MERE are no more interesting r or notable features of the sum
 mer fashions than the dignity that has been given to cotton and the simplicity with which silks are treated. We have found that tafeta of a certain quality, crepe de chine and silk crapes are quite as perfectly washable as linen, cotton and the like and conse- quently we are treating many of them in lingerie style, while cotton has been so beautified and so glorihed that there has, been a certain dignity attached thereto. In the group are shown several gowns, one of foulard, one of taffeta and two of cotton fabrics. The foulard gown is very attractive one in the polka-dot effect that IS always a favorite for that material; the wide tuclas on the skirt weight the material just sufficiently to empha- size the flare without making 1t aggres- sive and the over-bodice is extended to form a sash at the back. It is worn over an organdie blouse and the combination of the silk with the or gandie Is eminently smart The hem stitched edges make the daintiest pos

One of the smartcst of all costumes yet seen is of black taGcta wi;l fiaring skirt that is finished with hem and tucks. each tuck being piped with white. There is a simple little bodice with half low ne-k and short sleeves and there is a wide belt which consists of two folds piped to match the tucks. With it Is worn a cap of black and white checked satin that is knottc1 in true handkerchief fashion Black silk stockings and high boots of the same material that are finished with edges of white complete this most attractive costume.
 Not even the extreme popularity of putty and sand shades seem in any way to diminish their smartness. They continue to be worn by the best dressed women and they are so inner cntly charming that 1t is easy to realize why such can be the case.
 For wear to the Exposition or for travel of any sort. no better color can be suggested. They do not show soil readily, they clean easily and well and the tones are delightfully."- suggestive of cooincss. For the suits of hard service. gabardinc and serge are natu- rally the favorite materials but there are also great many silks being shown that are exceedingly practical and made into most serviccable as well as handsome costumes. One noted today is of the Oriental crepe finished silk known as "Cascadoo" in q variation of the popular putty shade The ma terial is light of weight and sheds dust and Is at the same time quite handsome enough tC Le worn for any afternoon occasion. The skirt IS simply gathered at the yoke that forms q deep point at the front. The coat is a loose little Eton, almost square and there is not a touch of color in the coat or in the skirt, for the buttons even are covered with the material but to give relief and to provide comfort on even a warm summers day, there is a simu- lated blouse of soft satin in matching color with stripes of bright cerisc and this simulated blouse forms full fronts and d high stock collar that are at tached to the coat at the neck and shoulders. hut is held in place at the waist line by means of belt only. As will readily be seen, it dispenses with the need of an entire under blouse beneath the jacket, yet at the same time, it carries out the color idea in an exceedingly smart way. As a finishing
