New York, June 2S.-Smart, con- servative women's ideas are getting broader all the time-when it comes to the shoulder treatment for their costumes, that is.
 It occurred to me last week, not | ing the very broad-shouldered effect of one georgette frock with a double bertha, that this is just one way of achieving a very slender waist ap- pcarance. Mayber we are all work ing back to the mid-Nictorion effect. where the feminine waist looked as if it could be spanned by a couple of hands, whether it could or not. Capes, berthas, ruffled collars and drop yokes and all kinds Of wide furs are in use on summer things. Quite a divergence really, from those sleek, poured-in and mould cred slender lines of last season.
 SIenderizing Effect
 Of course some of the fair debs just can't look ad-shouldered. Take June Hess. I saw her lunching at Pierre's. looking 1.-the and slend- CT in & printed frock of tiny white and pink flowers on q dark brown bacKground. But the pleated collar that rippled over her shoulders did tend to broaden them. The skirt had five little pleated ruffles to flare the frock out and heighten the ef- feet of the slender waistline.
 There's a vogue in vivid sports coats right now that is pleasingly stimulating. Mrs. George L. liar ras has a homespun coat of blazing yellow and red fingers on cream background. Badger collars it. The sleeves flare to a very wide cuff. It is three-quarter length and looks Tremendously smart topped by a small orange straw urban
 have called attention to the feminine grace of white silk pique before. But to fully appreciate it., one should see Alice kennys tunic overblouse of it with q pleated ruff file finishing the V neck and double ruffle flaring below the natural waistline. She wears it with a navy tailleur with three-quarters coat col Jared in soft grey summer fur.
 kerchief jewelry is new and quite in keeping with this summer that subdues the nonchalance of last sea- son's sport things Mrs. A. r. Mess more wore q little silver yacht placed amidship below the knot of the polka-dotted kerchlef she wore was collar to light blue cardigan suit of flannel.
 The use of the bowknot, or love knot" as some just must call it, is running riot in all kinds of access sories and decoration. Bernice Chrysler has one worked but in dark brown oN the tan upper to a three piece brown ensemble. With it she wears gold loveknots for bracelets and as tiny ornament for a stun ming brown pica straw hat with me- dium brim.
 Brown progresses in smartness until I would wager the smartest of women each will have at least one formal brown gown for next winter. Genevieve Fox was the exposure of all eyes on the Ritz roof recently, dancing in beautiful and most un- usual gown of cinnamon brown tulle. with each tier finished in cream lace, with moulded bodice finished with a square neck of lace.
 Black, White and Red
 The flair for red this season is welcome thing. Mrs. R. G. Wilson topped a black white chiffon en- semble at a garden party recently with red hat of floppy straw, and wore red sandals with parchment hosiery.
 White linen collars and cuffs and even separate vestees of fine hand worked linens are quite the vogue making me wonder again if we are en route to days of elaborate details of dressing reminiscent of the mid- Victorian days. Mrs. Sidney Whalen has lovely set of collars and cuffs of handworked linen on medium blue sports suit. Mrs. S. Bryce Wing is another woman with chic who knows just how effective and fem- mine lingerie touches are to ta1l- ored costumes.
