TT hese Frocks No, 6280, __PAQ® T"WEIVE e Cel No. 6267. In the midst of one season we con-|tiest frocks of mid-summer are car- template changes for another. Only last week we heard with a breath of relief the grave pronunciamento that mid-summer styles were settled. This week there are hints of autumn modes -- just a word, but enough to disturb one's peace of mind and make one wonder if the new things bought now will be of service a few months hence. One can feel perfectly safe in buy- ing a silk frock, for if the volumin- ous styles of the present carry over it will be necessary to tige silk ma- terials to develop them. Another reason--taffetas, twilled and ribbed | silks, Dresden effects, etc., are being produced in such great quantities that the manufacturers are sure of their popularity or there would be a change to other fabrics. \ it is a long way from silks to ging- hams, but mention must be made. of the latter because some of the dain- Discovery Enables Any One to Have Curly Hair Quite aecMentally some one made the difficovery that the application of ordinary liquid stlmerine would actual- ly turn straight hair curly and wavy in a few hours. She told her friends about it, who in turn told cthers .and now thousands of women have profited by the infofmation. The simplicity and hapmlessness of this method, and the way the hair dries in such pretty curls and erinkles, will appeal to any one who tries it The favorite way 4s to apply the sil. merine with a clean tooth brush be- fore retiring. The effect upon arising is quite surprising, the curliness hav- ing such a natural appearance and the hair 'being so bright. and lustrious Particularly will this be apprgciated by the habitual user of the d fling waving iron--which, happily, can now be discarded, The liquid silmerine, whivh can of course be obtained from any druggist, és neéther stioky aor greasy. A few ounces will keep the hair curly for many weeks.--Mirror of Fashion.

A plain blue| | frock which gives many hostages to| | fashion and yet no whit concedes its | practicality, is trimmed with check- |ed liner. The check is very bold in- | deed and strikes a sharp note of con- [trast with the gingham, which is of {that fine, satiny quality known as | Scotch." There Is a straight gather- | ed skirt finished with a deep band of | the checked trimming, and the low- {er front of the waist extends below | the girdle to rest on the skirt. A | vest of organdy, trimmed with black | buttons, is surmountedby a high cel- | lar that closes at the front,while two pointed flaps finish the upper edge. | One can imagine the controvertible qualities of this arrangements, for if the collar is unbuttoned the vest will {then have two tiny revers and a lay- | down collar. Bands of checked lin- en are stitched about the outer neck- line, which is cut in round effect and on the edge of the elbow sleeves. Checks have enlarged tonsiderably during the past few weeks, but they have been compelled to do so to keep apace with strip which have wid- ened.. For those ho want them there are amazing ®hecks, block . f- fects two inches, even three inches square, For morning wear there are de- lectable frocks in linen, cotton voile, marquisette, figured lawn, challis and dimity. Percale, as humble as it may sound, is also found made up in- to frocks that are as smart as they are inexpens"ve. The home dress- maker hag much to be thankful for in the straight gathered skirt, for there is nothing easier of accomplishment. The fullness at the top is disposed of in plaits, sometimes, instead of gath- ers, while the widest latitude is al- lowed in finishing the skirt.' Section- al ruffles are not hard to manage un- less one wishes to ring in some of the variations produced by shirrings, cable cording, corded tucks, ete. But the woman who, is careful usually sees her way cléar to manage such details before attemuting to carry details before attempting to carry them out. Among the ultra-fashionable trim- mings velvets play an important part slippers to parasols. And since furs have been worn so much this sum- mer velvet does not seem out of place. Some of the loveliest of the picture hats made of taffeta and trimmed with flowered ribbons have the brims faced with velvet. As far as the idea per se is concerned velvet hats are distinctly not new; but the latest models exploit many charming novelties. As for velvet hazel. | trimmed summer frocks they are le- gion. Narrow velvet bands are used on anything from tulle to silk, and tal flounces bound with marrow rib- bon velvet; also some pretty things are | 370 PRINCESS sr. ii Store closes 5 : | ing July and August.

The extremely short skirt is very trying to many figures, and few of the frocks made for the American wearers as as short as the average French frock of the same type. One sees here, also, rather more than among French models the underskirt effect with the mueh wider and more flaring overskirt, and some of the very prettiest summer frocks are of this order. The underskirt may show all around or only on the sides, but its suggestion of narrawness about the ankles is sometimes vast- ly more becoming than the unmitiga- ted flare of the ultra-wide skirt. Plain taffeta petticoats are made gay, by ruffles of flowered taffeta. Plaid taffeta petticoats have pinked ruchings of the plaid silk for trim- mings, Petticoats of plain taffeta in light.color are trimmed with wide inset bands of cream net on which narrow Valenciennes lace frills are applied in scalloped lines. The soft, lightweight satins and crepes are used as petticoat mater- lals, too, as. are the chiffons and laces, but none of these is capable of flaring in ultra-modish fashion with assistance, Luckily assistance i¢ at hand in the shape of narrow white crinoline bands to be run through hems or folds, fine supple reeds to be shirred into the skirt fullness, even amusing hoop skirts, which, while not so ample as those of civil war days, are quite substantial. The irregular bottom line does give first aid in some cases of wide skirt Injury,' and great ingenuity is shown in the handling of this line scallops, points, wall of Troy battle- ments all have their innings, and the very full ruffle at the skirt bottom gives, of course, an effect of irregul- ar edge. Some very mew imported muslin frocks, for which one must once more call the word quaint into ser- vice, are made of dotted swiss in the smallest and most 'thickly crowded of dot designs--a sort of swiss quite out. of use during recent years, though to our mothers and grandmo- thers it will look very familiar. ~ The question of the collar is more vital than the average woman reali- zes, and the unbecoming collar is a thing to be avoided, no matter how new or modish it may be. Many of the new collars thicken the neck line or conceal the shoulder line ina fashion extremely trying to the wo- man of short neck or high shoulders or too full figure. . there is nothing daintier than the pe- | Ba 3 a Noma' No. 6269. 44 inches bust, Costume No. 6267. 44 inches bust, Dress No. 6262. years.
