This artistic truth and the economy of 1t is getting - ting home to the hearth of many women this summer , if you arc onjy permitted two hats per season , nlwnys let one of those ho black , nod If one chapeau Is nil your circtimslnnccs nllow , every three or six ( nonthn , thoui be wise and choose it black. A black hat Is ilko charity-it covers such n multitude of little sins of omission and commission In dress and it Is always dis- tiigulshe + t looking and becoming. The long headed woman , who shops with diplomacy , orders her hat all black nod dashes in whatever color she prefers in the comb at flowers underneath the rear brim. Now , if you drop in at any progressive millinery Studio Just now you will find for sale many of these combs of roses , violets , eke. , all prepared , to either pin on your hair before your hat goes on , or lack to the back of the hat with a few stitches. Moro we hnvo a great convenience , for It Is not every amateur milliner who knows how to work up n floral comb or cache pieguo with line proper neatness and skill , 011(1 It Is on the little finishing touches that a hat (1ClCrlda ) for its chic expression and air of tidy completeness. Ilew Hehhal ; 'L'ens. Let a word be said here with regard to vefihtgs. Tim counters this summer offer minty temptations to a woman , to buy at haste and repent at leisure , over the ring streaked and striped tissues that flutter before her eyes. There Is a really pretty whim in thu way of a shot veiling , that goes right to the fetnininu heart , also a wlilto tissue , showing dots in groups , and a smart twine brown gauze , that has a wlilto waving cord rum through its width from selvage to selvage. All these , however - over , should be admired from a respectful distance. Only the very young girls with strong eyes can wear them with impunity. After her tvs entyfltth birthday n woman should buy her veils thoughtfully and matrons - trons can scarcely be too painstaking in this respect. Nothing so contributes to the weaving of little vvrhtkles about the eyes as a veil with many and small spots. A constant though unconscious. effort is be- hug rondo by the human lenses to get a proper focus through such a speckled mist , and by reason of steady contraction of muscles provoked about the lids the cobwebby - webby tracings are penciled in , I'ut a pair of the most lustrous eyes constantly - stantly behiind a veil of chiffon thickness anti the result will be a slow but none the less sure extinction of that liquid bright quality a healthy pair of orbs should possess even to old ago. A woman who persists In wearing a dotted net veld uudnr one of chiffon , as co many do , is simply ruining the quality of her eyes for t e sake of her complexion , anti she who continues long In tills pernicious habit may ward off a few freckles while she is simply courting pink ruins on her lids and a dull glaze on both pupil and iris. Too many women buy the first good and Inexpensive veil that is offered , with a reckless - less difference as to whether color , spot or mesh is becoming. A face that smiles de- llgltfully from behind a delicate black gauze bearing a dot here and there , wlll look old and haggard under n Russian nqt ; heavily treated with chenille bnlls. The ) phase of the veil situation aught to be by every wise soul studied out before a mirror and moreover few women are aware that certain hats go with certain veils and vice versa. Rc vuro of using your cycling hat veil with your best bonnet , for by such nna ouvers Is beauty judged. As to the adjustment of the little face masque , let it be known that a how at the back must b0 avoided. Draw the tissue terminals - minals into the smnllest possible knot and tuck that neatly out of sight. Never let fluffy ends of net bang out behind 111ce signals - nals of distress , and as you value your reputation - tation for youthful beauty , don't roll your veil up in an unlovely band across your brow. Rather remove It entirely If you wish to rend or eat anything , for that band across the brow , or worse still , athwart the nose , adds an Instant weight of ten moons to any ago. liuderarenr Ilnra'nlns. Thus 1s the time when the wily shopkeep- era advertise bargains In underwear and coax the w enmen into one-day expeditions to town , The expeditions are proflable from every polut of view , anti there Is a deal of very well digniled fashion displayed at these exhibits of fine underwear. White lawn , linen and cambric underskirts era ; many of them , made with quite respectable lltllo trains , for wear tinder the long-tailed dresses miow in the style , It Is noticeable that a quota of the skirts are trimmed with Spanish Ilounces or cut on the Louts XV mode and fairly crimped with tiny rubles , Some of the petticoats bavo casings set in about the region of the pochot hole , anti through these long whale bones are run. Thin mission of thus appll- nnce is obviously that of distendhng slightly the rear of thin dress skirt , bustle wise. Skirts set on to very deep yokes are every- w hero ht evidence , 'm'ho yekes rum down far over the hip and are often made of solid embroidery. The unusual length of the night dresses are Impressive. They are au long as the old style riding skirts for WOoem used to be , but in this case the superllnity of material ' odds greatly to the wearer's comfort , for in u short ulght dress a woman is as graceless anti uncomfortable n creature as can be found , Occasionally the foot of these lour gowns are prettily embroidered in scallops mid contrary w iso the sleeves of these lengthy robes arc rarely cut below the elbow , It is only by grace of the slender and conservative - servative woman that that commendable garment , the chemise , is anything more thin a tradition In lingerie. A deadly blow w'as dealt at its existence by the introduction of the lawn combination , low-necked loose body nut full drawers , There are commendable points al'out this bit of rninient and it can ho lnadu pretty to the lust degree , One of the most attractive fancies is that of joining druvvers and waist together by means of a wide beading , through rrhtch a broad ribbon rune ; or yoking the upper and lowtr parts together with a deep embroidery girdle shaped to the figure , Color Illse'reeliy l'sed , No one seems prepared to say why , but certain it Is that the major portion of fine underwear 1s made up of Palo yellow silk anti of cambric in the tint known as rattan yellow. Dceply tinged lace and gray golden ribbons deck these expensive trifles , and lime mode now is to wear white embroidered stays. A complete bridal set for exanlpi ample Ineludes pale yellow stay's , of a thin , strong linen , that is powdered over with daisies , or whatever flower adorns the other . garmeats , An elaborrlte stock of boned en- 14r derwaists are on the market at this nio. kI taunt. They are nothing more nor less than corset covers with casings so arranged that four whale bones can be slipped in , when the waist comes from lima laundry , It is seedless to say that slender women find peso a cool boon in summer woalher , All drawers are made with flounces that for fulness and depth very nearly resemble lambrequins , As a matter of fact , the leg of these lawn knickers scarcely 00(110 ludf way to the knee , 111 the remainder is an elaborate flounce , finished with lace frills , puckered In puffs , fretted with Insertion ant shaped up o n lien outside. The wearer is supposed to fasten n full ribbon favor at the point where the rune elopes and the ails of the ribbon often fall ns far as the calf of the leg , Many are the night dresses soltl without any buttons and holes down the front. At the Jeu'eiry shops and counters the most charming small safety pins are displayed , In sets of three and five , for gatchldg together the fronts of the night robe , The pins bear one Ilttlo jewel set on their gold bars , else a tiny initial , h1 fretted grid , ! s fastened on the upper thread. Among the novelties sold at the lingerie counters are caps , made for the woman who is obliged to do up her hair on pins or In papers , and is desirous of concealing the ugly curling instruments , They are rather natty mob slapped affairs that frame the face prettily. Another trifle ! s the night retlcule. It is made of embroidered vvhtto silk and lace and 15 meant to hang from a hook al the head of the bed , just vvheo , by vary slight reaching , the sleeper Sean get at its contents. The contents are usually a fresh handkerchief , smelihng salts and perhaps cough drops or a menthol pencil - cil , as the needs of the night might demand. I U ilst 1.110nIIN of Xeelrvrur.
