For Summer Evenings

"a weather dresses for eve
4 m ming and formal afternoon
wear is solved. One of the
most frantic searches for clothes
that a woman ever makes is when
she looks for dresses of this
character.
The solution of the problem OF
what to wear in midsummer never
was very far away. 1t lay in
return to the simple, fashioned
white dress. For many years wom-
en- were inclined to, eschew the sim
pie white frocks that played sucn
an important part. in our grand
mothers days. They sought some
thing more important looking.
something more complicated.
This was a mistaken idea, for,
after all, women dress for mems ap-
proval. And the simple white frock
with colored ribbons that our
grandmothers wore ever was graft
flying to the masculine eye. Such
clothes are pretty and becoming
much more so than many of the i'm
portant models which women buy
because they know they are
models"
There is considerable diversity of
opinion as to whether women dress
for mems approval or to compete
with other women. If it is true that
it is the masculine eye that women
are trying to attract they had better
pin their faith to the simple, effec-
tive and youthful gowns.
Embroideries Replace the
1olOred NIbbOn Sash
THE oldfashioned white dress has
come back with variations. In
outline it is simple, simpler than it
ever was. 1t may be only straight
chemise frock but the note of color
which in the old days appeared in
sash now spreads itself over a large
part of the dress in the form of en-
broideries. While the embroidery is
profuse the designs are very simple
and usually in brilliant colors.
Red is a favorite color for the en-
livening note on white dresses. A
white dress embroidered in red Ia
at the left of to-day's page. 1t is
very simple model of white satin
beautifully embroidered in several
shades of red with slight mingling
of black, shaded gray and oyster
tones. The costume is completed by
a large hat from Reboux reminiscent
of the old-fashioned poke bonnet.
II is trimmed with old-time nosegays
of vari-colored field flowers.
Sometimes the embroideries are in
frosted silver threads, making the
garment like fairy robe. The
figure at the right of the one lust
described shows such a dress of
white satin with embroideries in
crystal beads and frosted silver
threads of fneness that is almost
incredible. Worn with this is hat

leaves delicately veined and most
natural looking.
Rodier is having tremendous
success with his blistered silks and
satins sold under various trade
mark names, notably Clocki. These
materials have been in great favor
since the spring openings and they
are now more popular than ever,
taking prominent place in sweater
coats. To certain extent suce
Jackets are replacing the knitted
sweater. These stand out as one
of the most charming. novelties Of
The season.
