alero dress of navy-blue dotted foulard.
The pretty bolero style has come back
to us, and this is one Of the many at
tractiye models in which it is seen.
Some OF the new summer suits have
short bolero coats trimmed around
the edge with some form of embroid-
cry or stitching. A very smart model
was made of blue twill and foulard.
Foulard is put to other uses besides
the fashioning of dresses. It makes
very effective trimming on suits; for
instance, on collar, cuffs and pockets.
White-dotted blue foulard combines
well with navy or sand-colored serge
or twill.
Speaking of the combinations of
materials, one of the very newest eff
fects is that of using organdy and net
together. And speaking of organdy,
1t is to be very popular this summer
for entire dresses and also for trim+
ming. A white net summer frock worn
over pink organdy slip and trimmed
with bands of pale pink organdy on
the skirt was recently seen. A very
cool and refreshing frock for summer
it looked.
Silk Braid a Fashionable Trimming
The use Of flat woven silkbraid as a
trimming is becoming more and more
favored. Braid about half an inch in
width is applied on coats and skirts in
straight rows one above the other, and
at even distances apart. Sometimes the
braid covers an entire coat, sleeves
and ALL
Black braid ON navy blue, and dark
blue on tan are the combinations most
frequently seen. To accompany q
dark-blue coat, white flannel skirts
trimmed with rows of dark blue braic
are Sometimes used.
Capes Make Their Appearance
Coats with capes, and dresses with
capes, have been making their appear

short variety that were used some sea
sons ago. They are very long, a.

Hosiery and gloves embroidered
with stars and stripes are among the
latest novelties seen, showing the
extent to which patriotism may be
taken. There are also small silk
handkerchiefs edged with little flags,
and parasols edged with ribbon bear
ing the stars and stripes. Even par
asol of red, white and blue bunting
has been devised, with the colors used
alternately in each section.

Foulard Combined with Organdy or
GeOrgette
Every smartly-dressed woman re-
alizes that If she is to be up to date
! she must have dress of foulard in
her wardrobe this summer. Blue
foulard with large white polka-dots is
the kind one sees most of, but some
times the order is reversed and blue
dots standing out on white back
ground appear. They are just as smart
and even little new than the white
dots on the blue.
Foulard is often combined with
Georgette or organdy. In the sketch
it is combined with white Georgette
which is used for the soft, gathered
vest and collar, of a very modish bo-

Patriotism and Clothes

The patriotic spirit Of fag-decked
New York begins to make itself felt in
many Of the small accessories that

in the costume itself. With flags to
the right and flags to the left, it is
not to be wondered at that the spirit
Of the times is being reflected in our
clothes.
The red, white and blue colors are in
evidence everywhere. New vests and
collars of white silk or satin are edged
with narrow red, white and blue riD-
bon, or rows Of red and blue ribbon
are stitched around the edges Of
white collars. The vests are the very
latest addition to coats. and are 50
