buttonholes of narrow braid, are eff
fective little touches on the front of
the waist.
The skirt is moderately full with
panel at the front and plaits at the
sides and back. Above the three-inch
hem a band Of the material, with the

The belt may be of patent leather or
suede or of some heavy fabric. Alto

points in the modes of spring for
grownups and at the same time con.
trives to be prettily childish and very
practical. 1t is meant to be developed

A new combination has appeared
tmong undermuslins and has proved
a great success in the spring dis
plays. 1t has appealed to the senses
of utility, economy and daintiness,
which women exercise when Quitting
themselves with summer underwear.
This garment is called the envelope
chemise" and is engagingly pretty as
well as practical.
To cut the new combination, II has
only to vary the lower part of a
chemise pattern by sloping the side
seams outward to provide for a flare
at the bottom. Also the back breadth
is cut longer than the front breadth
and with a tab at the center of the
lower edge. This tab is more or less
narrow and is provided with button
holes which fasten over small, fat
pearl buttons sewed to the bottom
edge of the front breadth.
This arrangement divides the skirt
of the chemise, making it as easy to
walk in as muslin OIL silk pants and
giving the appearance of a short IN
der petticoat.
The envelope chemise is developed
in nainsook or other thin cotton fab
RIGS and in wash silk or crepe de chine
1t is trimmed with the usual lingerie
laces. The corset cover, pants ant
short skirt may be dispensed with
when this chemise is adopted, since II
takes the place Of each of them.

Smart Outinn Costumes

For smart country club costumes
in norfolk style there is a new silk
material called khaki-kool, which
comes in various crisp weaves re-
sembling shantung and rajah pongees
and in smart shades of sand. putty.
dreadnaught gray and in pearl and
oyster white. These costumes are
very simple and very smartly tailored
with belted coats above wide circular
skirts. The natural shade of the
khaki-kool is sometimes matched by
natural silk stockings; stockings to
match the dark and light gray shades
are also carefully selected for wear
with black pumps or boots. This
khaki-kool has a virtue of springing
up, however it is crushed, and will,
without doubt, be fancied also for
summer motor coats.
