an ETHEREAL guise that does NOT add
in appearance 10 avoirdupois. Even
the slender girl, however. likes ar
times skirts that fall close to the
ankle lines, and she, too. occasionally
adopts the ETHEREAL bouffant lines of
tulle, net, maline, chiffon, etc. The
circular cut is most liked for the this

dependable modiste.
Summer evening wraps are nuner-
Gus and varied in style One striking
pink-and-lue stripe is loosel-- gather
ed in by a cOrdlike ribbon at a low
waist line, and looks for all the world
like a bathrobe.
Very plain frocks for evening or
formal afternoon wear are being orna-

tary bit of gayety bling at most any
place and at most any angle upon the
gown, apparently hit or miss fashion,

hats this season that il is the fault Of
woman, no matter how unusual in
type or appearance, and not the mil

crowns: short, wide and non eXistant

arranged upon the top edge of the
crown. Veritable wreaths of flowers,

rather mount the upper crown edge
of fiat sailors and brimless hats alike,
the only difference being that upon
the crowns with brims larger flowers
second mourning ar made Of black
and-white striped silk and sometimes
of white Organdie, having embroid-
cred upon it black polka dots or thin
black lines to form a plaid. Second
mourning hats also appear in COM
binatiOns of black, white and laVen-
dar. trimmed crowns are
found in smart sailors to wear with
sports costumes or tailored suits. The
buttons encircle the top edge of the
crown in quite the same fashion as
the flower WreathS are used upon the
more elaborate hats.
Exclusive jewelers. are showing a
lovely green gold that they classify as
shade between platinum and gold.
The green cast is scarcely pedceptible
except when placed beside the nat
ural gold. Tt has somewhat the we'll
liked paleness of platinum and yet re-
tainS the unmatchable luster Of gold.
Smart women are rapidly adopting it
in all sorts of jewelry. Hand-wrought
rings are again tempting the ultra
smart, and one finds many charming,
grotesque and unique designs among
them Diamonds are rarely used for
these odd rings. The rings are usual
~ worn upon the tiniest finger.
I pulled up with quite a little shock

most prominent part of the display,
