ments will depend upon the taste and
discretion with which the material is
chosen. 1t is to be found in really
beautiful colors and designs that are
we'll adapted to the purpose. but in
the cheaper grades, it is apt to be
crude and aggressive.
So-called sports costumes, but which
are really simple coat-suits, that are
designed for morning wear, are being
developed along exceedingly interest
ing lines. Mention has already been
made of the Jersey silk costumes and
of the taffeta coats and we now have
entire suits Of satin, which material.
while hardly related to the sports
idea, may fairly be said to be affiliated
when found in the same brilliant color
ing. A notable costume. exploited by
an important house, is vivid green in
color with collar and cuffs Of royal
purple. There is plain skirt
and a genuine sports coat knotted
With a sash. The effect is pictur-
esque and consequently seems to
belong to the season and any
novelty is of course interesting, but
+ costume as conspicuous as this one,
would, of necessity, only be adapted
to limited use, in the grandstand at
the tennis match, or at polo tourna-
ment, it would perhaps be in keeping,
but even for a sports costume, the
coloring seems little over-done and
extreme. Italy has scarcely been en-
gagged in the universal struggle long
enough to have its influence really
reach the world of fashion, otherwise
we might think that the use of the
vivid green could be traced to that
source. Paris is emotional before all
else and we may be certain that Italy
having joined with France in it's ter
rible struggle, the colors of the Italian
flag and the Italian influence generally
will be manifest in the coming styles,
if they have not already appeared.
Neck wear makes an important fea-
ture of summer fashions. Some Of
the newest ruches to have appeared are
of organdie, very full and plated and
exceedingly becoming and attractive,
eminently we'll suited to the summer
gown. They are to be found both in
white and in color and they consist OF
very wide plated frills with very narrow
ribbon which often is black, to be
used for the closing. The very charm
ing blue that is known as soldiers"
is favorite color, but rose tints and
violet tints are to be found also and
white is general favorite for general
wear. The full ruffe makes a pretty
frame for the face and the organdie is
so thin and light that the ruches are
not open to the objection Of extreme
warmth.

the cuffs over the sleeves with the
notches meeting and the large perfora-
tions at the seams and underface both
cuffs and sleeves together with bias
strips Of material one inch in width.
Lap the fronts of the gown with the
large Perforations meeting and haste
carefully into place. Then stitch the
skirt to position, leaving just opening
enough to make comfortable placket
and sew the buttons on as illustrated.
To make the plain gown suggested in
the small view, cut the front of the
blouse and of the skirt full size and
proceed exactly as directed.

joining, haste the seams on the right
side as directed for the landings at
the front and stitch carefully on your
marked outline of the pattern. Then
apply the banding over the seams, or.
for a plain seam or for piping or for
cording, take the seams on the wrong
side as already directed. Basic the
under-arm and sleeve seams together
on the right side and stitch the smallest
possible scam, then turn and stitch
again on the wrong side on the marked
outline. As next step, gather the
blouse at the neck edge between the
double crosses. Make the collar-band

HINTS for the HOME NEEDLE WOMAN
Design for Embroidering a Doyley.

The scalloped edge is to be padded
and buttonholed, the remainder
: Of the design can be worked
either in solid embroidery or as eye
let's or in combination Of the two.
To pad a continuous scalop rapidly
and effectively, work chain stitch be-
tween the lines, heavier at the centers
and lighter at the points, or, cut
skein Of thread, apply two or more
strands over the center of the stamped
pattern, keeping within the lines, tack
here and there in COUGHING style,
gathering the threads closely together
ct each point of the scallops and then
buttonhole over the foundation.

This season is essentially one of
embroidery and of braid and
latest fashions provide the
needlewoman's opportunity. The
smartest blouses are embroidered,
the most costly and the most elegant
children's dresses are finished with
needlework of one sort or of another
and even the little boys costumes
have been robbed of their severity
and are finished with scalloped edges
and with simple, embroidered designs.
Hand work marks the most exclusive
gowns. With the aid OF transfer pat
terms. any woman who understands
the elements Of sewing should be able
to embelish her gowns and her chill

to whip each edge closely or to bind
the edges separately and to press open.
Turn the front edges under to the
width of the seam allowance, then
