Striped Dimity and Silk tcith Embroidery 
tif striped blue and white dimity. It is 
cut kimono shape, merely gathered in at 
the round neek. The trimming is four 
hands of white organdie, graduated in 
width, stitched on at the lower -edge, but 
left loose at the top. These bands were 
finished with a pieot edge. Similar bands 
finished the short slqeves. Down the front 
and on each sleeve was a little silk {lower 
and leaves, applied on. The little mush¬ 
room hot was of the striped dimity, 
trimmed with white organdie. This was a 
very plain little dress, but especially 
protty in these fine materials. The same 
idea could be carried out in any striped 
cotton material with white or contrasting 
hands, embroidery taking the place of the 
applied (lowers, or this decoration could 
be omitted. It will he found that when 
these hands are stitched at the one edge 
only it is easier to iron them, as the iron 
can be run under them, and they do not 
draw. They stand out. a little at the top. 
Peasant Embroidery. —The model at 
the right was pebble weave sports silk, 
hut we see dresses of the same style in 
French voile, and the effect is very pretty. 
The trimming is peasant embroidery in 
dark rerl and dark blue, with a touch of 
Mack. It will be seen that the blouse is 
a plain kimono shape, with a full peas¬ 
ant sleeve gathered into the upper part, 
and gathered into a band at the wrist. 
Bands of the embroidery pass down the 
shoulder, and finish the seam where the 
sleeve is gathered in. A panel of the 
embroidery finishes the front of the waist, 
and there are embroidered pockets on the 
skirt. The dress is very simple, but the 
embroidery gives it a very smart look. 
We see dresses of this style in dark blue 
crepe de chine, embroidered in black and 
red. and they are very serviceable. The 
small mushroom hat is of white erin and 
silk, with a twisted silk rosette. 
Little Hire's Styles.—I n the second 
picture the figure at the left shows how 
two materials may he combined. The 
original was of crepe de ehiiie. the skirt 
henna, the long-waisted blouse white. 
The blouse closed down the side, and this 
dosing was finished with a band of henna 
and white ribbon. The short sleeves had 
a band of the ribbon, tied in a flat bow. 
This idea of contrasting waist and skirt 
can he carried out in a variety of ma¬ 
terials, and is very useful, for the blouse 
may he separate, buttoned to the skirt, 
to he changed when desired. We saw 
civ* of these dresses with a skirt of dark 
blue voile and whita voile blouse trimmed 
with blue and red peasant embroidery, 
and it wms very attractive. Tile hat fig¬ 
ured was Henna crepe de chine, with a 
tucked crown. 
White Batiste. —The very plain white 
dress in the center was white batiste, 
.le.ustitched. In tie front were blocks 
of pale blue, 'hemstitched on. This trim¬ 
ming is often used on blouses and dresses, 
and it is very effective. Such trimming 
is easy to launder. The hat shown has 
a Russian pleating of blue silk with a 
cluster of rose fruit in front.

a showy girdle of contrasting color is the

Light-colored stockings are much worn

as well as fashionable. Some pretty 
stockings in black and colors are very 
sheer lisle with openwork clock. 
Pumps with a strap, strap slippers

shoes. There is a tendency to more con¬ 
servative styles, though we still see the 
white shoes with colored saddle and tip 
for sports wear. Flat-heeled one-strap 
pumps of patent leather are among the 
sensible dress shoes.
