II is the cheaper delicate Of these

II is often a good plan when one

select gowns that are not too extreme

as chains, parasols, pocket books.

French women have this linack of
selecting harmonizing novelties de-

most as much thought to the selec-
tion OF the pocket handkerchief as
to the gown itself They may argue

Summer Novelties.
Among the most fascinating of the
summer novelties are the new para
soils with the clever handles which
in reality are like Pandora's box
we know not what they hold. Some
Of them contain powder puffs and
lip-sticks; others are used for carry
ing perfumed candy drops, which per
fume the breath and still others are
but cases for cigarettes.
There is model favored at the
races that has dogs head carved
of wood as handle The mouth
opens and shuts and is made to hold
Milady's cigarette when she is not
smoking. Most Of these novelty par
asOls are short, reaching scarcely
to the hem of the skirt.
Many of the smart summer cos
tunes are combining red and white.
This combination is popular both for
dressy wear and for sport apparel
and the red and white idea is often
carried out in hand bags, shoes and
gloves. White sandal effects are
trimmed with red stitchings and
strings of red leather. There is a
new gauntlet glove that has red
and white checkerboard effect on the
cuff. In most Of the costumes de-
veloped in these two colors, white
is the predominating note, the red
being applied by way of trimming
such as piping or cross-stitching.
There is a "crispines" to gingham
which no other summery material
seems to possess. But it. is seldom
we find anything new to combine
with the gingham gown that will
raise it above the commonplace. The
prettiest gingham | have seen this
season combines red and white
checked gingham with white flannel.
The skirt which extends two inches
above the normal waist line is made
of white flannel leaving the upper
portion of the bodice to the gingham
material This frock is made on
straight chemise lines, has square
pockets of gingham on the skirt and
uses a red patent leather belt. The
V-neck has two panels in front and
one in the center back of white flan-
mel stitched with red. The short
sleeves have flannel cuffs finished
in the red stitching.
i,g ~ Separate Jacket.
THE separate jacket is playing an
important part among the smart CO.'S
tunes this season. They are smart
when soutached in all-over design,
stitched or embroidered, or when
made in the mannish Cardigan cuts
of wool, silk mixture or homespuns.
These later models are completely
ousting the sweaters off the fashion
calendar for sport wear.
When made of dressy materials the
