The ven in blouses is shown at the front and back pulled jthe figure. fdingote in the center of the ¥ell fllustrates this contention. It is an autumn model and, as can be seen, has fullness at the sides and is flat front and back. . This model is built of heavy blue gaberdine, the in- croyable collar being made of heavy faille silk. The redingote is buttoned straight down the front, the applied belt also being fastened In the same manner. f . & ; But, though the faint rustlings of the autumn fashions are heard, the fluffy, frilly, fancy creations for summer are still with us, and, if the wide skirts might seem ungraceful to our eyes in heavy materials, surely we cannot com- plain about them in the soft, thin fab- rics of summer. Instance the handsome gown dotted with - coln spots of embroidery which is shown in this illustration. The ma- terial is white organdie, the dots being of nattier blue, and narrow val lace is effectively used as a trimming. The bodice is simple, with yoke and tops of sleeves of plain organdie. The collar is much like a fichu, the ends crossing at the front. Pictured with this, at the right, is a frilly frock of net, figured with pink roses. The skirt is made with two ruffies, finished at the edge with tiny knife plaitings of plain net. A peplum at the back is finished in the samie manner, and white buttons with pink rims trim this, as well as the blouse fronts. The blouse has a vest and collar of embroidered organdie. The hat is made of the figured net, with an edg- ing of the knife plaited plain net. The parasol is of alternating stripes of pink and white silk.

THEY are so odd, indeed, that you see only one hat trimmed in the same way, at once a relief to the mo- notony and a strain on one’s hat choos- ing powers. If you are out for decided novelty, how about a soft black milan with dull blue velvet streamers caught to the crown with sure enough sea- shells—pretty, polished and variegated shells, exactly like the souvenirs you once haled from the seashore? If you are very brave there is a Spanish mat- ador's hat in pink georgette crape and THE CRETONNE RAGE. ES, they are using it by reams and square miles for every piece of feminine apparel under the sun. It started with a garden apron; a few suspenders were added, and it was call- ed a *“garden frock.” Then some one thought that her especial pattern of cretorine would make a cheerful sepa- rate skirt for morning wear with thin blouses, and, lo, a thousand other peo- ple ‘thought so too! And now there is a cretonne coat suit in one shop and pink hemp with pink ball fringe hang- ing from brim edge and crown top. Porcelain flowers in odd colors and| highly polished, much like a spray | plucked from a mid-Victorian mantel- piece vase, trim a midnight blue toque | of rough straw, while the necklace of | a Cherokee princess dangles alluringly cretonne lined coats in another, while we have had whole bevies of cre- tonne beach costumes for the bathing season. Perhaps|the prettiest use of this cheerful fabric is for children's morning dresses, and when combined with plain colored linen for pockets, collar, cuffs and sash and topped with from the side of a green taffeta sports hat. a quaint cretonne sunbonnet the effect is almost too good to be true. % TIMELY 0000000000000 Berry Gems.

Perhaps in a reaction from somber black, practical russet and simple white women have gone quite foolish over the new shoes and boots. None s0 poor or so modest that she will not achieve high laced boots of gray or putty color or blue or white, pumps of white kid and black patent leather, But the sweaters of the summer gifl are the pride of her heart, for never, I venture to say, in the history of the sweater has it been made in such won- derful colors or in such rich materials. The three sweaters shown {llustrate my point. The sweater upon the ex- treme left is of pink and white striped silk trimmed with borders of plain white and buttoned with striped knit- ted buttons. The collar and sash ars of the same material, the sash finished with pink silk tassels, Next is shown a green and white striped sweater, severely plain, and in this case knitted of fleecy Shetland wool. The hat/worn with it is of white felt, with a band of green and white encircling the crown. At the right of the picture is shown a very charming sweater. The color scheme i& purple and white carried out also in the sports hat worn with it. ot NEW FOOTWEAR VERY PRETTY spats of white or chamols or pearl gray. And the reality is far more ex- citing than the mere statement sounds, for these effects in pear] and gray and blue and white, etc., are built up on new lines, are elaborated in devious and amazing ways. Some of the new shoes and boots and slippers are bewitchingly pretty. Many are merely bizarre. Most of them—and here comes the crux of the situation— are il fitted to purposes of ecohomy and utility.
