This dress OF royal blue taffeta Is
one of the best and most attractive
that have appeared among a great
number of models employing this silk.
1t is OF that soft variety called chiffon
taffeta, and is the coolest and crisp
est Of gowns for midsummer, outside
the world OF wash fabrics.
The skirt has a plain-fitted yoke ex-
tending to the hips, to which the body
is sewed. This latter is made of the
silk laid in close, single box plaits and
Is finished with a two and one-half
inch hem at the bottom. Three rows
OF stitching. set close together, and
parallel to each other, sew the plaits
down at the top to the yoke and make
a neat finish. The hem is also ma
chine stitched.
The coat Is cut with a plain yoke
also. The lower edge of the yoke is
cut In shallow curves with an incon-
spicuous point at each side on the
bust. The point reappears in the CEN
ter of the back. Reversing the order
of things in the skirt, the yoke over
laps the plaits in the jacket and but
two rows of stitching are used in join
ing 1t to the body. A rolling collar
and turned-back cuffs, as plain as can
be, take care of the finishing of neck
and sleeves. A plain belt made over
a crinoline foundation, three inches
wide, is tackled to the jacket a little
below the normal waist line. 1t Is or

brought me there. He listened to the
officers story of my arrest without

Not much that is new may be said
about the hats for little girls, since
mothers have been almost of one mind
In selecting bonnet-like shapes for the
fair little faces of their daughters. But
here is something new in soft hat Of
ribbon, and also remodeled hat with
braid brim and lace crown, which the
home milliner will enjoy making for
her own or for some other small lady.
The first hat is made of satin ribbon,
in a light color, about four inches In
width. Hardly two yards of 1t are
needed, a little over yard for one
length and about three-quarters for the
second for a child of five to six years.
The longer length of ribbon is to be
shirred over a cord on one edge and
gathered on the other. The shorter
length is gathered on one edge and
Joined to the gathered edge OF the
longer ribbon by piping covered with
q narrow bias band of satin or with a
narrow ribbon. The remaining edge
is to be gathered up with three shirred
pintucks In a group near it. The gath
ering thread at the edge is drawn up
to form the top Of the cap.
Ready-made ruching in double fold
and a plated frill of narrow lace are
sewed in about the face. Tiny roses OF
chiffon. or ribbon. or little millinery
flowers are set about the edge and the
hat is finished ready for lining. The
lining is to be cut from thin silk, or
null. matching the ribbon. 1t is made
