AND each side of the front panel. Then came wide sleeves bagging over the long tight cuffs, and there was a little shoulder cape of blue linen with a shorter cape falling over it. Both capes were trimmed with ribbon and were buttoned upon the waist with big white pearl buttons. ‘The girdle was a wid:firui ed band of linen folded around the whist and brought down to a low point in the middle of the front. A shirt waist suit, intended for a Wash- ington girl, is made of ecru cotton goods highly mercerized. The skirt has the tinfest tucks around the belt, all laid in pin clusters, while below these little tucks the skirt stretches away In_one unbroken sweep to the very tip of the demi train. Around the foot of the skirt there is a little trimming in heavy white insertion Jaid upon badnds of deep blue cotton goods. The walist has its triming of lace on banas of blue, it tucks and its plain unbroken lines of bust and sleeve. The Shoulder Trimmings. ‘While a great many of the shirt walst suits preserve the features of the shirt walsts in that they have a simple little waist with a skirt to match, ‘e great many of them are made elaborately with shoulder trimmings. And of all the shoulder trimmings none is as popular as the shoulder cape. This is made of lace and is as deep as the shoulders, and a little deeper, falling over the upper arm. This deep lace shoulder caps comes In very nice lace and costs a little fortune But you can buy it in the cheaper laces A SHIR BARPLEN FARTY. > and, then, it can be had for very nttla It dresses up & short walst suit wonder- fully and makes it seem more fit for street wear. More tham this, the lace shoulder cape is warm, for lace has a warmti of its own, and It can be thrown around ome in driving or sailing, or on cool evenings. It thus becomes a useful as well as a picturesque article of d But the lace shoulder cape can be ma somewhat newer if it be trimmed. ( way of trea g these lace capes is high approved by modistes They take a | cape that comes down well over shoulder seams and line it with libert to match the The cape is now quits a pretentious little article of dress and can be worn Instead of a coat if need be. Capes that consist of bands of insertion, each band sewed separately upon ribbon, are sewed together and thrown around the shoulders. They are deep enough to give the long slope to the shoulders, n..nd. s0, they go & great way toward creating the fashlonable figure. There is a shoulder cape that is mads ©of ruffies and ruchings of chiffon, laid upen a foundation, with little ruffles of lace set In between the ruchings of chif- fon. These are very airy looking and very comfortable on a cool day. They can cut with long graceful stoles and can be caught under the chin with & wide hand- some pin. The hat must, of course, match this cape. The object of the shoulder trimming, or the lace cape. upon the shirt waist is to make the shoulders look drooping. Any- thing that will accentuate the shoulder line is to be desired and the cape certainiy does this. But, at the same time, it has a tendency to make the figurs a little mature, so that the woman who is going to wear anything of this kind must be sure that it is a very short cape, mnot one that falls to the walst line, which is a very ugly length All sorts of shoulder capes, and capes in all sorts of conditions, are being worn and you can scarcely go amiss in making such an article of dress if you will fit it to your shoulders and fasten it in front with long ends The foul walst suits are so ° pretty and varied treat- a mistake purpose of oulard has ha making up one of the great advantage ov terfals of b as one Intende be made up a bride’s gown or plain enc A July bride Is traveling d od enough for mmer wedding is pink, h Another v eream col scattered i are bands of What kind shirt waist tates many - can reply that ar of can be becomingly worn The day of the severe hat seems tb have go o wear any hat that er without regard tu er sowa.
