The Vogue Of Organdie.

A very charming gown met at the
tea hour is of a soft satin in dark
blue. The skirt is plated in clus-
tiers and there is rather novel blouse
with an open front suggestive Of the
tuxedo idea and this front is filled with
finely plated white organdie which is
huttoned right down the front and
finished with high collar Of the same
material and cravat Of black satin,
The sleeves of the blouse are short,
too. and beneath them are prettily
ruffed under sleeves of the organdie.
1t is very charming costume and en-
(phasizes this feature in most inter-
esting way As one Of the best known
fashion writer's has stated, "You may
choose many features Of your Spring
costume to suit yourself. but you must
include organdie for the accessories
if you shall be quite up-to-date."
There is lust little tendency toward
introducing the high stock and the
iabot with costumes of certain order.
A very pretty one which combines
white and figured foulard is finished
with high stock collar and a straight
gathered jabot Of white organdie. the
iabot being finished at its lower edge
with a band OF hlet lace. Organdie
collars appear upon great many OF
the street dresses, too. A very lovely
one which is of biscuit colored silk has
many new features, but owes certain
exquisite daintiness to the collar which
isdeep and square at the back taper
ing to points at the front and which
is Of white organdie with just a little
narrow edge Of the favorite filet.
We are to wear great many taffeta
costumes. A very attractive one
shows plated skirt of biscuit colored
taffeta with a chemise blouse Of chiffon
in the same color and the skirt Of this
blouse is embroidered with blue silk =
in large discs surrounded by little dots
to give a quantity Japanese sugges-
ton. There are blue ribbons that are
crossed over in the corsage, too, under
chiffon that continue the note Of color
but the feature that is in mind at the

The Cape is in Favor

We are to wear capes and capes 81
every sort it would SEEM They are
shown in very graceful and attractive
variety and very beautiful colors.
and undoubtedly they will take for a
time. They really make ideal piazza
wraps and wraps for general Summer
evening wear and they are perfect to
wrap about one at the beach. They
are offered in the simple circular form
with hoods, they are offered in burnous
form which consists Of Just one long
straight piece, over edges caught t.
form the hood at the back and they
are shown in the more elaborate torn
with waistcoats attached. The lase
named have something Of the military
suggestion and are liked for the street
and for motoring and for general wear.
The simpler wraps are pretty for even.
ing and for afternoon when Just a
light wrap is wanted OF for morning
wear upon the beach. There is no
other wrap that drapes the figure
quite 80 well over bathing suit and
there is none that can be trusted g
take more graceful or more becoming
lines. For afternoon and for the
piazza, the softest. loveliest satins
are being made into these capes and
they are lined either with the same
material or with crepe Or with chiffon
to give brilliant notes Of contrasting
color that undoubtedly will add to the
general picturesqueness Of Summer
scenes. The capes that are designed
for the motor and for the street and
that are made with waist-coats ara
shown in silk and in satin and in serge.
but perhaps the wool ones have
greater vogue. There, is a general
tendency toward the use of black and
white. A very handsome model is
made Of light weight black broadcloth
lined throughout with cream serge
and with serge waist coat.

IN SPITE of the very vital and inn
portant matters that are occu-
plying the feminine as we'll as the
masculine mind at the moment, the
question of fashions continue to be of
interest. 1t has been we'll and truly
said that it is important to keep
business as nearly normal as possible
and business only can be kept normal
through the buying public. Economy
must be practiced to some extent, but
We should not push it to an extreme
nor should we hoard. Money must
be kept in circulation. otherwise
there will be lack Of employment for
many and consequent suffering. I'm
doubtedly, we women will want a
great many simple garments, but we
also must bear in mind the lessons
that have been taught us by France
and by England and remember that
so far as the purse allows, the regular
output for clothing must be continued.

match the prevailing one, or, make
the entire costume of a plaid and trim
it with plain white linen or linen to
match one of the colors Of the plaid
as you prefer. Such costume means
very little labor for the making and
gives great satisfaction. The linens
and cottons can be Numbered again
and again and they come forth from
the tub new after each cleansing.
therefore. they will be more durable
and represent more general condi-
ton OF daintiness than it is possible to
obtain with silks no matter how
attractive they may be- Poplins are
much liked for sports dresses, too.
and you could make this same coat
suit of white combined with really
bright color as green or blue or rose
to be very charming. Cotton gabar-
dine is favorite for frocks Of the
tailored order, too, and is to be found
in plain and in stripes and figures
Linen is always standby, but the
linens this season are exceptionally
attractive. They are shown in q
variety of effects and in very beautiful
colors notwithstanding the disad-
vantages under which the manufac-
turers are laboring.
The little frock that is shown
trimmed with embroidery is made of
rose-colored linen and the embroidery
is white. 1t is very charming and at
the same time it is durable and will
give service throughout the season
AZ a matter of course the color can be
overwhelmingly, but there is some
thing very childlike about rose color
or coral and such pinks are greatly in
vogue. If you do not care for the
banding, you can make the skirt
plain and embroider the collar, the
cuffs and the belt and the front of
the blouse by hand. using a simple
design. The very simple embroid-
cries are the preferred ones and any
bit of hand work will always give a
touch of distinction to a costume.
We never have had such a variety
of chambries, not alone the familiar
rose and blue, we also have a very
charming green and a really very
wonderful buff and buff is exceed
ingly fashionable this season. The
plain tailored little dress that is held
by two narrow belts at the waist line
is made of the buff with black velvet
ribbon serving to hold it at the waist
line, and the velvet ribbon is held by
tiny buttons. 1t is very smart little
frock, yet it is the simplest thing in
the world to make also the simplest

Ginghans are in Favor.

