of black and white combinations give
one a wide choice whether the taste
Is quiet or gay.
The Worumbo sport coat shown
here is in black and white, cut on easy
and rather vague lines. It Is drawn IN
little by wide belt OF the fabric at
the normal waist line. White silk
braid Is used for binding the collar and
cuffs. Two large and very practical
pockets add definitely to the charac'
ter of the coat The convertible collar
may be turned up about the throat and
buttoned to place.
The hat, of white corduroy velvet. Is
trimmed with a band and cockade OF
white ribbon. White gloves and

lies in the trimming. Two poppies,
made of the embroidery with millinery
stamens at the center, are posed ex-
actly on top. This is an audacious po-
sition, but warranted because of the
excellence and beauty of the flowers.
One cannot get in the picture the
sheerness of the embroidery which
makes the blossoms look like delicate
ghosts of the flaming flower they copy.
The second hat, of the small poke
bonnet type, is made of allover en-
broidery and narrow val lace. The
frame is covered with blue crepe, and
this forms facing. The upper brim
and crown are Of the embroidery in an
open pattern. A frill of narrow val
lace finishes the edge, and there is q
collar and hanging ends Of black vel
vet ribbon. Little clusters of pink
June roses and blue forget-me-nots are
set about the base Of the crown. Moth
ing could be prettier, worn with the
midsummer frocks made of sheer
white cottons, or those that are gayly
figured.

millinery which reappears each year.
The same kinds of embroideries and

it is designated.
