A Popular Summer Fabric—Hat
And Parasol En Costume.
New York, July 26.—Summer vaca
tion clothes may be as simple or as
elaborate as one's convictions and
one's pocketbook prescribe, but in
whichever direction your tastes lead
you, be sure you can be as chi in
one as in the other in the present
style. The woman who goes to very
smart hotels, or spends some time in
those homes where society resorts will
probably be outfitted by fashionable
modistes with the minimum of trouble
to herself, but the great mass of wo
men do not have clothes thrust upon

The ma
them in this easy manner,
jorlty achieves clothes with much con
sideration of ways and means, with
much contriving of the number and
style of gowns, incidentally finding a
pleasure of which the ivomeil who do
not have to plan know nothing.
Surely from the beautiful fabrics
and clever designs now to be had, a
woman of ingenuity can get together
for her summer vacation a wardobe
é which will supply her needs as com
jjspletely as many a more costly outfit.
--'ï'FirBt of all there is chiffon taffeta, in
lf \olor and quality, especially adapted to
the general utility gown. Two or even
three taffeta dresses will not be too
many for the summer visits if one
expects to take part in many social
entertainments.
The cut illustrates one of the smart
est of taffeta frocks, li is made of
the popular two-toned taffeta, dark,
brown and corn flower blue, combin
ing in a flickering shimmer of two
lovely tints. The simply made skirt
and waist are given a dressy appear
ance by the Venise lace Joan of Arc
over-waist. A finely tucked white
chiffon vest fills in the opening of the
surplice front and a lace belt outlines
the top of the high waist. The hat to
be worn with this costume is white
Leghorn underfaced with dark blue
velvet. A twiat of the two-toned taf
feta about the crown and a shaded
brown and blue feather bring it in
unison with the prevailing color
scheme.
Another pretty taffeta dress re
cently seen was a lavender and white
stripe. A scant flounce around the
bottom was scalloped and bound with
violet silk. Pipings of the violet silk
trimmed the low bodice and elbow
sleeves. A wide Spanish lace scarf
carelessly draped about the shoulders,
the long ends hanging down in front,
was a graceful fancy which gave char
acter to the costume. With the aid
of the many beautiful lace accessories
now for sale in all the shops the sim
plest taffeta drees attains the dignity
of a costume. A wise woman whose
Income restricts the number of her
dresses, will ensure a pleasing variety
in those she has by supplying herself
with several different lace trifles of
this sort for occasional wear.
Besides the taffeta dress the woman
who is getting ready for summer visits
must have plenty white skirts and
shirt waists. These are inexpensive
If she makes them herself, their
charm depending upon their simplicity.
She must have enough to insure ab
solute freshness at all times. Many
materials are used now for the so-call
ed shirt-waists skirts, linen, duck, pi
que and many pretty mercerized cot
ton goods which closely simulate linen
being seen in the shops. The real
linen skirt is perhaps not so popular
as it was a year or two ago. It does
not keep fresh as well as other fabrics,
and the prevailing fancy for corded
effects has brought pique and similar
textilar textiles to the force. Very
stylish this summer are the cotton
cords and wide wale piques. The lat
ter make very attractive skirts. The
best laste demands that they be cut
with as few seams as possible and
with little complication of lines. The
sole trimming should be buttons rath
er large, and either white pearl or
clear crystal. Pretty skirts are made
of white agaric or Turkish toweling
which comes in light weight and is
cool and summery. This material has
the advantage over pique and espe
cially over linen, that it does not
muss easily and does not have to be
laundered so frequently, two very im
portant considerations for the woman
who is engaged in the struggle of
keeping iter clothes at the top notch
of perfection away from home. Since
its introduction agaric has grown stead
ily in popular favor because of its
adaptability to many needs. It may
be used with equally pleasing results
for the lace-trimmed, one-piece gown
as for the separate tailored skirt. With
edge and insertion of Cluny or Not
tingham lace it makes chic and ser
viceable dress. Parasols and hats,
too, are made of this unique fabric.
A lace trimmed agaric constume with
liât and parasol to match makes a
gown suitable for garden party or
afternoon tea, survives the hottest

afternoon in irreproachable condition,
and has, moreover, the merit of be
ing entirely up-to-date. Although it
has the informality of an unpretentious
linen frock, its forwardness in the
world of fashions sets its w«prer
apart as a woman who dresses with
taste and distinction. The agaric
parasol is quite new, and, needless to
say, most attractive. The fabric is
stretched quite taut bver the ribs as
in any plain parasol, and the trim

had in flowered patterns as well as in
plain tinta. Smart dresses are those
with deep collar and cuffs of a flow
ered design on a ground to match the
plain shade of the dress. The same
material comes In silk as well as cot
ton. The Bilk agaric or Terry cloth
is acceptable for cuffs and collars on
serge suits. Both silk and cotton j

This hat question is a serious prob

We all know that a hat designed
especially for a costume adds that
final touch of elegance which enhances
and brings out the Aill beauty of the
dress. The person who cannot do
this, should have a good, well made
and becoming black hat. This will
look well with every gown and give
her always the charm of the well
dressed woman.

Meanwhile, it is not amusing to be
poor in a civilization which charges
the poor man for the little that he

Civilization will be improved by
making the men of power and ability

by the natural improvement called so

display of greater loyalty on the part
