The prettiest of dress hats for the summer are made of horse hair braids or Leshorn plaques.
 New York Style leaders continue to feature the high collar, fastened close to the neck.
 The gay cretonne skirt is again one of summers favorites- It is worn with a delicate organdie shade in the skirt.
 Flowers and wreathes that are chen file, make such pretty trimmings for the hats.
 At a fashion show in the east an electric lighted hat was worn. The bulbs were concealed in the large roses that trimmed the same. and the wires were covered by robbon stream CTS that came from arount the crown. and these fastened about the wrist. The wearer held the battery in her hand, concealed by pretty silk handkerchief. ~.
 Paquin of Paris exhibits a suit in the fashion magaZines-fashioned of serge, and trimmed with loops and bandings of soft straw.
 The new sailors are immense.
 Cape collars or organdie make such a dainty touch to the taffeta gown.
 The newest hose shown in Bisbee are clocked with embroidery or beads, and some of them are stripes and plaids, say nothing of those that are elaborately embroidered.
 Picturesque hats for teas are made of frills of organdie or lace and trimmed with ribbon streamers and hand made silk flowers.
 Tassels are very smart for trim ming frocks and hats.
 The square hat is new, and very good.
 Skirts continue to be full-either flares or plaits.
 Gold and silver trimmings continue to be the best for evening clothing.
 Hats are elegant in their simplicity.
 Some of the handsomer evening gowns have trains.
 Sport hats match the sport suits.
 Large polka dots are again being favored for summer dresses.
 Double belt effects are good.
 Frilly cuffs are well liked; also the ones that are tucked into fit the arm. and those that come within two inches of the elbow.
 Short flare skirts are making the demand for gay novelty hosiery great CT than ever this season.
 The coats shown at the new fashion shows were short. and none more than three-quarter length, and all full below the waist line.
 New evening frocks are cut with 9 round neck.
 Ihave noted some gowns in purple and toned with lavander-not alone in dressy outfits-but in sport clothes also.
 An abundance of tiny ruffles are pretty for the summer frocks.

Fortunately for the haPpi- ness of all those concerned. there IS a marked tendency toward simplicity in these special costumes. Over elabo- ration is discouraged.

The Skirt is made of flouncing, the blouse IS made of all-over material that har- monizes with it and the little over bodice is made of taffeta. If this last is chosen in some bright color. very p;cturesque and charming costume will result. For commencement or tor graduation all white will be essential and ii would be pretty to make the st;rt of a fine sheer organdie or lawn with a hemstitched hem finishing the edge. the blouse or the guimpe DOT ,;on of the same material and the over bodice of white lansdowne.
