They are a printed berder in deep red and a bright tone of blue. = This aids the! aressmaker in a most gratifying way to solve the problem of trimming. If we are to wear simple lines, and to depend on our original material for our effects, then we may often be! in despair as to how to get in our color. Parasols are among the charming 9 . shade of stripped black and white silk, whose black velvet border is so sharply Van Dyked that is seems to be pointed along both sides. intermittently during the last two de- cades.

Although! some of the countries at war have re-| quested that the women refrain from wearing mourning, black and white | are being used more than ever, and artistic dressnlakers are making 'the} most of the opportunity to prodyce clever effects with the combination. In many instances what little there | is of a bedice has the neck and arm-holes cut out in very decided] »fashion, the edges finished with em- broidered scallops. This is worn! over a guimpe of some soft, filmy stuff, preferably batistes or handker- chief linen, because these two mater- | ials launder so perfectly. The old-time fan pleats are again to be found at the side seams of plain but full skirts--one might whis- per "gored," Yokes are not new, but they are being emphasized with the latest of the modes, so that they 'continue to demand fashionable at-| tention. Given abundance of lovely mater-! lals in refined but not gloomy color- | ings and modes capable of conserva-| tive adaptation we should have a sea- | son of charming summer dress for women. The early models in simple! {summer frocks show considerable re-| liance upon: a development of the | combination of materials idea which i has found popularity during the au-| tumn and winter: Many of the prettiest frocks combine a heavy ma- | - terial with a thin one in one tone| or in contrasting color effects, and two sheer stuffs of contrasting color! or design are also frequently com- bined. ~ One of the simplest and most ef-| fective skirts for soft sheer cotton of linen is shirred at the waistband and | falls in straight full folds, trimmed merely by some arrangement of bands or folds. The folds give opportu- | nity for effective introduction of con-! trasting material with little effort,! and, particularly when an overblouse | of the fold or band material is used, ! i the idea is a happy one.
