to go as far as you like and to design
your own dresses according to your
own tastes. You have the sanction of
the French couturier behind you.
An excellent type of bingham dress
was made from red and white ROdier
fabric in q soft, thin wooden material,
but it is peculiarly well adapted to the
use of bingham or chintz or ratine or
any Of those heavier cotton materials.
The little Bramleigh collar is some
what in this design, changed so that it
hugs more closely about the throat and
then the little edging Of linen, from
which material the collar and cuffs are
made, is carried in q strip down the
entire length of the skirt. There was
black ribbon bow under the chin, and
the girl wore dropping black straw
hat with red dahlias massed about the
base of the crown.
The waistline of this plain little
frock is placed at an entirely normal
angle and the belt which holds 1t In
place there Is made of white kid to
repeat the other white touches on the
frock. The bodice is but slightly
bloused and the sleeves are gathered
a trife at the place where they meet
the flaring and turned-back cuffs.
The summer suit or the suit for
early spring is q portion Of women's
attire which must be considered all by
itself. 1t is something which is so
necessary, but If it is too thick or even
too thin, why then it fails entirely to
serve the very purpose for which 1t
was meant. 1t must be weighty enough
to serve for the cooler days and thin
enough to make it possible for wear
on days which become pretty we'll
heated, and before it is time to change
to the real thin summer frocks.
Will Use Heavier Silks.
This season many of these suits will
be made of the heavier silks. Some Of
them will be made of the cotton ra
tines. Others of them, of course, will
be made from the lighter weight serges
and varieties Of cashmere which are
now upon the market. But as for the
designs of the suits they will vie with
the dresses for utter simplicity. Some
of the coats are boxed. Some of them
are made on cape lines without any
Innings and some of them are little
short-belted jackets with rather full
peplums that flare out above the hips.
There will be linen suits, Of course.
and some made of those cotton ma
terials which are a combination of
cotton and linen and which do not
muss with nearly so much ease as
those which are made from pure linen.
There is one Of the belted suits
made Of white linen which shows a
very faint dark blue stripe. There
is a crossed waistcoat of printed linen
or blocked linen, as they call it, and
this shows both the blue and white
with sprinklings of vivid orange in
the design. The coat is an excellent
Illustration of those little ones that
are belted low about the hips, and
the skirt is made with just a little ex-
ira fullness at the side, where 1t is
made to close under two or three
fatty pressed plaits.
There are other suits made of ratine
which show the whole bodice con-
structed Of piece of brightly toned
chintz in the gayest Of patterns. OF
course this brilliant piece of pattern
only shows as the coat falls apart at
front, but there it does full justice to
itself in creating, really, the whole
decoration of the suit. This is a cos
tune suit in its best sense, and one
that will be able to serve more than
one purpose through the hot summer.
