HANDSOME FROCK OF LINEN

With Accessories It Makes Most Attractive Costume for Out-of-Door Entertainments.' There is a kind of linen which Is al-most as thin as muslin, having a loosely woven mesh which makes It nearly transparent. This is trimmed lavishly with drawn-thread work, through %e large open squares of which Is visible the foundation of white sponge cotton. This dress In saxe blue or cherry color Is equally handsome, and is smart enough for dress occasions, for race meetings, garden parties, and so on. To wear with the frock there is a quaint and pretty hat of Leghorn straw, curved and bent after the manner of a shepherdess hat, with a low dome crown entirely veiled In very fine black tulle illusion. The tulle is raised rather high above the crown, and rising In billows toward the back, while the hat Is apparently held in place with a long tulle scarf carried round the throat In front, pinned on the left shoulder and left to float' in a streamer from thence.
