I draws near. When we reach

seem, very close and the average
woman is much occupied with plans
for the spending of the long, bright
day*. Whether she will go to a hotel,
to one of the fascinating mountain

that the subject one of general
interest. As a prelude to the teal
holidays, there will be, of course, the

therefore, while ; the costume for golf,

Since the season is one of essentially
I feminine effects and lovely -§ fabrics,
such coitumes are somewhat unusually

in really wonderful colors, designs and weaves, so that there is nothing ~ like f sameness or ~
monotony. A great many silks are made in lingerie style with trimming of lace * and .' of fine

ceivable is already in the process of
making for early in May. It is not
designed for the graduate s but for the
girl who has still a year of study ahead.
and consequently, it shows touches of .
color, but. for that very reason, it
makes a good > model .■ for summer needs,
for the dance, for the dinner and for
any occasion that occurs during even
ing hours. The foundation slip is of
the softest India silk in a beautiful
ehade of rose pink. The ekut consists
of two flounces of 1 >hadow lace in the
softest possible shade of cream and.
over the foundation, beneath % the i edge
of the upper flounce,, there ib arranged
a garland of tiny little chiffon roses
