IA fine summer outfit.
black lace frock by her is typical of
the prevailing mode In more ways
than one. It carries the harem hem,
the almost sleeveless bodice and the
nipped-in wafstline with the fullness
bullying both below and above. To
all intents and purposes the dress IL
Of lace, with the pattern in the sweep
ing curves common to Chantilly. Be-
low the waist there is a full peplum
and the satin is draped as scarf over
the shoulders, forming the only
sleeves there are and falling straight
to the hem at the front, leaving an
open space showing the lace, about
eight inches wide, in the center.
Drapery and Plating.
Several striped dresses In taffet0
have been noted that show the same
arrangement of drapery over the
is marvelously constructed of fine
plating. Variation Is found in the
way the plating is looped up at the
sides is a modified pannier effect.
Across the front OF the upper part tho
plafts are held In closely, like gfrdle.
and at each side allowed to fall loose
ly in a large loop. .-. .s.ts RI.
Drecon shows a Chartreuse colored
frock with the skirt draped in Chan
tilly and the gir1le forming wing-like
loops at the side, giving the desired
width.
On the whole new models are rather
scarce, suggesting that the best known
makers are not averse to holding back
as many Of their creations as they
may for later In the season. .
Whether by accident or following
the lead Of Paris, @ well-known Amer
lean designer turned out lately O
charming afternoon dress Of organdte
and black net, bearing out the asser-
ton that silks are no longer absolute
ly necessary in the construction of the
reception and dinner frock. at
The entire gown was Of French blue
organdie draped with the net in tuntc
fashion and edged with black lace. II
either this frock or the lace frocks
noted at the races are any indication,
the chemise dress is on the wane, for
each one is marked by decided waist
line and both show sashes tied In huge
bows at the back.
All the late models by Beer point 10
the fact that the farfng tunic over
tighter foundation will continue In
favor. 49,
Redinaetes Are Coming Back.
Cloth dresses in redingote style COM
tinue to appear and are quite the ac-
copied thing when wool dresses are
worn. From this the indications are
that the redingote will be among the
autumn models when they make their
on this side. Redingotes
were introduced two or three seasons
ago. At the time they did not make
any deep impression, but are now
rather surer of success, as any sug-
gestion of being extreme will be out
Of the question, and they are undoubt-
eddy smart.
AS the longer jacket is rather sure
of being the proper thing this fall. one
may have the same trouble as former
ly in trying to tell a dress from coat
or the reverse.
All authorities agree so far on the
wider hip line and the accentuated
fulIness about the hips, and this is
to be found in the coats and suit jack
cts, as we'll as in the frocks, where tt
has been seen principally so far.
Jenny is very active in turning out
suits, as it appears that the dolman
and even the cape are slightly less in
demand and it is anticipated that the |
suit will take the place to a certain |
extent.
