PRETTY THINGS FOR SUMMER
Home Accessories Are Designed to
Give Effect of Daintness-Much
CIuny Lace Is Used.

For furnishing the summer home
cretonne table covers and pillows
Of oblong, round, square and roll shapes
are new. Patterns have white or
natural grounds, with bright floral de-
signs for the various accessories for
the summer home Other cretonne
sets have the lowered fabric combined
with a band across each article of
heavy filet or cluny insertion, or hand
crocheted insertion. Table scarfs,
cushion covers, bags of various shapes
and sizes and dresser covers In Gre
tonne with red, pink or delft blue de-
signs, and ivory or natural filet lace
are finished with tidy braid of passe-
menterie having fringe.
Art rep in natural shades forms an
artistic cushion cover edged with
beading and fringe Of deeper shade
than the goods. The design consists
of graceful scrolls and long sprays Of
tinted leaves. Beautiful samples of
stamped goods In rep and rough and
smooth linen have unusual scrolls,
large flowers, fruit, etc. French knots,
satin and stem stitches are worked
with large silks. Dainty samples have
rosebuds In stripes on English-looking
trellises
Much cluny lace is used with white
linen. Net motifs on linen pieces are
new. The work Is done through the
net, which is basted on and the linen
cut away, leaving the net parts sheer.
Luncheon sets made of Japanese
toweling are quaint and effective. Mar
row widths of this material are
fagoted together with edges hem
stitched. They are especially attrac-
tive for outdoor or porch use or sum-
mer cottage purposes. Sets can also
be made from Japanese cotton crepe,
which comes by the yard, edged with
a narrow gimp in white and dark
blue.

TRIMMING IS ORNATE
ELABORATE MILLINERY ONE OF
THE SEASONS FADS.
Smaller Hats Are Being Worn, But
Styles Show General Increase in
Height-Sketches That Snow
the Latest Modes.

In the new hats there is always a
marked tendency to carry up the
trimming very high, either by means
of a tuft of feathers, which soar
straight up toward the sky like minia-
ture spires and steeples, or else
by ribbon or velvet drapery, which
takes the form of lofty wing at the
side.
Tall bows are cleverly draped and
wired to give never hint of wiring,
and these seem Unfortunately popular
as trimmings for first-season hats.
All hats still incline to smallness,
though they tend to become higher in
proportion to their narrowness. Take,
for example, the two of the sketch.
No. l is of navy tagal, with a round
crown closely Rugged by an upstand-
ing brim which spreads" a little at
the top and base. Ribbed satin in a
smart shade of burnt orange is used

SUMMER CURTAINS OF NET
Wide Variety Is Offered, and Prices
Are Not Beyond Reach Of Mod
erately Filled Purse.

In selecting made curtains In pairs,
1t Is difficult to keep to the ideal of
simplicity for the summer home, for
the designs lead by insidious gradua-
tons from the plain bobbinet to most
elaborate curtains of imported, hand
made lace To begin with, there are
the net curtains with tiny edges and a
twoinch insertion The net is finer in
thread this year, the lace daintier in
design and the heavy cluny Is discard
ed for better thread lace, yet prices
vary little from last year. Then there
are curtains with plain grounds and
woven borders which suggest German
influence; while some Of the copies Of
old lace borders, on plain net, are SO
well done that the beauty of effect
wins pardon for the imitation. An
other Imitation worthy OF acceptance
Is q narrow insertion and edge OF
venetian point lace, which Is made by
machine on curtains Of plain net.
A hand embroidery which has the
appearance Of lace Is that which deco
rates new style Of net curtain. II
resembles shadow embroidery to some
extent, and IL done with soft. fiat
threads Of silky cotton. The design Is
first outlined and then entirely filled
In with sort Of darned work. These
Curtajns have a deIfca nv fhof ouuoasts
expense, yet they are less In price
than many which have heavy cluny
establishment. They are finished with
a simple hem in order to keep their ef-
feet In lightness.

M ORE Independence in the matter
M of headwear than is evident in
any other of their diversions and oc-
equations is shown by women who
spend much time in the auto. Silk
bonnets and chiffon wells for the long
tour made good start in the race for
popular favor in the spring, but no
one style or material actually achieved
q lead.
Silk braids sewed row on row to
foundations of crinoline or net, and
stayed with one, or at most two, small
wires, make it possible to develop a
hat In any color. Besides these
made" hats the soft hemp and sim.
liar shapes that come In such immense
variety ready made, present many
shapes designed for the autoist.
Those auto hats showing a combina.
ton of braid brim and silk crown NAV
be depended upon for comfort and du.
rability, and they are as becoming as
any of the allbraid hats. Two de-
signs of this kind are shown in the
picture given here.
One of these has moderately close.
fitting crown of silk. A group of plaits
extends across it from front to back
The brim of hemp braid turns back
and is finished with side plating of
narrow ribbon matching the silk in
color At each side and toward the
back straps of silk hold the long chit.

Laced boots Just now are a negligi.
BILE quantity. They are worn only on
the tennis court and yachts deck
with heelless soles of rubber. All boots
for general and formal wear have
beautifully fitting buttoned tops, and
most of them have high heels also
The gay tailleur of the season does not
accord with sensible footwear and
the boots positively must be dainty,
trim and more or less frivolous to give
the correct ensemble.
