the moment smart, trim shoes are abso
lutely necessary to the general effect of
the costume. The high laced boot of
tan, brown, black or gray is popular
with the tailored suit; for afternoons,
with the light silk or the novelty cotton
frock, the old-time Colonial pump, with
its huge buckle of silver or gun -metal,
is once more a low shoe favOrite.
Wells, Parasols and Collars
At the beginning Of the season there
were any number Of novel effects in
veilings, but with the advance of the
season the call for veilings for street
and general use, aside from motoring,
dwindles usually to the face veil, of al
most invisible mesh, intended merely to
keep the hair in place. The trick of ar
ranging the veil over the hair, under the
hat, is practical and clever, especially
with the larger hats. The hat may be
readily removed and the veil remain,
keeping the hair smoothly and neatly
in place.
Parasols promise to play more
prominent part in this summer ward
robe than for many 4 summer past;
they are oddly shaped and wildly col
ored. One Of the newest ideas is the
blue bird parasol; these are embroid-
cred, stencilled, or appliqued, and
spread their wings all around the outside
edge of the white or softly tinted para.
sol, or scatter here and there over the
inside surface. 1t is an extremely
dainty notion, completing the summer
frock in a most fascinating manner. Os.
trich feathers edging the parasol is an.
other effective fancy.
Neckwear this season is as fascinat-
ing and offers as many possibilities for
individuality as ever. Some smart little
novelty ruches from Paris, now being
shown i'll the shops, to complete cos
tune effectively, are narrow and finished
with buckle, or tie with narrow rib.
bons.
Popularity of Lace and Embroidery.
The extreme favor being shown the
typical lingerie frock has brought lace
and embroidery into wide use again this
summer. Lace is being used for trim
ming dresses and blouses, and often
forms the greater portion of the gar.
ment. The sheer lace flouncings are
particularly pretty for summer dance
and evening dresses. Metal laces are
effective on the more formal gowns for
day time and evening. A particularly
pretty use of lace flOuncing is illustrat
in the little Spanish dance frock shown
here; upper portion of skirt and bolere
are of taffeta, bodice and flounce of a
thread-la flouncing. An effective BIT
of contrast is introduced in the dark
girdle and the narrow ribbons banding
the short puff sleeves. Another, sim
