Made President.
Here is an afternoon toilette in
which the graceful gown is made of
"midnight" blue taffeta and is worn
with a neckpiece of ostrich feathers
and crepe. The hat of blue straw Is
trimmed with velvet ribbon and big.
full-bloom garden roses and their deep
green foliage. Every detail of this
costume is up to date and tasteful
therefore, worth consideration.
Tho gown shows a skirt having sin
gle box-plaits Joined to a yoke, of easy
adjustment to the figure. It is not as
short as skirts for tailored gowns, but
reaches to tho instep. Tho plaited
portion of the skirt is set on to tho
yoke vlth a piping of the silk, and the
bottom of tho skirt is finished with a
narrow binding.
Tho bodice is draped, giving the ef
fect of a sleeveless coatee. All edges
and seams are finished with pipings,
and thore is a widely flaring collar
with wings wired to hold its curving
outlines. This, and tho remarkably
attractive sleeves; bestow much of Kb
distinction upon this refined and beau
tiful design. In truth collars and cuffs
appear to be the arbiters of fate for
Midsummer Millinery Allurements
Two beautiful dress hats emphasize
the fact that hats large or small or
anywhere between may bo chosen by
milady when she centers her atten
tion upon hor summer millinery. The
matter of oizo need only bo consid
ered in connection with that of be
comingness. Tho little hat still holds
Its own In a glorious company of
newly' arrlvod picturesque wide
brimmed allurements that pleasingly
distract the attention and divide the
honors.
Without doubt the trend Is toward
tho large hat for midsummer. And if
a vote might bo taken and rocorded
as to which is tho most beautiful of
all hats the chances are tho big black
cloture hat would bo conceded to bo
the favorite of womankind and man
kind, too.
A masterpiece in the art of millinery
Is pictured here in tho lovely wide
brimmed hat of black lace and velvet
The crown Is a mass of black wheat
and big hop blossoms. Tho silky
flbera of tho bearded wheat appear
like tho airiest of aigrettes. Their
those gowns that aspire to originality
this season.
Tho sleeves are long, with flaring
cufTs extending over the hand. TUelr
decoration with small buttons and em
broidered arrowpolnts ' (somewhat
elaborated) could not bo improved up
on. A separate collar and guimpo of fine
batiste with narrow silk binding is in
line with tho season's vogue, but de
signed especially for tho chic gown
with which it appears.
The laced boots, with light cloth
tops, and thd smart millinery, pro
claim a costume selected by an ex
pert whose taste was reliable. All aro
the last words in matters of fashion,
but tho finished toilette is, neverthe
less, quiet and refined.
Varied Waist Lines.
There Is a waist line to suit every
type tho empire for tho slight youth
ful figure, tho natural waist lino for
the conservatives and straight ones
for the stout figure.
arrangement is unusual and the effect
beautiful.
Streamers of wide black velvet rib
bon add a final touch of richness to n
superb conception.
In the shadow of this splendor the
small brilliant turban loses nothing of
Its charm. To tho littlo hat belongs
all sorts of eccentric curves and turns
and poises, and its business Is not to
be dignified.
The model shown 1b of silk straw in
putty color. At tho front, pieces of
tho straw braid aro edged with nn em
broidered band and draped on tho
frame. Grapes and leaves, simulated
In silk In brilliant colors, aro posed
flat against tho hat, and an occasional
tendril reaches out from the coronet.
This very clover littlo modol is fin
ished with a long slender feather
which soars from the left Bide with
great singleness of purpose to add
height, apparently. But it changes Its
mind and curls downward again, tak
ing advantage of tho privilege of tho
little hat to bo eccentrlo.
