~ETE frocks for summer occa

ITOCkS TOT SuHliIcI OCCd-
 sions are under consideration
 today. Not lingerie frocks for veranda wear; not silk frocks either; but that combination of the two approved by fashion for the su- preme summer afternoon costumes the sort of costume one gets into TOT very important occasion on a very warm day, an occasion when one must look cool and at the same time be dressed with especial distinction.
 Lace is lavishly used in such cos tunes, naturally; and also sheer tis- sues, like chiffon, Georgette crepe and the like. There may be a thin silk under frock, or draped silk pannier or a little basque of lustrous taffeta above a skirt rippling with lace ruff fles; but the costume must give an effect of airiness and coolness not to be achieved with silk alone For wear at late spring weddings several delec- table frocks of this character have been evolved; after the weddings will come the yacht club and country club openings, and after that, the garden fetes at Newport, Bar Harbor and other fashionable resorts. Something much more elaborate than simple little lingerie frock is required for such occasions-as the woman at tending one of them in 9 simple lingerie frock would speedily discover to her discontinue, and the lovely, elaborate frocks demanded for for nal afternoon wear in summer are accompanied by wonderful picture hats weighted by plumes or roses and by the very last thing in parasols.
 Jenny and Premet. who delight in evolving costumes of this gay and charming character, are making many of their frocks with elbow sleeves which will be worn-the couturiers insist-without gloves. The square decolletage is noted also in afternoon frocks of this nature, and quite de- cided decolletage seems permissible, so long as one is equipped with hat and parasol to assure the afternoon character of ones costume; and so long as there are sleeves of one length or another to prove beyond perad- venture that an evening frock was ton was designed
 Green Apples on Summer Garden
 Erock.
 
 The judgment of Paris this season awards high prize to . Georgette cos tune called at the opening Helene, and named-who knows-because of the little apples printed in green on its silk drapery. A picture of this entrancing frock is presented today a typical garden fete frock for wear at Newport in August
 The fllmy skirt, as you see. is made of two deep lace flounces These are mounted over petticoat of white net, run wi.h silver ribbon and under the net petticoat is another, also of net, distended by hoops at the knee. The polonaise-for that is really what 1t is--has a bib-like cut at the front, rising to meet band of violet vel vet which gives the decolletage a square line. Buttons on this "bib" extend downward below the waistline and give a basque suggestion Over the hips the silk polonaise is tucked Np into modest panniers. The short sleeves are of Val lace and their plain ness is refreshing in season of ex- agxerated sleeves. The color scheme

THE CHASE LONGUE LUXURIOUS

tongue of stained wicker with cush- ions of lowered cretonne costs about twenty-five dollars; but this is merely the beginning of the expense. There must be, first an appropriate negligee of chiffon and lace, and to match the negligee several pillows of lace and embroidered linen; and to match the pillows, lace and embroidered spread edged with a lace frill and trimmed with satin roses. Two hundred dol lars is really a modest sum for the complete outfitting of Q fashionable chaise tongue and the negligee may cost another hundred; but surely a more becoming background and frame for feminine beauty was never de- vised.

~ HE Easter bride who was lucky
 enough to receive as wedding ~ present one of the swinging dressing table mirrors that are so fashionable just now, will set it up Tn her new boudoir of ivory enamel and rose colored brocade, and it will give the last touch of French perfec- tion. These pretty mirrors are not inexpensive trifies; fair-sized one costs about twenty-five dollars; but they do give a satisfying finish and chic to the boudoir to be sure. The oval glass in a dull gilt frame. swings in standard of ivory tinted wood and in just such a mirror did the belle of the Louise Court gaze back at her lovely reflection. her powdered hair and her patches.

shoulder A girdle of pink velvet ribbon accentuates the color.
 For debutante also is the. peach pink taffetaa model tucked up at the hip; for only a very young woman could wear this decollete, short sleeved frocll in the afternoon. On an older woman the effect would scarcely be in good taste, but extreme youth can wear many things that the thirties could not attempt. The frock is made of peach pink taffeta, draped in the bodice, over a stomacher of white tulIe yelling white satin, across which are tied bands of very faint pink ribbon. The decolletage is square but shallow and girlish and the sleeves are merely two very full ruffles of the pink taffeta faced with hair lace so that they stand out like little wings. The edge of the enor- mously full skirt is also faced with hairlace and the skirt is caught up at each hip in shirred tucks, bit of hairlace being inserted in each tuck to give it crispness. This stiffening material has Tive quality very diff ferent from heavier stiffenings woven with some substance that lends body. Hair lace is really absolute haircloth of light grade and is the best rein- forcement for soft silks and similar materials. It does not rattle like some of the other stiffening materials-an- other point in it's favor. The average woman, stiffened in her fiounces with ordinary, cheap stiffening material rattles like loose sail in a high wind and reminds one of the time-twenty years ago, when femininity in balloon sleeves and skirts, rattled and crack led wherever sine went.
 Many Yards In This Summers Frock.
 Lingerie dresses this season cannot be built of five yards of thirty-siX inch voile or crepe as they could a year or two ago. Soft fabrics gather up into nothing at the waistline and the five-yard width fashion prescribed at the foot means five widths of yard wide material-even when the skirt

Far better to leave even the handsomest jewels at home and to wear a string of imitation pearls or even only flower or two-than to spoil the effect ones dressmaker aimed at by adding the wrong touch of color. The jewels illustrated in the picture have been chosen with ex- quisite taste to harmonize with an evening gown of black tulle and silver brocade, and beautiful fan of pale gray ostrich mounted on sticks of mother O pearl. The necklace is light and delicate in design, with or naments of diamonds and emeralds set in white metal joined by the slender est of silver chains. The comb in the
