terials belong 10 the younger con-
tingent, but they undoubtedly maks
certain picturesque effect over whito
costumes. One Of the prettiest that
has appeared is made Of linen in
pompadour design in hip length very
full and haring and is finished with
black velvet belt and velvet collar and
cuffs.
Women who are real lovers Of the
sea and its exercise are accepting the
swimming costumes Of glove silk with
more or less enthusiasm. They are
exceedingly light in weight and they
allow perfect freedom for action and
they really are ideal As a matter Of
course, they are designed to be
worn in the water. not when lolling on
the beach. and are admirable for their
own use. With them are shown ex-
ceedingly attractive and graceful wraps
or coats Of striped ratine with collars
and cuffs In plain color and Of various
lengths that are practical and at
tractive and altogether TO be desired.
The material is utterly unharmed by
the water and they can be slipped on
and of with the greatest case. The
contrast between the swimming cos
tune with its perfect severity and
simplicity, even when combined with
handsome materials and with well
fitting hosiery and shoes, and the
elaborate costume that one can never
think Of beyond the line Of the foam.
is indeed a marked one, but contrasts
60 a long way toward making up the
picturesque feature Of life and there
is no need to cavil thereat. The
woman who appeared at a fashionable
summer resort wearing an ideal sport
ing costume and was followed by a
porter bearing all the correct golf
sticks and equipment, creating an
impression Of a genuine lover Of sport
and who appeared upon the beach
the next morning in an elaborate taft
feta suit with Aaring ruffied skirt and
much betrimmed. while she ran up
and down the hard sand knocking a
golf ball about, is not without her
prototypes. The picture is a real one,
however absurd it may seem.
Since the appearance Of glove silk
or Jersey silk in the piece to be pur.
chased by the yard, it has been put
20 a variety Of uses. A new and ar
interesting one is the making Of simpl'
blouses, plain, quite untrimmcd, Of tn
sort that can be worn with the cola
buttoned up closely or rolled open. an
among the output is to be found
variety Of colors--American Beaut,
red, soldiers blue and violet with
facings Of white being favorites.

TNHE late summer is extremely apt
to bring a demand for new COS
tunes and shrewd women are
always on the outlook for designs that
can be carried over TO the coming
season. Here are some new models
that will be found perfectly satisfac-
tory. They are admirable in cut and
in style and they show the very latest
developments Of fashion. College
women will perhaps be especially inter
ested. since August is the month during
which they are sure to be making
ready for the return to the winters
work. but whether the gowns and
frocks are wanted for one purpose or
for another, these designs will be found
satisfactory.
The Empire dress at the extreme
left is designed for young girls and for
the small women Of girlish figures. It
is very charming model with the
very latest features found in the bell
shaped sleeves and under sleeves and
in the yoke and girdle that stands
away from the figure to give a sugges-
tion Of the bolero idea. In the picture.
it is made Of lowered taffeta. but the
design is quite appropriate for any
material that is thin enough and soft
enough TO be gathered successfully and
there are numberless silks. voiles and
cottons that supply that need. Wool
voile and etamine are to be worn
throughout the autumn-either one
would be pretty made in this way,
while taffeta also is charming.
The gown with the scalloped edges
gives evidence Of that favorite trim
ming and also Of the favor in which
the circular dounce is being held. Seal
lops bound with braid or with bias
strips Of material are exceedingly
smart and will continue to be so and
the circular skirt with the circular
hounce Is one Of the latest and best
liked models. The bodice is made
with the slightly raised waistline and
with circular peplum that gives be-
coming fare over the hips. There is
a plain lining or body portion to which
the sleeves are attached and the over
blouse is made sleeveless with the arm
hole edges bound. As will readily be
seen, two materials can be used as
well as one and II something thinner
is liked, it would be pretty to make the
sleeves Of net, chiffon or voile while
the overbodioe and the skirt are of
silk or of crepe. One-piece gowns or
those with the bodice and skirt ioined
by means of a belt are to make inn
Portant features Of the latest fashions.
The two remaining women's figures
chow new and interesting designs. The
belted gown is made with a plated
skirt joined to perfectly loose blouse
and this blouse Is held in place by
means of the belt.

