Fortunately this em- hroldery, since it can b worked so much more rapidly than the fllled-ln patterns, la not ao expensive as the latter. English embroidery can also be learned quickly by the amatenr, and with comparatively little expenditure of time and labor It Is possible to make for oneself a most satis factorily effective bodice. Blue worked upon a background of white Is exceedingly smart, and mauve Is an- other color much In vogue this season. An attractive gown la fashioned by embroidery of white batiste embroidered In mauve, the gown bordered with a deep band ot mauve colored lawn. Mauve belt, hat and parasol complete this charming costume. Occasionally the gown Is ot white worn over a slip ot pink or blue that, against ths color, th beauty of th work may show up with the best effect Linen gowns also this summer show a wealth of English embrrry.

' Striped and plain colored voile is to be ' as' faahlonable for midsummer frock as for the gowns for city wear during the last days of spring. Stripes grow wider as the season advances, but the color and the white line remains ot equal width. Black and white la still a popular combination, and for town, durk bluca and greens with relief in the broad white stripe are ex ceedingly (mart. For mourning, black voile Is an exoellont material, dull In finish, de llcloualy light and cool in weight For hot weather voile should be made on a foundation ot lawn or China silk, rather than taffeta. It necessary, this lining can be boned and .fitted as well as ' ' satin or heavy silk. At thi time ot year mohair . coat and klrt costume commence to make their 1 appearance, and excellent suits they are for warm days. Lxep purpl with collar and cuff of white mohair 1 smart, but for pure ervlce there 1 nothing to corn par to navy blue or black, preferably of a trlped or check pattern. - For th wool suit of light color- which must b provided in every summer- out fit there is nothing more satisfactory In the long run than a good quality of home spun of not too heavy weight. White or a deep cream is perhaps most popular for this style of dress, but the pale soft tones of pink, blue, green and lavender shades quite different from any made up for city wear are unquestionably smartest. Hats are undergoing aa interesting trans formation, which, although slow. Is sure. Crowns are not so large, brims are de cidedly smaller, and the hat which nearly covers the entue head Is not likely to last throughout the summfr. There la a tend ency among the newest French hats to be placed much higher on the head, and it id even rumored that bandeaux, lifting th hat up from the hair, are to return to ugue. ii win De noticed that while a number of last season's bonnets are possi ble again this year, they appear much ' Uiger than they did w in a packed away in the autumn, which goes to prove th undeniable return of 'smaller shape. Nor is it necenaary - for th hat to match ex actly the gown with which It 1 ' worn, although It mubt, of course, bear reference to th costume which It complement. Green hats of all tones, from pal bluish matrix to most ivid grass color, ar popu lar for both spring and summer headgear. Sailor shapue, smalt In diameter, are seen again with th brim slightly wider at the back than In front. One quill placed flat against th right side of the crown and extending out soma inches beyond ths hat Itself Is a smart model for a traveling or shlrt-walHt hat A facing of black vel vet will make almost any hat becoming If the color la too vivid against the face. For dresa hats, uncurled ostrich feathers ar much in evidence. Th figure shows a charming little frock with on ot th new gathered hip yokes. Th bodice Is quite plain, In peasant style, with a collar and revere of lace. Buttons and braid finish th closing outline. A Very Partlresiar Aetor. "I can't get a leading lady for Tories; ' Hamm."
