The prevalence of tender blues in summer dresses is very welcome, and in the soft crepons, linons, mousselines and fine cloth which arb being used so generously nothing could look better. The coat with a loose back, partly bolero, partly jacket, is one to have, and the skirt, with side plaits is in great favor with good makers. The question of the high neckband is still burning.

No woman who understands dress at its best will consent to being uncomfortable again' about the throat, yet many realise that , a high-necked blouse is more becoming to them.
