ET us be gorgeously and gaily impractical for today, and consider

the summer costume in its most beguiling and seductive version.

To be sure, one must sometimes be serious and hard-working, even in those months when the weather is the least in harmony with such a program, and there must be practical clothes-but forget them for the

mement.

Let us consider a world of organdice and laces, or diaphanous chiffons and transparent velvets. Let us forget all staid and practical colors. Let us vision lovely yellows, thading deeply into warm orange, or Kiray- ing into the territory of the greens and coming out chartreuse and those delicate yellow-greens that suggest tropical birds.

Let us remember the delicate pink of the wild rose, and, the true blue of the forget-me-not. Think of the tender Blue-grays of twilight and the blush-int of the dawn.

Then combining our colors and our fabrics, let us proceed to think of the summer girl and her glorification. The successful summier frock of this tenton must seem to float and flow. It must have motion and a continuity of line. In its most popular version it is long at the sides and the back and short in front, und during dancing or walking, the longer portions float languorously in the breeze..

THIS year's skirt is never a straight line, except for sport or daytime wear. In the evening, it is irregular, scalloped, draped, and made interesting by many methods.

Gowns of lace and chiffon, both for afternoon and evening, usually have their own wraps, either a cape that fall negligently from the shoul- dess and is gathered into a close line at the hipe, or a coatee, or maybe it is just a circle or square of the material that takes form when it comes in contact with the frock for which it is intended,

Organdie, that perennially youthful fabric, is starter than ever this season,, and makes some of the most romantic of gowns. It may be self- tranted, embellished with lace or embroidery, or it may be garlanded with very natural-looking artificial flowers. It quite often has an old- fashamed looking sash, tied in a guileles bow, and naturally calls for the wide-brimmed picture hat.

I. THIS lovely organdie evening dress is blue-gray in color and is worn over a slip of silver cloth. A wide streamer is tied in a bow on the back of the bodice and falls almost to the Roor. The very full skirt is skilfully incrusted with insertions of silver lace and stitched with rows of silver thread on the scallops.

II. DELIGHTFUL fragility is suggested by this evening ensemble

of black chiffon and white face. The gown is cut low both back. and front, has the narrowest of shoulder straps and is molded smoothly about the waistline. The skil, full and scalloped, is edged with white lace, and the cape which completes the ensemble charmingly repeats the wide walks of lace found in the gown's hemline.

III. THIS ultra-smart interpretation of the modish beach pajamas has

a ceal al very full trousers figured in green, yellow and black with just a dash of red in it. The little accompanying coat is of ynfig- ured green material that exactly matches the green in the print. IV, MORE striking in its way is this suit of beach pajamas in Chinese Jed with a complementary blouse in a bright orange hue. There

is something contradictorially feminine in the bows at the waist and neck- Bae, but they are chasing touches to this comfortable outfit. The trou sers are regular Boston bags and can be quickly removed when the wearer gets bored with lolling on the beach and wants to cool off in the rollers. The brack pajama suit is becoming almost a national costume at Amer- ican waleting places, and the most popular version seems to be the en- semble that has the trousers and blouse in one piece and the coat, either long or shot. a separate feature,

V. A SUMMER ensemble entirely of lace comtrines a frock and a cape of flesh pink thread lace. The gown is cut law both hack and from and has a eliuitly raised waistline. The skirt has deep points at the sides and back. The cape may be worn open or held tightly about the figure below the hips to give the new outline known as the mermaid Filhouette,

VI. EQUALLY suitable for either afternoon or evening is this de

lightful summery frock of white organdie. It is bound in blue organdic and its surface it delicately decorated with hand-painted flowers. About the waist is a sash of folded blue and chartreuse ribbon. At the neckline revers fold back to farm a V. The hat is of white straw and has blue ribbon eireamers.
