if there is no breeze. the soft, sub dued light that comes in under the awning lends grace and charm and luxurious sense of comfort to the room.
 Awnings cost quite bit when new. but they last many years and are a summer comfort and luxury that pays for itself many times over. If the porch faces north and does not really need awnings to keep out sunshine, a strip of awning material tackled across the upper spaces between the columns will shut off the glare of the sky and give the porch a much pleas anter and softer light. Or slat-screens which may b raised and lowered may be hung between the columns. This shading of strong daylight in rooms and porches in summer time is as im- portant a feature of charm in the home as is the shading of artificial lights in the winter season.

It's correct mannish cut at collar, shoulder and sleeve give just the right air to the costume.
 A sleeveless slipon of thin material demands some sort of blouse under it. Many of the new sweaters in slipon style are worn, French fashion, in lieu of blouses. but the effect is not good when the slipon is too thin or too open in stitch. Aside from the ob- yious display of shoulder-strapped camisole through gauzy silk sweat CT, there is a lack of correct style about the effect that makes it's wearer look just bit common. sweater is not supposed to be sheer blouse showing the underwear through and no woman of good taste will exploit the style. A chiffon blouse showing through'-or one of handkerchief linen; well, that is different. Such garments are supposed to be airy and transparent But not a garment of knitted material Ii is hard to define just the distinction, but it is there and recognized by all people who dress in good taste.
 Even with sleeveless slipons and frocks. however. the conventional shirtwaist has small chance. For there are hosts of guimpes made especially for wear with sleeveless blouses and dresses. Most of this years guimpes have some trimming down the front. for the new neckline is the deep V and the round neck and eton collar style is on the wane. A very stun ming new guimpe :s pictured. White eponge, that most fashionable new fabric Is used for collar, cuff and vestee and the blouse itself is of thin. cool crepe de chine. This guimpe is intended for wear with a coat open ing In Tuxedo fashion, or with linen or tweed sport suit in coat and brooches style. And a sleeveless coat or sweater will look well with the blouse, also A good feature of this guimpe is the fullness set in at the shoulders at either side of the eponge vestee.

 Another graduating dress pictured Is of white Georgette. with finely pressed (but not sewed -down) pleats from shoulder to hem: the froek in one piece and drawn in at the waist line under a soft sash of the ma terial. Graceful panel draperies are made at the sides of the skirt by run ming in corded shirrings at each hip. Small handmade roses of the Georgette trim these shirrings and the elbow sleeves.
 Lace On Frocks For Older Girls
 The girl of twenty-one or two. grad uating from college, wears something little older. than jeune file or gandy. Her frock must have dignity and distinction. But even these dresses are very simple and not sug- gestive of ostentatious expenditure
 A very beautiful frock is Illustrated; a model of white chiffon and net lace insertion, the airy fabric mounted over slip of thin white Chinese silk. Waist and skirt are tucked, with bands of lace set between the tucks and the sashends of chiffon fall below the hem of the skirt. The sleeve is especially pretty. in kimono style with the lace insertion dropping in a loose band below the elbow. Of

E " ttADO OAlAL1 put Surely the COn- W A ventional type of shirtwaist-the W M kind that has set-in. sleeves. a AN trimmed front, a trimmed collar, and lower edge that is tucked under the belt-has been pushed to the background by the more graceful. more picturesque blouses that go on over the head and fall in loose, grace full lines. Shirtwaists of the old type can now be picked up at bargain prices, even when they are made of beautiful materials. The only people who want them are matrons who wear them with white skirts and Tux edo sweaters in dignified and lady-like "sport clothes" effect.
 All the really stunning new blouses are in tunic style; or in tunic style with fitted belt holding in the soft draped lines of the blouse low at the hip. Even for sport wear are these tunic blouses demanded. They are as comfortable as middies-with infinite ly more chic; and there is opportunity for color expression never yielded by the rather prim white shirtwaists of seasons agone.
 With coat and brooches suit, how ever. one most positively wear waist and not tunic. The mannish- ness of the costume would be made an absurd comedy by tunic- blouse drawn in by a sash. With riding suits also a severe type of shirtwaist is required. But even with these cos tunes the old-style prim shirtwaist with lace-trimmed collar and sleeves fastened at the wrist with maddening little loops and buttons tonce deemed so dainty) has no chance at ali With her mannish suit woman wears a reg ulation mannish shirt that has loose but trim sleeves furnished with link cuffs, and a good length at the lower edge, to tuck down under the waist band of riding or sport brooches. Some young women even buy their sport shirts at haberdashery shops for men -or have them built to order by

