Is the coquette in the worman which i
makes It neceasary for her to prove
she ts as fascinating in calico aa in

one; at any rate there are new and
Ixixnnlug stylos, .styles that improve
the apixNi, ranee on account of their
very simplicity.
Those who aro going South are, of
necessity, Interested in thin materials
and summery designs, but even stay
at-homes must plan ahead, and are
glad to do so with the many modea
and opportunities we have to study the

materials for the most part, aud every

Is t'ffectLvely used on these simple
frotks. Braiding is nurrow soutache,
very flat and artistically arranged. |
Sometimes there are panels pp the
skirt, side panels with large designs
placed near the hem. Sometimes the
waist has braiding on the collar, with
perhaps a touch of hand embroidery
to enhance the effect. We look to
Washington for our example in things
of national importance and we find
our answers there.

interesting than those of other, years.
The combinations ot colors, too, are
more artistic* for America has devoted
much time and study to dyes, and the
results are very successful. The model
Illustrated here, is of creamy-yellow
foulard with a Chinese-blue figure In
it. The Interesting collar, buttoning
onto the belt, and the odd cuff ar
rangement are of the same shade of
Mue in heavy satin,. "The skirt is
caught up in the back with two rath

Pearls seem to be the most precious
of Jewels to the woman of fashion.
She wears them with afternoon or ev
ening dresses, and with those half-way
affairs suitable for the afternoon or
evening. As a rule the strands are
long, coming below the waistline,
though the demure little necklet of
olden times gives an attractive touch
to the decollete gown. There are no
more "ball-gowns," those elaborate
costumes of peace - times: evening*
gowns, of the type of the dinner-gown
?f before the war; have taken tbelr
places.
There seems to -be no end to the uses
of organdie. Of course, whole dresses
are made of this crisp material, dress
es for mornlttg, afternoon and even

trimmed for their place tn the fash*

and vestees have long been made of

vanced a step further Into the rank*
of trimmings for mors formal cos*

found on stunning afternoon and semi
