or figured silk, or linen or satin.
A very pretty model is with a tucked collar and full sleeves with frills falling over the hands; it is buttoned down the front with large buttons and ties with a band
the natural walat line. A model which gives charming slim- ming effect is known as the aur- plice blouse fitting tight to the figure and crossing over just above the natural waist line.
For evening a bright contrast can be made by wearing a short jacket which barely passes the walet. These gay jackets can be fashioned in any material suitable to evening wear, and if of a bright shade are particularly chic over a black evening gown. For Summer or out in the tropics this short jacket is far more desirable than the long or three-quarter evening cloak.
SPOTTED MATERIALS.
Of all the materials that have been offered to us this season, the one patterned with very large spots is the most popular. The material may be crepe-de-Chinc, marocain, chiffon, voile, or fine cloth; each ie good in the spotted design.
Pure white with black spots is the smartest; then comes. white with blue, green or deep rose-pink spots. Light frocks worn beneath coats of plain black material, aro very new and charming. If the white ground does not appeal, there are many other colour combinations, There is black with spots of any desired tone, and dull rose-pink with black spots is a version of the idea which is shown a good deal just now.
Ensembles have plain coats lined with silk to match the dresses, and plain frocks have short coats of spotted material, either mode being favoured by those who consider a complete epotted suit "too much of
36."
BECOMING SCARVES...
NOVEL NOTIONS.
Very course net, dyed pale butter- cup-yellow, makes lovely curtains, which may be trimmed with futur ist applique bordering in jude green silk or organdie.
The pelmet might be made entire ly of the green material, backed with buckram to give strength. The main part is a band ten inches deep, but the pelmet dips each side into an irregular shape to match that on the lower hem of each curtain. sewn over the jains Silver braid between silk and net adds extra daintinesu.
Another effective notion je to make the curtains of thin artificial silk, and add deep hems of string- coloured net. The joins can be eon. cealed under little wool-ebroidered blossoms in gay mixed colourings. In this case, instead of a pelmet, make a gathered heading of the net.
Yet another way to decorate not hangings is to give them twelve- inch bordera of gay silk patchwork.

CHURCH DRESS.
A sensational scene occurred at the Church of the Capucines in the town of Olmutz in the Crecho- Slovak province of Moravia recently. The church was crowd- ed for Sunday service but many girls and married women had ap peared in dresses leaving their necks and arms bare, and in short stockings.
University Professor Hejel, who Was to deliver the sermon, took offence at their dreas and appear- ed in the pulpit merely to inform the congregation that he was un- able to preach in consequence of He the women's improper garb. then stepped from the pulpit, leav ing the congregation to them- selves.