LATEST FASHION NOTES
from the FASHION CENTRES

ARLY as Il is, there are all sorts
Of rumors abroad as TO how the
coming season is 10 be met and
what will and will not be worn. To
the average woman, most Of these are
lacking in interest Just now. since the
present Is the pressing need and we
have had such remarkably cool
season that summer seems only be
ginning Nevertheless, the tendency
toward the use Of embroidery. both
with thread and with beads is worthy
Of mention. There are long hours Of
leisure ahead at the summer resorts
and piazza work will be in demand.
The very latest costumes that have
been imported show embroideries used
in most interesting ways and a great
many trimmings Of net and chiffon
embroidered with beads 20 make both
bandings and edges and since the
beads can be applied over any design
intended for braid or for simple en-
broidery, Il is quite easy TO do the
work ourselves and the hint may
therefore be worth bearing in mind.
An exceedingly smart costume that
gives a hint Of the future is made with
skirt Of taffeta and yoke Of chiffon
cloth, and over the connecting seams
is embroidery Of big fiat conventional
flowers and leaves. executed entirely
in long and short stitch in chenille
threads An exceedingly handsome
blue taffeta costume that has recently
been imported shows the jacket fronts
and the sleeves embroidered with
iridescent beads and these bead EN-
broiderics and bead trimmings unques-
tionably will make a feature Of the late
summer and Of the autumn. Not alone
small beads. but combinations Of small
beads with bigger beads are shown and
in fact beads used in every way 20 give
attractive results.
The tendency toward using up
holstery materials for sports coats and
sports costumes seems ever to bring
fresh developments. The latest is to
be found in skirts made Of genuine
awning cloth and incongruous as that
at first thought appears. the result has
many advantages. The material is
durable and Il can be found in quiet
and most attractive colorings and II
will Withstand the hardest usage and
worn with a white blouse and a sever,
belt OF leather, it has a certain smart
ness Of its own.

it is absolutely a simple and

are rompers in which the smaller chill
dren will be perfectly happy and there
is a dainty frock that the little girls
will like to wear for lawn parties and
the like with a charming bolero COS
tune for the older sisters that is
adapted TO almost any afternoon
junction. The little girls dress s674
is one Of the simplest and most charm
ing that could be devised. II is made
with a straight skirt Of houncing and
with a very pretty shirred girdle with
shoulder straps Of ribbon and is worn
over plain separate guimpe. Il is
dainty, it is attractive, dressy in effect,
yet is absolutely simple and ohild-like.
1t can be made with high neck and
with long sleeves. but few mothers
will care for that finish during the
warm weather season.
The rompers are new ones, are closed
right down the front and consequently
are easy for the child 20 adjust. The
fall at the back is attached to the belt
and so is easily buttoned into place.
There is separate shield that can be
worn or omitted as liked and the sleeves
can be made longer or shorter. In one
view, the bloomers are drawn in by
means Of elastic at the knees and in the
other, they are left free and each finish
is quite correct. Galatea. ginghams
and simple linens are the materials that
are most used for rompers and on the

trimmed with white. For the year

especially desirable. The MILDLY blouse
is made with the regulation opening
and drawn on over the head. When it
is belted, there are openings cut in the
blouse, the edges Of which are bound
to make them strong and the belt is
slipped through these openings, but
the garment can Of course be finished
without the belt and be allowed to
hang straight and free. Galatea is a
good material for such a garment.

success. Tafeta. either plain or flow

would make a somewhat handsomer
frock; one Of the pretty handkerchief

costume and there are numberless ways
in which the design can be varied.

made Of rose colored linen EN-
broidered with white. Here, it is worn
over a guimpe OF white batiste that
is closed at the front. but any guimpe
or any blouse can be worn beneath,
consequently besides being smart and
new, the design means real economy
for every mother knows that blouses
and guimpes are all apt to wear under
the arms while they are perfectly good
in other places, and mended. they can
be worn beneath this dress TO be just
as serviceable as though new. The
box-plaits provide straight and be-
coming lines and also fullness and flare
to the skirt, since they are pressed to
position only below the belt The
opening at the neck is large enough
TO allow Of slipping the dress on over
the head, consequently it is the easiest
garment in the world to make.

Blanche liked this as little as any

had said nothing that she did like this
morning But there were allowances
to be made for him, she knew. And
yet to strengthen her knowledge, or
rather to let him confirm 1t for her,

stated certain case for him aloud.