ly across the figure is never graceful. yet there may be no gathers in the vestee itself. Putting gathers and soft looseness in the guimpe, outside the vestee and where the fnllness will not show beneath the coat fronts, is most excellent idea--especially for the woman of full figure.
 When it comes to the tunic blouses and the slipon blouses, there is almost no use in describing any New models follow each other so fast that what you saw yesterday will be forgotten by tomorrow and the best way is to pick up a blouse the instant it strikes your fancy-and then shut your eyes to the Vaccinations of those you see later. Two of the blouses, out yester- day--as 1t were-are pictured; the very last word in blouses, for this week at least One Is a sport blouse and the other an afternoon blouse of more formal type.

The Delight of Awnings

"A ONEY spent in awnings is very well worth while. even if you
 u khave to economize somewhere else in the home. Awnings are a sheer luxury; as far as practicability goes, rugs and furniture may be pro tected from strong summer sunshine by pulling down window shades. But the difference between rooms dark ened by drawn shades. and rooms made breezy and spacious in sugges- ton by shady awnings Is very great indeed. Awnings outside open win dows really give suggestion of spa ciousness to small room-they carry the perspective outward and onward beyond the walls of the room. You look into vista beyond and the flut- tering edge of the awning conveys a suggestion of coolness and of the breezy spaciousness of all outdoors. The very rattling of the awning sup ports in light breeze has it's pleas ant suggestion on a warm day. And

Keep Your Piano Tuned

~ VEN if you do not Intend to use " the piano all summer. have 1t " tuned before you so away to the country house. A piano should be tuned two or three times a year Mu- sicians who are very particular about their pianos have the tuning man come once a month.
 It is not necessary unless you are an accomplished pianist and play con stantly in company with violins or other instruments; or unless you are a singer and the piano is used for ac- compartments to- songs, to have your piano kept up to concert pitch. Many home-pianos are kept a little lower in pitch which is less strain on the wires and makes the tone lower ard softer.

 {" BOUT five years from now a lot A of June brides, intensely ab-
 sorbed in problems of white y N satin and train-lengths will be wondering humorously what all the fuss was about-back there in the past-about a graduating dress. But June belongs to the girl graduate just as much as it does to the bride and the little woman who is to take a diploma for years of-what she con siders-hard work, is quite as keen about her costume for the supreme occasion as the important bride-to- be Is about hers.
 And graduating frocks are as much a problem as ever they were-despite their perfect simplicity. The problem now is to get them simple enough All the funning and fretting used to be on the part of sweet sixteen, or eigh- teen; all the stern determination on the part of mother. The graduating gown-they called them gowns then absolutely must look sweetly girlish and youthful, according to mothers idea; while to the youthful fancy the thing was to be the best t-dressed girl on the platform. Now it is all re- versed. Mother does the fuming and fretting because sweet eighteen wants to wear tucked muslin and cotton stockings when a smart Georgette or crepe de chine with satin slippers would much better befit the young graduates style and her position in the community. And all the stern determination Is sweet eighteens But I don't want Georgette and satin slippers. None of the girls will dress up like that. We have had a meet ing of the class and decided to dress in simple, inexpensive clothes that any girl could afford even if she had to make her own graduating dress.
