IN WHITE MARQUISETTE

DRAPED PANNIER BKIRT ALONG THE LATEST DESIGNS. Many Materials Will Be Used the Coming Summer for Drapery of v This Style—Some New Features Shown. Draped and pannier skirted gowns are being made in voiles, mahquisettes and mull for the coming summer, and are every bit as alluring in these fine soft goods as were the velvets and satins of winter. In the accompanying sketch is shown a white marquisette afternoon frock with quite a novel draped pannier skirt. The blouse is very simply made and has long sleeves cut in one with the waist. They are finished at the cuffs and up the opening with white net plaiting. The same

plaiting is used to trim the round neck, ending a small jabot in front. The blouse fronts surplice over each other below the bust line, and have the lower halves hand embroidered in English eyelet work. More embroidery appears on the upper part of the sleeves and around the foundation skirt. The tunic skirt is cut in two parts; the short straight one, which pouches a little above the knees in front and the longer cruved one in back extending from hip to hip. They are mounted at the waist line in even little plaits instead of gatherings, and are cut from straight lengths of the material. The novel feature of the costume is the rather odd arrangement of ttie pompadour flowered girdle of taffeta. Besides the length, which encircles the waist and ties in a flat bow in front, there are two ends, one on either side, which tuck in over the belt and form a border to the edge of the longer half of the skirt.
