Has some delightfully cool look- ing frocks the wearing of which makes social functions even bear- able in this muggy weather, A swagger coat of palest blue net quite the smartest thing I've seen for a long time, quite as " cool as a sleevless affair, yet re- taining the chic that winter clo- thea seem to have a monopoly of.

Eye veils come into the fore- ground more than ever, and, odd-" ly enough, hald brims seem re- sponsible for pitching them for- ward visor-wise, ·

Sometimes, however, they posed on the extreme edze, to
drop at a narrow depth all the way round short sailor brims.
Like most of the medium-brim- med shapes this type of hat is worn straight on the brow, with side tites merely suggesting in- "dividual taste. Nevertheless, a Jaunty side perch is also becom- ing and adds allure to the jabots ruffles and taffeta bow-ties that ornament niany of the new spring clothes...
Veils are an obvious reduction for the new wide-brimmed pic- ture hat movement, but this will hardly be followed for day wear until later in the season..
Some of these hats have large, square. mortal-board brims al- most as sensational in circumfer ence--if it can be called circum- ference as cartwheel ones. They" are similar in form to the small square-brim sallor type,' but, of course, much larger and more frequently tailored in fabric than blocked in straws. White pique
is one very good example.

RIVELLE
Is selling all her summer bats from $10.50 she supervises per- sonally all the details of the dress- making herself which of course shows excellent resulta.
She is expecting in a few days a con- signment of new summer dresses. As no doubt there will be a' run on these we would strongly advise customers to pay an early visit.
In all probability they will survive Ascot and garden party days with the right sort of dress to accom- pany them. Other shady hats have lesser brims that are not, so exaggerated
The Kick In The Skirt Line
#1
Streamline folds that have no pretention to volume appear in the skirts which have a "kick" given to them at back, front or sides for case in attitudes,
An almost trousered straight- ness is a conspicuous feature for some tailored skirts which are plain with ease of movement aid- ed by side spilts. In these in- stances skirts are comparatively long-that is to say below mid calf level, and side, pockets set on the diagonal are usual. Beltered corselet depths help this trouser- od slenderness.
Another plain line shows the centre front button fastening for skiria of cotton weed and linen crash summer quita.-

Then there is the back wrap- over fold to frocka with three, or four buttons. well spaced in a short length to fasten" near the side. Blas cuts give a new tone, to this enveloping line with the fold streaming open gracefully from the hip,
Wrapover folds and centre back button fastenings, give impetus to some pinafore styles worn with coloured guimpes that might merely be suggested at the neck- Une show up in short or long sleeves and right through the cut-away back. When the latter occurs criss-cross bracer straps. extending from shoulders and buttoning at opposite sides on to a corselet back look effective, as they keep the front bodice "Tries"

ments are followed. A centre front seam, however, is competing with flat gored movements, From time to time these spray in a series of five or six down the back to give emphasis to flat fronts. Fine plisse of the accordion var-- iety is another medium in creat- ing these skirt lines, but it must look perfectly flat. This plisse skirt note spells comfört in width, for summer wear, but it is check- ed below the waist by machine stitched lines when used in back or front sections to prevent a blousey effect.
