Sluu-lndeStruct1ble vOile silk woven voile much in favor just now and more airy than chiffon with much more durability of texture. This black voile is sprinkled over with sprawling. gold-colored figures and is dropped over golden yellow silk-a very smart color scheme this season when all the yellows and brown tones are particu- larly modish. The wrap accompanies a frock of smoky gray pussy willow taffeta with which the black and vel low Of the wrap is excessively striking. The costume is completed by a gay little Vatican hat of gray Tagal straw trimmed with mustard yellow ribbon and two shaded gold ostrich tips curl ing under the brim at the back, long gloves of embroidered gray silk and dancing boots of patent leather with tops of contrasting cloth
 Another gay little bunched-up wrap accompanies summer frock which in itself represents one of the sea sons style -paradoxes-black silk net in combination with machine em broidery of white cotton weave. This wrap Is of petunia pink pussy willow taffeta and is very short at the hin. the silk being run with two lines of shirring. one at the lower edge and the other nine inches above which draw in the garment slightly with out giving it at all clinging line. The collar, outlining the deep of the front opening, Is of black velvet and a long tie of black velvet ribbon Ia weighted with jet tassels which swing just clear of the knees. Wraps of this sort are seen also in eold colored silk and in peacock blue and the new Kelly green as well as in other mod ish shades of the season. They are comfortable, light and easily donned and are coquettish and fetching over dancing and dinner frocks of sum- mery character.
 Net Strong Style Feature of the
 Season.
 Both black and white net are strik- ingly in evidence with this seasons costumes. In Paris this fine nef is called "tulle" whether of silk or of cotton weave, but the silk-woven net of course gives the most airy and beautiful effect and Is most seen in ex- elusive costumes. The pictured frock which accompanies the petunia taf- feta wrap illustrates the use of black 'tulle" with cotton machine embroid- cry. Skirt and tunic of this frock are of St. Gall embroidery of very fine quality, the material having been cut away from the embroidered pat tern along the edge of the tunic which falls in series of tabs over the fiounce or airy black net. White embroid- cred silk gloves. white footwear and graceful hat of white chip and white taheta, trimmed with pink roses, make this pretty costume for summer res- taurant dining and dancing complete. Bustles Affected Only By Extreme
 Dressers.
 The popularity that Premet ex- pected for the hustle gowns-put ont by the House of Premet early in thc season - is not strongly evident. few bustle gowns are seen but their proportion is not large-as yet. at least. They are worn by women who go in for the newest and most extreme things and the rank and file have not yet adopted them. It takes some cour- age to wear pronounced hustle ef- feet, even in New York restaurant. where extreme fashions abound; 1t would take vastly more courage to wear such an effect in a small town or an exclusive suburb. on a Sunday morning. A Premet hustle model is pictured and the gaiety and frivolity of this frock cannot be disputed It is made of navy blue pussy willow taf- feta striped with hairlines of white and the skirt is lifted at the back in l a bunched-up tuck, over a sash of ] black velvet ribboa.A Below. falls .
