' Slsrro aai Lace Collars. The shirt waiataait will be a feature o the summer resort wardrobe. Theae suits blouse aad akirt are frequently made of mercerised lawn, though aome timea finer fabrica are ueed. They look trim aad are comfortable for morn ing wear aad indiepeoeible for golfing or tennis. The drew shirt waists, or blouses aa the French call them, are more elab orate than any that have gone before, aad ia deeiga aad trimming call forth especial admiration. Soft silks, like Louisine and peau de aoie, are faTored, and light ahadea predominate and Tie with the partiality for black-and-white combiaatioBC. Theae bloueea are won derfully trimmed. Indeed, it aeema aa if the Modish world had gone mad over lace appliqaee, jabota, iaaertiona, hem atitching, tucking, eroding and box pleating, until an ordinary plain ailk bodice, which would have been consid ered draaay a year or two ago, looka as aatedelarian aa a hoop akirt Thia erase fcr abundant embeliahment ie nowhere more ia eTidesce than in the cellars, which are, if poaeible, more elaborate than during the winter aaeatha. The crash aeema to be largely farered oa account of .its beauty as well aa iafiaite comfort. Those of lace, made on Jaathachoae, aUk corered.with all manner of trimmings, will be particu larly .cool aad popular. Perpendicular strips of gold braid, wired to stand erect aad joiaed together by narrow rows of jewel or button studded velvet ribbons, are exceedingly pretty and effective. Gold ia still in fashion, but it ia used very carefully and sparingly, and must be of only the tzilmnd most expensive quality. It is, however, a heavy" sum mer trimming, and much leas attractive than lace and soft, narrow ribbons. It is a boon to be thin thia season, as so many of the models are becoming to alender figures only. Many of the fash ionables have attained or preserved, aa the case may be, this enviable condition, and several modish young matrons wear blouses flounced all over, even to the , sleeves. The effect is charming, but not to be thought of except by the sylph like, with a certain grace of carriage. An effective imported blouse is made of cream crepe de Chine, unlined, with fine wide insertion of black lace. The aleevea are short, to the elbow, and finished in a point of the lace. The col lar ia formed of lace stitched over invis ible wire,;and trimmed at intervals with two rows of tiny cream satin button. The popular white tulle goes around the tap of thia collar, finishing in the becoming and softening pompon in the back. Speaking of these bits of tulle, tbeysbeald be moat carefully made, Many an otherwise beautiful toilet is ruined by a careless buBching up, or, worse still, tying this dainty accessory. It should be well made by some one who knows how. It is a thing that looks easy, bat ia really difficile, and these little thiaga distinguish the Modish from her mere imitator. Elbow aleevea will be much in vogue this summer, aad it will do to look well to your arms and wrists. Un this point the plump woman has the advantage of the fragile one, but there are many pretty effects for thin arms, and if the f ore arm is not too long, any one can wear elbow sleeves to advantage. One especially well fitted to a thin arm ter minates in several accordeon pleated flounces. Another has wide chiffon niching next to the skin. Plump white arms are lovely in short sleeves, finished abruptly with a simple black velvet band. A blouse made of pure white lace, and unlined. was worn a few eveningB ago by a well known woman, and was rav ishing. The lace was a mere web, and the under waiet thus discernable was a work of art The sleeves ended midway between elbow and wrist a trying spot, but vastly Woming, if at all aad were finished by a finely tucked chiffon cuff turned away from the full whitearm. A bracelet of diamonds was worn just below, on the left arm. An elaborate lace bat utterly devoid of ornament, completed the picturesque bodies effect. There was no color save a large, loose knot of corn-colored tulle, which caught some drapery near one shoulder. The summer girl will have dozens of these perishable, unlined blouses in her wardrobe, and those who pay the bills will realize that they are by no means as simple as they appear. Tailor suits of heavy linen, made with a flare skirt and collarlees Eton coat, are to be much more favored thia season than last About the front and neck these coats show a ticy white detach able vest The entire suit ia man-tailored, and not too expensive. Those in pale blue are lovely. A delicate green linen suit is on exhibition at one of the leading shops, with a moderately plain skirt and a blouse jacket, laced togeth er in front through big, embroidered holes with a black Liberty satin scarf. This finishes in a sailor knot, the ends of which fall over the waist line. This same lacing appears in the back of the jacket, with scarf ends forming the mil itary tail affect at the waist. The sleeve ia also laced just above the full puff at the wrist Never have spring toilets .been more handsome and fetching than thia year. Some are costly, too eves the simplest ones at the best houses. Eighty-five dollars is the price asked for a auit consisting of a plain white pique skirt, with exquisite lines, and a tiny coat with pale blue pique edging and Russian lace appliqued in the cor ners of the wider saPor collar. Another, auit is a combinationof blue and white, with straps for skirt trimming, and belt The blouse coat is of one color, the skirt of the other. The effect is odd, but ex tremely stylish.
