All trains are worn on the front of gowns. ‘The effect of this dernier cri is too wonderful to describe, particularly when combined with the ultra abbreviated models. The simple street suit is ornate and economical. Hats are still worn on some favorite part of the head. Styles from Spain, Russia, and y Fur and chiffon are the sole materials for lingeric. Ne show no desire to be covered, though the whole fur pelt is promised for hot-weather garniture. Some costumes are all coat; others all straw hat; still others all that is possible. Flowers are no longer worn on headgear, it being somewhat far- fetched. They are properly relegated to the decoration of boot tops. This fills in a suitable space. Stockings no longer come solid, but are tastefully buttoned the entire length.
