NOTES OF FASHIONS.

Wolfe is, if possible. more used than ever
this summer. and one of the most striking
wolfe frocks is made with a deep border
around the overskirt of sort of cutwork !,
edged and embroidered with dull white
glass beads.
The sweater is still in full vogue. and
one that is seen great deal at the sum-
mer places now is made without buttons.
There are wide. rolling fronts, that are
held in place by wide. soft girdle or
belt. that ties or buttons compactly to
hold the sweater in place. 1t is then al
lowed to roll back over the dainty blouse
beneath.
For the very small little$g girl we have
for long time been accustomed only to
white frocks. But now we have frocks OF
dainty colors-baby blue and faint pink
in the finest and sheerest OF wolfe. Some
times these are trimmed with little en-
broidery, sometimes with lace and some
times just with tucks.
Bead trimming is in high vogue, and
perhaps the reason il is SO successfully
used is because it is sold by the yard in
net-in fact, it consists of beads en-
briodered on bands of net of varying
width and in various designs One lovely
piece of beaded net is wide enough so
1t is of white. and black beads are en-,
broidered on ii in stripes running length
wise. A very dainty. very narrow valen-
ciennes lace Is inserted between the rows
of small black beads.
Polka dots embroidered In heavy colored
silk floss mark some Of the satin blouses.
Sometimes. IL the blouses are made with
peplums that are worn outside the skirt.
the dots form a design along the lower
edge Sometimes they appear only on
collar and cuffs.
The late-summer hats for eayly autumn
wear show so much velour and velvet that
II is difficult to think OF any other kind as
"A possibility There is much navy blue
and there is also much purple OF various
shades Sometimes the two colors are
combined, as in a hat of purple velours,
with a band OF velour swathed around the
crown. ending in two deep fringed ends

II you want to give a little more wear
to one OF your straw hats. get enough of
the heavily pleated maline to 20 around
the crown. This is sold by the yard in
all different qualities-some with only two
OF three thicknesses or layers, and some
with half dozen. OF course II doesn't

There are genuine armholes that hold

quently they are cut in battlement

which are edged with a thread of an
opposing color.
The loose armholes with its effect OF
being an imitation of a Chinese jacket
is also in fashion. but there is a lean
ing toward the exaggerated medieval
ism of the swinging armhole with
sleeve that protrudes from beneath il
and which does not borrow its charac-
teristics or even Its coloring. At times
1t inclines toward strong individuality.
