The attention OF costumers appears
to be conferred now on afternoon and
evening frocks and on sports clothes
of all descriptions. The shops are full
OF enticing gowns made of all the
sheer cotton and silk textiles In de-
signs the most refined and fascinat-
ing that the season has produced.
They are the swan song of fashions
for the summer of 1916, for their crea-
tors must soon concentrate their
thoughts on a new task. The evolu-
tion of style for fall already presses
for their attention.
One thin fabric over another and
these two over third is the story of
gauzy costumes. in which quantities of
material make up for lack of body in
the fabrics used There are many
iounces, made as full as possible, and
underskirts and petticoats are shirred
and ruffled to the limit of fullness.
A petticoat of net is worn under
these airy midsummer frocks, and 1t
is provided with boning or reeds
which distend the frock at the hips
or near the bottom. Two reeds at

Honors are very nearly equal be-
tween the high boot and the low shoe,
in point of popularity For midsum-

cleaning the light feathers.
Plain designs are favored and add
to the elegance of the footwear of to-

than marvellous, and it seems that
there is no room for improvement in
