embroidered
net, the wide velvet girdle, the very
full tunic and the close-haBging under
skirt, bordered with embrcidered net,
not emitting the pumps of dull kid
with their snowy buckles. These fea-
lures embody the last evolution OF the
summers modes, and indicate what
we may expect for the coming fall.
The costume shows G fine eye for
selection rather than q desire TO be
original. There are several new
touches in the minor details, such as
the new form of side comb in the
hair, the very broad girdle of velvet
ribbon, and its adjustments about the
hips in the oriental fashion. The long
sleeves of wolfe indicate the liking for
long sleeves in thin fbrics which are
to be seen repeatedly in gowns of
heavier materials.
This gown is made OF sheer, fine
wolfe embroidered ia disks on the
lower half of the sleeves and about the
bottom of the tunic. The bodice.
which is bloused only a little. is Of

the wolfe also. The underpetticoat of
fine mousseline or organdie is finished
at the bottom with a wide border Of
embroidered net. This same net
makes the neckpiece, which consists
Of fchu and haring collar in one.
Any pattern in a lacegof bold design
may be substituted for the embroid-
cred net with equally good effect.
Handmade laces of linen braid are
especially appropriate if the costume
is intended for summer wear only.
This gown, made up as pictured here,
might easily be seryiceable at other
seasons Of the year, as wolfe and en-
year round.
It is worth noticing that the tunic
is quite full, but the fullness is not
increased by the addition of a ruffle at
the bottom. This rufle is of exactly
the same width as the body of the
tunic above it. 1t is finished with a
narrow plating of fine lace at the
bottom and a similar plating joins il
to the tunic skirt.
The parasol, Of embroidered t~affeta,
is edged with a rufle Oh chiffon and
completes an exquisite and refined in.
~terpretation of this summers modes.
There is no trace of any Of the
! freakish elements in the punching and
draping of materials about the figure
All the lines are uninterrupted and
therefore graceful.

NIGHT DRESSES designed for sum
IN mer are made Of the lightest and
sheerest of batiste or nainsook or
c-ross-barred muslins. linen and cotton
lawns, and also of wash silks and
crepe de chine. The latter and linen
lawns seem to be in highest favor at
this season.
For decoration, wellmade French
or German val laces, cluny and shadow
laces hold sway, with hand embroid-
cry always the most elegant of all.
If fine hand embroidery is to be used,
linen lawn, crepe de chine, or very fine
batiste will make the work worth
while, Hand embroidery in simple de-
sign and neatly done is the most de-
sirable of all decorations for lingerie.
Durable laces in narrow insertions and
dainty edges are quite often used with
it. But the majority of hand-embroid-
cred garments have no further deco
ration than fewer sprays of embroid-
cry and all edges finished with but
tonholed scallops.
A gown of batiste is shown in the
| picture cut in the simplest manner
possible. A plain kimono pattern does
away with armholes or separate
sleeves. The round neck and short
sleeves, are finished with buttcnholed
scallops, and these are placed, in
stead of a hem, about the bottom. A
flower spray appears on each sleeve
| and in the front of the garment.
Made with much less work and very
pretty is the gown shown in the sec
ond picture. The yoke and sleeves, in
one piece, are made of German val
lace insertion finished with edglng,

The girl spoke in an unsteady voice.

The shaping is managed by basting al
teFnating rows of narrow and wide
insertion to a light paper pattern. The
lace is brought to a ~" shape in the
back. The shoulders are fitted with
narrow seams. The insertings are
whipped together.

Wentworth did not answer. He re-
turned the terror in Merry's eyes with
a cool, stubborn glance.
Did you have this hellish plumber

that bond? he asked unsteady.
What did you have in mind when
you made me your ~slave?"
Il don't know-exactly.r Wentworth
turned such a straightforward gaze
upon Merry that he realized the man
was speaking the truth. "As told

Cashmere Again.

Rumor tells US that the cashmere
which our mothers and grandmothers
wore with such dignity and grace, and
which Dame Fashion has frowned
upon for many years, is once more
to hold a place in popular favor, and
that the dressmakers are planning to
show models made of this material
in their early fall openings. The
cashmeres which our grandmothers
wore were all wool, but we are prom

Vivid Shades for Girls.

Bright colors in linen. crepe and cot
tors are much worn by children be-
yond the baby age of white. These
are usually worn with black belts or
girdles, and are relieved by collars
or guimpes of fine white embroidery.
The linens are too heavy for gath
ers. but in sheer fabrics shirrings.
plaitings and gathered rufles are
usual.

young girls of all ages.
