Back Vlw of a Midsummer
WJkln? Dress of Biscuit
Tussore and Net.
("Lucilf- Model)
By Lady Duff-Gordon
WHAT to wear In the dog day
la a problem that aometlme
make u algh (or the day
of the early Oreeka. One can be cool,
noweyer, It one keeps a few almple
rule. Wear white and cool soft
green and tana and also' light pink
and bines. The are mldaummer
color.
Here on this page I show a -couple
Of very practical Bummer walking
dresses one of tussore and net and
one of aerge. The evening dress Is
eJso adapted for the warm nights.
The little aerge reminds me of an
other 'typical and smart blue one
that has a short eacque coat bound
with braid and an array of braided
buttons fattening It loo 'atralght
waistcoat fronts of black satin. The
eklrt bangs In rery full 'pleat, which
are also bound with braid, the same
finish being given to the side-pockets
which' are a feature of quite a num
ber of the new skins. The ao
eessorle eonilst of boot made in the
same serge suiting with Just a vims
of patent leather, and a sailor hat
'with a aoft crown of black straw,
Joined' together in' the bond of
jnodlsh matrimony by' means of an
encircling array of flatly-laid black
wings, whose overhanging point
break, and therefore soften the
severe line of the trim.
'Then beige covert coating 1
another much favored fabric for the
making of these almple coat and
skirt costumes, black and white
'beadgear and footwear being fre
quent and amart accompaniments,
though sometimes yon will see and
then certainly admire boot all of
bronse place, or other of brown kid
with beige cloth upper, and then
to erown all. a long, narrow and
much tlp-tllted toque, perhap of
brown aatln bordered with a wreath
or flatly laid and aoftly abaded leave
and draped with a brown lace veil

women may and. Indeed must be
truly thankful thi eson. Tor It

black braid closely banded across
the strslght somewhat loosely hang

the aktrt. whose fulness all comes
from the closely pleated folds at
the aides.

the new "sword handle'' hut, which
wlna its name by its trimming of soft
plumage, two long quill feathers in
troduced at the left aide Into the
oft banding and looiw, helping to
ecare the desired, and very decor
ative, effect
The sailor ahape on which this
a word of piaoe and piquancy la
laid, 1 carried oat In navy blue
Ilk, and ft I also being made in all
black.
Of course, there are any nomber
of other coat-drease of navy aerge
which will, . perhapa. introduce a
device of fine braiding at the aides,
to mark the change from the straight
loose lines of the corsage to the out
ward flaring fulness of the skirt,
while others again will be arranged
with a very wide and quite loose
belt effect, or, perhapa. a broad eash
of the aame serge, bound with braid,
and crossed low down and loosely
about I lie Lips Home times, too, a
telling touch of contrasting color
will be Introduced aa. for Instance,
when the military color is of cerise
Unon embroidered in white and gold,
and when the buttons which figure
In front, and at the hip, are of a
brighter blue, set In the centre of a
square of gold, a somewhat labort
design of black braid and $outoche
being then carried down either aide.
So that, really, there ebould be a
coat-drea to suit every woman, which
1 fortunate, acelng that every woman
certainly need one of the partic
ular and well-nigh perfect garments,
which are probably going to do more
than anything else to. decide th
battle of the skirts, and to win th
victory for the new full model.
For thi style Is Infinitely more be
coming and easy to wear when thus
allied to a long utralght corsage, than
when made separately and more
closely Hiring about the waist
