This Is called a white summer be
cause thin white gowns are In so much
greater demand than they have been
in seasons past. White, In whatever
material you may choose, Is without
question the smartest thing for morn
ing, afternoon and evening wear.
Of the thin, white materials, Paris
muslin, Persian lawn, French nain
sook, organdy, batiste and dimity are
all popular, and they lend themselves
with charming adaptability to dainty
elaboration with tucklngs, ruffles,
laces or embroideries and ribbon
sashes. The dotted and figured Swisses
have been simply irresistible this sum
mer. The patterns are surprisingly
varied, ranging from the dot in differ
ent sizes to Swisses figured, striped
and embroidered all over. Lovely
gowns are seen of Swisses with In
sertions of Valenciennes lace.
Woolen fabrics and the sllk-and-woolen
combinations are having an un
predecented vogue this summer. Eta
mines in sheer, beautiful open mesh
lead; then there are the voiles and
grenadines, plain and fancy eolienne,
and crepes of diversified beauty, vary
ing all the way from a wide open mesh
to the weave which makes the sheer
ness only faintly suggestive. Alba
tross and nun's veiling make pretty,
simple frocks, and have been used es
pecially for children.
The silks, softly-falling and clinging
in nature, have the preference this
summer, Louisine, satin liberty and
pongee being especial favorites.
Of the morning frocks seen, the
summer gown which Is most popular
with women Is the linen one, and white
heads the list. These linen frocks are
very smart, made absolutely plain
with only strappings, stitching and
buttons for ornamentation, or trimmed
with heavy linen laces or antique lace.
Then there are applique designs of
colored linen on the white dresses. The
white linen which has a tinge of ecrue
in it is considered very stylish,
trimmed with narrow bands of the
new colored embroidery done in mer
cerized floss. Some of the more pre
tentious linen gowns are made over
taffeta silk linings, and these trimmed
with hand-embroidery cost as much as
silk gowns.
Pongees vie with the linens In popu
larity. Very smart frocks are those of
white pongee trimmed with ecru lace
in the darkest shades. The filet laces
are much used with this material.
White mohairs are to be reckoned
with In a summary of the fashionable
white materials of the season. The
newest fancy Is to trim these gowns
with stitched cloth bands.
The smartest summer dancing .and
dinner toilets are of white. Here, as
in the day dresses, a distinct character
is given many of the frocks by the use
of laces in ecru tints, and these range
in the quality of their coloring from the
palest lemon to coffee color. Every
species of white goods, from the finest
etamine to point d'esprlt, forms the
fabric of these festive compositions.
Youthful dance frocks are made of
mull, Swiss, silk batiste, net and other
of the pretty, light, dainty materials.
A display of summer evening gowns
runs the entire gamut of cost from the
simple muslin to the lace robe. An
evening gown made wholly of white
lace still remains the standard of su
preme elegance.
Sometimes a touch of color Is given
the white evening gown. A new fancy
in the way of white evening frocks of
transparent fabric is a lining of color to
give the opalescent effect. The silk
foundation may be of one color with
chiffon of another color over this, both
in delicate tints, pink and green, or
pink und yellow, in combination.
Sashes are conspicuously In evidence
on the thin gowns. They at once sug
gest themselves as the appropriate ac
companiment of the summer frocks
with Huffy flounces, fichus and elbow
sleeves, and of the broad-brimmed,
llower-trimmed hats.
All the taffeta ribbons are popular
for sashes, and the satin taffetas are
the most used of all. The Loulsines
are In vogue and aristocratic sashes are
of the exquisitely flowered taffetas and
moire ribbons. The newest of the lat
ter have a large polka dot in self-color
woven here and there along their lovely
length.
The sashes are made up In various
ways, with a soft, crush girdle and ends
at the back varying in length from
those quite short to streamers which
float to the hem of the gown. The ends
are knotted or trimmed with rosette?.
The rosettes are sometimes made in the
form of huge rosebuds, and these are
lovely on a pale pink satin taffeta sash.
Chiffon roses are also cunningly strewn
along some ribbons to give the effect of
sure-enough posies.
A fashionable sash Is of seven-inch-wide
pink satin taffeta ribbon the col
or that tints the petals of a wild rose.
The ribbon is softly and loosely crushed
around the waist; a huge, puffy rosette
covers the closing at the back. From
this two streamers of the ribbon flutter
to the hem of the gown. About one
third down a rosette the twin of the
one at the top Is fastened to the right
streamer. The left streamer Is grace
fully knotted a little distance below the
rosette on the other sash end.
The colors of the rainbow seem vov
en Into the lovely shimmering lengths
of sash ribbons. White, pink nnd pa'e
blue are much worn and the green sash
is very modish. Sashes of pompadour
ribbons are especially chic for the plain
muslins.
Sashes made of two kinds of ribbon
knotted a little below the waist nt the
back are seen on some of the thin sum
mer gowns, with a corsage bow to
match. Two shades of one color or two
different colors are sometimes used In
the sash. In white two kinds of rib
bon, for example, white moire nnd
Louisine, are used.
Sashes of tucked chiffon nre dainty
things to wear with the thin summery
gowns.
