~ just launched particularly
fascinating style Of neck ruiile
IT. is. not in the least like the
huge pi,rruj affairs Of which / spoke
In a recent article. It IL a small rui'ie
of fine tu,le which does not go right
around the neck. but IL secured in front
by a narrow band of silk on which are
fastened three small silk roses. These
rosps lie against the throat under the
left car and the chin and make an ex-
Ccllcnt finish for a deCollcte corsage In
the daytime
1t is, wei known fact thai the decol-
lete Corsagos which are now SO gener-
ally worn are very trying to any but
very young women. A woman may
have really lovely neck and throat,
which looks perfect when am evening
dress is worn, but which II not quite
hawless when viewed in full sunlight.
The new tulle rufiles are just the
things to veil slight mpcrfections. |
recommend them to all women who
hesitate about appearing In the day
time with an absolutely bare neck and
throat.
one Of the most admired actresses
on the Partisan stage has declared that
the ideal bathing costume is that made
entirely ~ emerald green taffeta. This
may sound little startling, but | am
sure that the lady In question will
make a sensation when she appears on
the sands NJ Trouville or takes a header
INTO deep water at the Grande PLACE at
Biarrl'z She declares that emerald
green taffcta. specially prepared to re-
sist salt water gives lovely effects when
seen under the waves. Last season at
Trouville she wore wonderful bathing
costumes which ran through various
shades of blue from sapphire to sky.
She looked lovely in each one. but she
now asserts that from an artistic point
Of view green is the right thing and
perhaps she Is right.
All the new bathing costumes des-
tined for Trouvlie- Deluville are made
Of waterproof taffeta. which hardly
changes color when wet have seen
some effective suits made of old rose
taffeta with black sashcs and caps and
others in tango yellow silk with collar
and revcrs in black and striped silk
The now caps are specially becoming,
just Hike ;uraan ;oqucG. and so ar
ranged that they can be tied in a co..
quettish bow at the top of the head.
! have been told that some ultra
smart women intend exploiting bathing
costumes finished with pleated tunics
and that there Is a clever parsonage in
Paris who undertakes to execute pleats
which will never get out of correct posi-
Ton. Information of this kind goes in
ut one ear and out at the other. | do
not believe that pleated tuniCs could
ever he made suitable for bathing pur-
poses, and as to the immaculate pleats
which never get out of correct posi-
ton well. | have yet To find them.
SILK finished linen is the chosen ma
tcriai for smart seaside frocks Intended
for girls. This delightful material is
now made in all the lovely pastel tints
as well as in the strong colors dear 10
the heart Of Leon Bakst. Nearly all
the skirts are pleatcd; some Of the new
models show p,eats from waist to hem:
others are finished In the 1850 style with
plain yoke piece over the rips.
An ideal country gown for a pretty
girl was made OF chalk white linen and
tafeta In a rich shade Of geranum pink
The white linen skirt was pleated from
the waist down ana the pleats were ma
chine stitched over the hips to keep
them quite HAT Then there was a
sleeveless clsaquin of taffeta, the ends
or which were crossed over the hips and
tied at the back in a loose bow There
was little blouse OF fine white muslin
winch mad long bishop sleeves and was
finished with a large roll over collar
which gave delightful finish TO the
taitota casaqu!n. 4 Nat brmmed black
velvet hat accompanied this costume
which was quite simple and yet emf
n"ntly attractive.
Many Of the new linen dresses are
deliberately braided and embroidered.
ana one of the latest Partisan notions
Is the long linen coat finished with "A
deep sailor collar OF black and white
striped muslin and worn over n pleat ed
skirt of black taffcta. Very long white
linen coats of dlrectore outline are be-
coming moro and more fashiona BILE
som" of them are worn over linen skirts
% match, but the really chic idea is the
,nnG linen coat worn over a taffcta or
Charm"uS" skirt. or even one composed
entirely of lace flounces.
All the pastel tinted linens are used
IN this connection, but the more effec-
tive long coats are those made of pure
white linen and lined with ponree silk.

linen H. very prominent in Beers show

of materials hut II requires to he

Beer model had a white linen skirt with
a long tunIc in white muslin spotted
with lemon yellow. The tunic was Dor

white muslin and the Corsage was all
