RIVAL OF O ROAN DIB Wliite Idiien Bugs Are Beaded With Jet. N'eW York, June 4. ? ifyloHful frock a, guy materials, sensational * designs- ? ev erywhere everyone seems to be waiting for the summer weather to wear their Cherished conceits of the lutcst fashion. Materials are a riot of color and de sign. Silks are no longer of a solid color. Flowered designs grace the fab rics and weird forms make exception ally smart motifs on voiles und Georg ette. To relieve any possibility of an over-intense effect, tt plain material is used in 'contrast with the figured. <?> McCall ^ A Suggestion of a New Silhouette itutfled organdie is perhaps the fabric in the highest favor at present for sum mer dresses. Its dainty appearance and good wearnig qualities are two of the reasons for its popularity. This may be obtained in different widths and in some instances the entire skirt is made of these tiny ruffles placed one over the other. As a dose rival of organdie, net has taken a stand. This rather quaint ma terial d* tinted in the same pasted shades as organdie. The style of the frocks is much like the organdie ones, and the same nv*le of trimming is also used. They are berufflcd and friJled and just every bit as dainty as their or gandie rivals and ? a s?"cret ? a trifle more exclusive. Cotton net wears well and is quite easily laundered. Linen developed in the simplest of xtylefc, usually in the one-piece chemise effect, is embroidered in wool of bright color, for dresses for t lie very warm weather. Sometimes a binding of wool braid is used about the edges and tiny loops hang from it. The new shade that Paris so readily sanctioned as the latest and smartest Mr every garment from the unseen lingerie to the tiniest bow of trimming on the fri>ck, has completely invaded the realm of lingerie. This color is citron, and is seen in crepe deChine and linen. Jade-green is also quite popular, but these ure but nove4tie? and not In the least wise for the woman of moderate allowance to invest in. Oounso laces are replacing Valenciennes to a large extent on fine French lingerie. Wants--For Sale FOR 8AL.E? Seven share* Enterprise ltiiiMing bikI Ix>?n stork. Apply to K. L.
