Hip drapery makes the woman with large hips appear to have small- er ones than heretofore, and, of course, it is exceedingly graceful on slender figures. . The flowered materials a pe so prettily that they eamnot od to. be picturesque. A nosegray cr for af ternoon wear has a tunic puffed at the sides, pointed at the front, and superimposed on a plain, full founda- tion. A singlé cord outlines the tun- ic, taking the place of the customary hem or picot edge.: The bodice is strikingly novel. A bias fold of black velvet ribbon trims the front, extend- ing around the neck and is edged on the inside with accordion plaited ruf- fles shat fall over a vest of flesh col- or 'or chiffén cloth. The belt is of satin trimmed with buttons and un- der the waist is worn a guimpe self- material wigh satin cuffs, . Some of 'the frocks for mid-sum- mer feature the hip drapery to such an extent that some sort of frame- work is necessary under the dress of taffeta or batiste. Some makers out over the hips. Others prefer very full taffeta flounceés posed at the sides of' the foundation Taffeta, faille and chiffon grow more and more in tavor and will be seen fre- quently when the fall openings take place. Not only are they requisition- ed for formal costumes, but for in- formal dreses as well, Plaid taffetas make lively separate skin, espeéially the blue, green and lavander combinations. The skirts are draped at the sides, usually in artistic cascade effects, and trimmed with buttons. The double cascade that parts at the centre and falls front and back over the hips, is es- pecially desirable. Worn with a chif- fon or net waist worked with peasant embroidery such a skirt makes a stunning semi-informal toilette, This peasant embroidery is to be strongly featured during the coming season. The peasant influence is the expres. dion of the uncultivated appreciation and form, therefore it is striking-- sometimes crude. But properly man- ipulated it can be used to excellent advantage, It's also in keeping with Use & plece of crinoline which extends the accentuation of the simplicity A taamesasaare es LT NS ela re Sydenham.

The scarcity of help and the rainy weath- fer made slow work with the crop. The sad news came that Allan Bveretts was killed by a railway train at Brooks, Indiana. Friends here of Hibbert Johnston Arthurs congratulate Bim in being successful ng his examinations for en- are keynote. The peasant'is an' dutdoor creature, so the embroidery and dec- orations are taken from the flowers and birds about her. Tassels dangle like the catkins and blossoms on the trees; lace follows the shadow. tracery on the grass and so all through the untaught mind reproduces Nature in bold, garish' but beautiful freedom and this they' call 'simplicity. The Peasant dress gives many of our most modern effects, from the buckles on our pumps, to the earrings in our ears, the clocks on our si ings and the round Dutch, wide fichu Square, pointed or scalloped collars that we call mew each season, The sport costume is the super- fashion. Like the super-submarine, it acknowledges no barriers and runs the éntire blockade of modish attire. It is even hinted that the smock, in a modified form is to make its appear- ance in thé ballroom néxt winter. In- stead of being tashiored from silk, cloth, ete., it will 'be a filmy, dainty wisp of lace or net, supporting some spangled band at the shoulder and slipped over a skirt of equally diaph- anous stuff. trance into Normal school.
