wear Suggestions.

Skill in selecting accessories Is often
the major asset OF Il woman who ranks
as the best-dressed individual in her
own set.
Gloves, shoes, hat aud neck dressing
must be thought out carefully and the
question Of furs Is one that comes up
for consideration. The summer fur
vogue is stronger than it was a year
ago, when it first received general
American recognition.
Last year natural animal scarfs pref
ty well dominated the summer fur
showing; but this season innumerable
smart novelties are displayed. Stole
scarfs lined with thin satin or chiffon,
little three-cornered wraps of flat fur,
collarettes and all sorts of clever lit
tie capes are shown.
In regard to summer neckwear, 1t
must be noted that many periods con-
tribute, and a collar taken from the
era Of Henry II, Byron, Oliver Crom-
well or Victoria may be equally smart,
provided the collar and the face for
which it is chosen as framing blend
tremendously. Cape and tichu effects
are extremely good and sailor, cavalier
and Elton shapes are also favored.
Some tailored collars of pique or linen
have organdie cape collar, capes Of
net, batiste, ETC., are thought highly of
and are worn with frocks of silk, wolfe
and other sheer summer fabrics. Crom-
we'll collars or orglndie daintily EN-
broidered are youthful and smart.
Fichu collars show best when made
Of some very soft, thin fabric, such as
georgette crepe, crepe de chine, NOUS
selihe de sole or chiffon. and collars
suggesting the Henry II period are
made of thin material and are boned
to keep them erect and in shape.
The question Of collars and many
other accessories Of dress is limited
only by the inclination of the individ-
ual to set brain and fingers to work on
the development of novelties, for &C.
-ual cost enters in very small degree
nto the matter. Odds and ends of

ments the Cubs are ahead, Williams
leading in home runs with seven and
in total bases with SO: Zimmerman in
runs scored with 33, and F'lack in sac
rifice hits with 10. The leagues 500
