Prophets of fashion say that we shall be governed by things military in the matter of clothes. We may therefore expect shorter shoulder lines, straight skirts, waistcoat effects, buttons and braids in decorations. The poise of the figure will change, and the prover thing in carriage will also be mili- tary. That is, this will all happen if the purveyors of fashion are right in their prédictions. But the transition from our loosely hanging, easy-going garments of to- day will not be too sudden. The gown pictured here shows signs of transi- tion. One first remarks in it the ab- sence of the long tunic and the disap- pearance of any extra drapery in the skirt. The skirt is, however, cut so that it does not hang in straight lines but has the effect of wrapping the figure somewhat. The small coat is provided with a set-in vest of chiffon velvet, extending from the under-arm seam to a point a little above the swell of the bust. It is finished across the back and sides with a plaiting of the fabric of 'WO very pretty bonnets which illus- trate little frivolities of headwear in which the summer girl is privileged to indulge herself are shown here. One of them, the beach bonnet, is pat- terned after the sun bonnet of long ago. But it is made of less substan- tial materials and suggests a short life and a merry one for its own ex- perience. The beach bonnet is also called a garden bonnet, and is, in fact, a sun bonnet to be put on for the practical purpose of shading the eyes and face whenever the girl on an out- ing may need it. These beach bonnets are made of thin wash fabrics, such as dimity, fig- ured lawns, organdies, cotton crepes, or any of the semi-transparent fabrics. They are trimmed with val laces. The bonnet in the picture is made of a lavender lawn. The brim is stiffened with an interlining of crinoline having a fine thread-wire sewed about the edge. It is trimmed with a band'of the lawn edged with val lace, which extends around the crown and forms two rosettes at the front. The crown is simply a puff of lawn. These little bonnets made as de- scribed may be successfully laundered it they are taken apart and the work very carefully done. In this case the brims are to be a little stiffened with starch. But laundering is really not counted in when they are constructed. They cost next to nothing and the same lace will serve on a new bonnet. They are very pretty in flowered lawns and in the quaint figured cotton crepes. The brims must not be too stifi, tor they are supposed to be “floppy” about the face. . A much more ambitious bonnet, de- signed for garden parties or other fes- tivities, and one which will do utvlul Graceful Gown in Gray Broadcloth — ] Designers Have By No Means Over- The Beach Bonnet, and Others the dress. This is “loped from the sides toward the back in a sharp curve. A short panel at the middle of the back hangs from above the waist line to more than half the length of the plaitings below. The body of the jacket is cut with the shoulder in one piece, and the three- quarter straight sleeve is set in with a little fullness at the top. The jacket is finished with a rolling collar of the velvet held in place by small wires, It 18 provided with buttonholes and large buttons matching those used to decorate the front of the skirt. ny way of a finishing touch a little pocket at each side 1s simulated. The bottom of the sleeves and of the jacket, the pocket-flap and the top of the sleeves, are decorated with a fine latticework of the smallest soutache braid. This decoration ap. pears again in a band across the front of the skirt. The dress is worn over a long-sleeved blouse of wash silk or crepe de chine. It is a graceful model on which one may safely decide while awalting the establishment of the military styles which are, so far, only rumored. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. both winter and summer, 18 shown in two views., It is made of velvet and lace. Ribbon and flowers are used in decorating this highly picturesque ex- ample of headwear from Carlier of Paris. A bonnet of this kind is made over a light wire frame. It is not an easy matter to accomplish it unless one understands something of the art of the professional milliner. In fact, to make so unusual a plece of head- wear requires much exercise of skill. The- example shown in the model is fascinating and full of distinction. It will prove a valuable asset to the smart woman who has occasion to vary her millinery. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Wraps for Evening. Old shawls make capital evening cloaks edged with lace and lined with a color. Persian and oriental shawls are best adapted to the purpose. Mex- ican shawls can be turned to the best account in the toilet, but old scarfs are invaluable for negligees mixed with tulle and flowers, and they drape evening dresses to great perfection. Scarfs will make panel backs to skirts, held together with any material that best assimilates with them, Spice Sachet. A satisfactory sachet for scenting powder or putting into little bags among your clothes or household linen 18 made for the most part of ordinary spices from the pantry shelf. It calls for equal quantities of ground mace, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and cara- way seed. All these spices should be freshly greund, so that they will be full of spicy odor. Weigh the com- bined ingredients and add the same amount of orris root, ground. , made in middy style, : FASHIONS FOR THE CHILDREN looked the Little Ones—Choice ] | of Materials Is Extensive. i Many of the children’s dresses are laced up the front and finished with a sailor collar. Others are in Norfolk style, and still others in bolero effect. The Russian dress and Oliver Twist dress are in high favor. In two-plece dresses the waist is usually of one fabric and the skirt of another. Plaids, checks and stripes combined with plain fabrics are well liked. Besides serges, gabardines, checks, stripes and novelty worsteds, wash fabrics, such as ginghams, per- cales, chambrays, linens, crepes and other heavy cottons are used. The long-waisted effects prevall, with the skirts in plaited, shirred, or tiered style. Dresses having front pan- els, with sashes starting from the sides, are pretty and new. Party frocks are of fine organdie, batiste, net and lace. Formerly all that was necessary in regard to a child’s coat was that it should be made of a good wearing ma- terial and fit well, but now it must be strictly up-to-date in style. Coat styles for women and children are closely related. This season, for instance, the cape effect, so popular in women's gar- ments, is equally popular for children. Cape coats of all sorts are seen, ranging from the short shoulder cape to the garment that falls over the sleeve. Some coats have capes that button on, so that they can be re- during that time. f 0. b.

Even collars are in imitation of grown-up styles, and modified flares, military collars, hood effects and shawl collars are promi. nent. Sleeves are of various kinds, including the modified kimono and the sleeve set on at the slightly dropped armhole. The fabrics are similar to those used by women. Trimmings of plain and striped velvets are for cloth coats, as well as furs and imitation furs. Fancy buttons and braids play a prominent part in the trimming of| children’s coats. The newest cotton crepe s a very fine close weaving, resembling its more expensive sister, crepe de chine, and the ratine—or sponge cloth—is al- s0 finer and closer than that worn last year. Both come in a large range of colors, of which at the moment pink is extremely fashionable, ranging from the palest blush to the decpest rose tints, also light or dark Pekin blue, mauve, mastic and dove gray. They are made up with plain skirts, double tunics and smart little coatees or bod- ices, and the sash is always a notable feature, often black, with embroidered ends finished with the new grelot fringe. Artificial Roses Are Smart. On the very smart taffeta frocks, ar tificial roses are used, either to catch up the skirt to the back of the collar or below the ceinture. This makes an original variety on dresses which might be otherwise somber.
