oy White. Cretonne Trim- Mitts Add Fin- ishtothe Other- wise Spotless Costume. . By Margery Wells. ‘HITE, white, white—you see It everywhere. In the city, in the country, for motoring, for Sports, for every activity of the humanly, womanly day there ts some- thing in white waiting to be worn and to make you look your most attractive wolf, Every summer season we have had white, to be sure. But this year it passes all other established records. Tt has no Isolated place of operation. Tt ts seen in all circles and classes of society, making its extreme high mark where the dressing of smart women ts concerned. You will object, perhaps, that white ie extravagant. Well, that is true only in a way. But when you think how entirely susceptible it is to the @leansing and laundering process so Mecessary in summer weather, then You will have to revise that first and hasty, opinion. Then it presents so many compensations in the way of freshness apd comfort that one almost Welcomes its propensity, for frequent visits to the tub, White Linen Trimmed With ‘The two newest things of this sea- fon are cretonne and something in white. Now, in one of the dresses Shown in the picture there has been tmade a happy combination of the two, i for the brilliantly colored pattern of | : ‘the cretonne print has been cut out ag OR nd appliqued in bands to make the most effective sort of trimming. The linen in thfS dress is of that coarse and heavy variety which makes fugh unusually, satisfactory summer day, clothes, It has enough body to be a solidly made thing in itself and it has that eternal crispness which car- rles the coolest of looks if not always the coolest of feelings. Then when the thickness of this weave is com- ‘bined with the obvious coarseness of the cretonne and with the red, green and orange tints Inicely blended, why, we have a design that leads in the ‘Reld of summer clothes, Spanish Dancing Dress in White Taffeta. These new party frocks are surely lovely looking, for there is something ‘ 80 smart and youthful about them. ‘We cried when we heard that skirts must come down because we were afraid we would lose much of that girlish charm which we seemed to 4 have gained with the rising skirts, But, I ask you, could anything be more young and charming than the white Spanish dancing dress in the picture? The length of its skirt hasn't ‘one point to register against its youth- fulness, establishing the fact that charm lies, after all, in the way it is Not only is tI frock strictly Span- ish in its line and making, but it in- cludes that popular craze for white, with a touch of black, as well. The material is taffeta of that va. riety which has much of stiffness in ite appearance and which is, to the touch, extremely soft and pliable. Jt is @ magic fabric, for with its folds it does those things that are most be- coming and stops just short of per. Petrating anything which might be too obviously stiff and unattractive, ‘There is a huge black poppy at one Bide and from it the most graceful Streamers of black velvet ribbon trail away. Then there are petals of other Poppies just dotted at intervals around the rounded hemline of the skirt. Lace Mitts Are Being Done. It is rather astonishing to see the girls wearing lace mitts just like their grandmothers used to do. And it is all the more quaint when they elect to wear them with some dress with an extremely modern silhouette. But they do this all around the town. ‘The girl in the Spanish dress in the wearing them, too. is one thing about lace mitts keep the hands nice ani But their original purpose was garden parties and very dressy and now, when you see them suburban trains, the custom with it something of a shock. you can-wear them if you like for you have the stamp of fash- 8 4 ~ White In the City and Country, in Sports and on ' the Wing This ' Is a Season of ming and Lace fon with you in reviving the ancient custom, “6 The White Wool Suit One costume th white which has everything in {ts favor so far this sea. son is the suit with its matching cape ot white. Sometimes you need a suit that is warm and still you don't feel in the least like wearing the old stand- ‘by with its dark coloring and its most obvious fitness for fall or winter ‘wear. ‘Then, perhaps, you are the sort of girl who prefers not to wear on the street a thin or even a semi-trans- parent dress. If you must look neat and trim wherever you are goin; these regulation summer “little” dresses have a way of making you look as though you needéd a pressing. Now the white suit is just the thing to serve your purpose best this sea- son if you are in either of these pre- dicaments, It is cool looking. ‘The coat is usually made without a lining 80 that it is not too ‘bulky and hot. Then the skirt has that Property of always looking well tailored and of keeping its folds and its place without in the least giving up to any mussing Influences of rain or humidity or any other summer pest. It muy be a little hotter than the voile or the silk dress, but then there is this about it: “It is much more trim looking—makes you look much more of a self-possessed indiytdual even though you are swel- tering.