For the Summer there will be
great many charming gowns Of simple
washable materials worn for the morn
ing and indeed during the afternoon
hours for informal occasions and eing-
ham is a conspicuous favorte. 1t is
always a pretty material and this year
it is shown in very beautiful colors
and designs. The most fashionable
resorts of the Spring have determined
its vogue. Sports suits combining
the Bingham with pongee and OF
afternoon gowns that combined with
crepe have been seen, but these simple
ones under discussion today are for
the most part, made entirely OF
Bingham with perhaps little contrast
ing material to give color effect and
very generally with white oreandie
or linen accessories, collars, cuffs and
the like. Organdie is a pronounced
favorite for Just such details OF dress.
1t is always exquisitely dainty and ii
fine sort is purchased it is durable
and launders WE'LL Perhaps every
reader does not know that the finest
organdie owes its crispness to treat
ment that is given the threads and
which. therefore, does not wash out.
The organdie that grows limp after
the first laundering is rendered crisp
by treatment that is given after it
is woven and that treatment will not
withstand soap and water, therefore,
it is the fine organdie that is the most
economical and that is the organdie
that should be sought and purchased.
Fine white cotton wolfe and linen are

HERE never was time when
the fashions for the younger con.
tingent were more attractivethan
they are at this moment. Simple ma
terials are having great vogue.
Bingham is conspicuous favorite
, and lawn and batiste and organdie
and muslins Of all sorts are eyten-
sively worn, and. since they are per
iectly adapted to children the out
look is an attractive one. There is
{ a general simplicity in style. too, that
renders the garments childlike. Alto
.ether, whether you are considering
rostumes to be worn during the hours
y play or those to be devoted to after
noon occasions, you will find that there
is very charming and very varied
assortment from which to choose.
For morning and for playtime, the
simple little frocks that are made in
ane-piece style are apt to be pre-
ierred, and there are some very pretty
ones shown in the illustration. They
can be copied in linen or in poplin
or in Bingham and they will be charm
ing whichever you select. The
ginghams Of the season are exception
ally beautiful and they are very much
worn. not alone by children, but also
BY the best dressed mothers. But
besides the ginghams there are plain
chambries that are shown in an at
tractive variety Of colors and there
are really wonderful effects to be OBJ
tanned by the use of cotton poplin
1t 10 found in such a great variety of
colors that you can touch a white
dress with bright color to make it
really picturesque. and you can do
many things that once would have
seemed impossible with simple cotton
materials.
For the afternoon frocks, there are
the most charming cotton voilesand
,batistes and muslins and what not
while there are very charming embroid-
cred swiss muslins and the fine white
organdies are just the prettiest things
that could be thought of. When the
girls are old enough to want sports
costumes, they can be made of simple
silk, but as a very general rule the
cotton and linen fabrics are the better.
There is pretty little coat suit shown
on one Of the figures. Here, it is made
OF striped cotton material with a
plain one, but you can use the design
for gingham and make most attrsc-
tive little costume. Let the skirt
and the trimming be Of a pretty pIai6y
in which childlike colors appear and \

moment is the collar Of white organdis
that finishes the neck edge.
A very generous number Of under
sleeves are being shown and as pretty
an afternoon gown Of foulard as could
be wished and which makes part Of
a Spring trousseau is of biscuit color
dotted with blue and combined with
plain blue silk. The blouse forms q
shallow square neck and is made with
pretty haring sleeves that terminates

and since there is not sufficient or
candle to supply all the demand, it is
we'll that it should be so. These bright
Spring days are bringing out great
number of we'll dressed women and
the favor of the organdie is con-
spicuous at the hotel teas and lunch
cons and wherever the fashionable
world resorts.

Fascinating Simplicity Marks the Childrens Fashions

10 launder. AT the right of this figure
there is guimpe frock and that
guimpe frock is made of a plaid
Bingham over a white lawn blouse
1t is Just as pretty and smart and
attractive as can be.
When you are considering party
rock or an afternoon dress or a dress
that can be worn to fete given on
the lawn, lace insertion and dainty
materials Immediately come to mind
The pretty little model that is shown
in the upper illustration is very charm
ing and it has just touch Of quaint
ness that belongs to the season, while
at the same time it is essentially child
ike. 1t is simple, too, for the skirt is
a straight gathered one and the blouse
involves no intricasies whatsoever.
Muslin OF the simple familiar dotted
sort is the material shown but you
can find swiss muslin in variety of
designs or you could copy this in a
plaid organdie if you do nut like a
plain material and plaid organdie will
be rust as childlike as is muslin and
perhaps little newer to the present
generation at least.
We are wearing colored muslin
dresses as we'll as white and colored
organdie would be pretty trimmed
with white lace, or you could make
the dress of colored organdie and
the bertha Of white. If you do not
care for the high neck, the bodice
portion can be cut out on the upper
line of the bertha and for warm
weather a great many mothers will
prefer that treatment. The round
neck and the long sleeves are exceed
ingly smart used together. That com
bination makes a feature Of the grown
up fashions and we can always trust
those of the children to follow the
trend established by their elders; but
notwithstanding that fact you can
use short sleeves if you like, and for
very warm weather the short. pulled
sleeves are, perhaps, to be preferred.
The bertha is liked this season and it
is apt to give breadth to the childish
figure but the irock will be quite
complete without it. For some ma
terials and on some hghres it will be
pretty to use just the full little baby
waist with its short sleeves. Organdie
would be very charming made in this
way for organdie seems to cry out
for simplicity.