By Janet Winslow. © you want to freshen up your D summer wardrobe without go- ing to the expense of buying a whole new costume? You are only one of thousands if you are in that predicament, Then why don't you try a new hat? This can give you a feeling of Yashion superiority that it is hard to equal. A new hat can make a costume look as though it were all brand new from head to foot. After all, there is no inspiration like the one which comes from those flattering little words: “How well reu are looking to-day!" And have you ever noticed that a new hat is like @ magnet for drawing this sort of ejaculation from the friends you meet upon the street? It gives you that different and new appearance which just naturally makes you feel and look 100 per cent. better than you did in the old frame. And then it gives you an opportunity to think about ways and means or making toe old hat into a brand new one, wth another flattery magnet added to your personal account ‘The newest shade hat that one si 1 SOY + Cool, then your suit"shines out above df) AB oy, +8,” PRERAC A Y etetettn sr! x ee P< 434 all the daintiness in the neighborhood which started off in the morning with all the world its way. White Shoes With Black Trimmings The newer white shoes—and there must be white shoes with these white costumes—have lack trimmings when they are meant for the street or for sports. The smartest of them have pierced decorations of black patent leather. They are low of heel and most comfortable of fit, and they ay help to make the costume look its level Co best. White pumps have either one strap or two, and they come in suede, can- vas or leather, depending upon the cter of the gown with which they are to be worn.

It is a most fashionable interpretation of the shade hat and a most becoming addition to any private millinery »up- ply. This hat has three rows of intricately woven ribbons wound into each other to make its trimming.’ They are all very brilliant in coloring. Another hat of this same general type is trimmed with three rolls of velvét in different colors. Very often one-of the colors is silver or gold, so that a glitter, though ever so small, is added to the general effect. One that I saw recently had two cerise rolls,of velvet, one placed on top and the*other underneath the roll of shin- ing silver. ‘Then there fs the little turban made of,a succession of lacquered blossoms _sewed on 8g that they cover the en- tire surface of the delicately shape: little toque.

Black. HEREVER you go on your W vacation, whether it 1s to the mountains or the seashore, you will need a wrap of some sort, but you may not feel like investing in a new one for such a short time, Just look over the one you have at home and Perhaps you will be able to fix it over so that it will not only serve the pur- Pose but it will also be attractive. Capes of every description are be- ing worn this year, se if you have one, no matter what kind it may be, fix it over and get the good of it. You may have one with a vestee or a high military collar, which was so popular a few years ago. This is just the thing for the mountains. Take off the high collar and either put on a standing collar of fur or a shawl collar of the same material. Take out the vestee, and if the cape isn’t wide enough in the front, a fur or a satin border three or four inches wide may be added. A good way to lengthen a cape which is too short would be to sew deep fringe trim- ming around the bottom of it On the other hand, the silk capes are good for the seashore, You may think the dark cape you bought for spring wear is too subdued for the summer, but there are many ways of brightening it up. It may be em- broidered in attractive shades of wool, three rows of bright colored silk braid may be sewn a few inches from the hem or the edges may be piped with light colored ribbon. The coat is practical for either the seashore or the mountains. Perhaps the collar or the cuffs of your coat are worn, or it may be a little thread- bare along the edges, You may rem- edy this by binding all the edges with a heavy tape of the same ur a different color. A good way of fixing an old coat which would be especially suited for the seashore would be to make a tuxedo collar of plaid home- spun extehding it down the front of the coat to the hem, Cuffs and pateh pockets of the same material could also be added, Glimpses Into New York Shops By Emilie Hoffman. 4 a ELECTING an umbrella is no easy task nowadays. There is such a vast diversity In color, ornamen- tation and handles that ene becomes bewildered. Since the umbrella is now used as a protection against both rain and sun, it has become. part-of the costume and must .be'in harmeny with it. Manufacturers are this, hence the charming fancy umbrellas. we The newest umbrellas have striped borders. An interesting model in blue taffeta has an inner border of blue and white stripes arid on the outside a wide edgo-of blue satin. Another in black has a border effect in two gold stripes and the tips are of amber. The handle and top are a cofibination of amber and black and the side strap is of black leather. Black and white effects are prominent. There are many novel handles but the post handle with the strap running through 1s considered ;very smart. These handles range from the carved wood to the exquisitely carved amber, clot- sonne or some composition in color. Cameo carving ts new and handsome effects are carried out in amber, black and white. An umbrella now strongly feat ) in shops is of the folding ty, t fits snugly in a silk case which can be tucked into the traveling bag or the auto pocket. \ Notwithstanding the fact that ted attracts heat and physicians have protested against the wearing of red hats during hot weather, favor for this color has not abated, On the: contrary, red bids fair to sai} into the next season on the very crest otf”) fashion’s wave. It is being used’ largely in combination with other colors, Red and white ig a popular mode. A dresy in beaver has the collar, belt and‘panels in red. A navy kasha skirt is shown with a red blouse in matelasse with the wide collar and sleeve bands in the blue, A new black satin model is embroidered in red sille and steel beads. A pearl gray crepe is charmingly developed with the girdle and sleeves elaborately em- broidered in red. Women are gradually adopting the stocking that ends below the knee for hot weather, but for those who like the sock effect In appearance but pre- fer a long stocking there is @ brand new type. These are of striped silk in brilliant colozings, such as and red or broWn and beige how aged on, that extend up within @ .f inches of the knee where a horizontal band divides the stripe effect trom the Gpper flesh color portion of the! stocking so’ when worn they really look like socks, *
