Fashions are chancing with euch sublet thata dajii It is Indeed a problem for us to come forth In a frock which proclaims a radically new style. A nlpped-in hem. a different collar, variations of the waistline tune, appear over . night, like mushrooms. To one constancy may we cling the slim silhoutte. This, and the absolute simplicity that stamps the well dressed woman of this year, are the two most 'striking notes of Summer tyles. To meet the shortage in wool, and linen; the designers have contrived to assemble a vast assortment of combinations and compromises; and the result Is a splendid array or the shoppers' selection. Fabrics have undergone a great change in name if not in actual weave. But where is the woman who will not travel a mile to purchase doeskin cloth, when she might have the same material, usually known as galatea, at the general store? The more novel the name, the more alluring the material. 'Twas ever thus. Wool Jersey, is the party of the first part in most of the frocks for informal year. Indeed it is more often the better half, being : amenable to other fabrics and thoroughly practical. Tricotines, in silk or wool, twills, covert cloth and 6erge are with us in popular colors such as beige, blue, black and green. Real, honest-to-goodness English tweed is fashioning many of our service suits. It ba9 no equal for durability and keeping its shape. The cotton cloths are lovlier than ever in color and design. Gingham established itself so Securely last Summer that It is still in the lead, with many new patterns, and many pretenders which it takes the accustomed buyer to distinguish from the real thing. Georgette, net, organdie, and handkerchief linen are most popu

lar for afternoon wear, along with the very popular separate skirt of flannel,

satin or crepe de chine.

Ladies, we have with us this sea

son the satin coat, in all its glorious

forms. Black is the first choice,

closely followed by browns of various

.hues. Quilting is the newest treat

ment accorded top coats. Sometimes Just a deep hem is quilted,' again the whole garment reminds one of father's smoking Jacket. Collars, cuffs and hem of knitted gray wool trim a black satin coat A model of black taffeta has a knee high hem of black moire, collars and cuffs of the same, and a wide, wide, belt of taffet A stunning coat of tan Jersy baa a panel back, starting at the neck and falling over , the narrow sash belt to the bottom of the skirt, where it is finished by a black taffeta band embroidered in

wool flowers. The same color motif

Is repeated on the sleeve edges and the pockets. The loose panel Is self lined, and makes for warmth in ad. ditlon to style. Following the edict of fashion dictators in Paris, American women are making the top coat or cloak the smartest, although tailormade suits are still worn quite a bit. Seconding satin are wool Jersey, soft taffeta and silk velvet. This latter . material, made up In Pekln blue, rose, amethyst, or sea green, makes a wonderful summer wrap, to wear over the lingerie froek, And it is well to remember that it will also serve as an evening wrap for next winter, provided It is Interlined, - Silks predominate in suits,' Rough allka, taffeta and newly named satins are the materials mostly seen, The

coats are nearly all In the new hiplength, loosely fitted effects; some with plai tings on the sides, others Just straight Jackets. . Earner In the Spring there was a strong tendency on the part of the Eastern designers to inflict the Bolero or Eton Jacket upon us. - One figure only can wear . the Bolero style and really get away with it the slim, not-too-tall girl. It Is dangerous for the figure built on more generous lines, and a tragedy to her of lengthy proportions and very little breadth If at all! Happily, however, we would not heed the designers' ultimatum, so we have a compromise in the straight, hip length coat. Some suits do . show a snugly fitted waist with the' coat skirt flaring in the back. In satin these are very graceful. A suit easy to duplicate at home consists of a white serge skirt with apron front and deep pockets, and a coat of black serge, falling straight from the shoulders, flaring slightly as to hem and sleeves. . The collar and cuffs are triple ones of white organdie, and on the pockets of the skirt are several rows of full jet beads. Skirts for sports wear are of flannel, plain and embroidered, flowered satin, jersey and crepe de chine. A white flannel one I have in mind has an embroidered border and pockets, done in conventional flowers. " An ivory satin skirt has mauve roses with leaves and stems of leaf green scattered round about. Polka dotted skirts, striped skirts, skirts with tucks, running around from hem to girdle, skirts with tunics slashed and turned up to form large generous pockets. Wide girdles and huge buttons trim them, all, and economy is the word In the amount of material used. With these gay garments are worn sweaters of equally gay hues, matching the stripe or the flower in the skirt. By the way, if one is conscience stricken when it comes to wearing woolen sweaters, there are lovely substitutesin sleeveless ones of jersey, lined and piped with a contrasting color. Taffeta sport coats are still good. also. For the week-end traveler there are some very attractive blouses In tub!

silk. Raised from their old unbecom

lngness of convertible collar and no:v

fitting cuffs, they are quite aristocratic In cut and in price, being entirely

hand made.

One very pretty shirtwaist of blue

checked silk has a double breasted

fastening eight pearl buttons and

eight button holes worked In blue floss. Collars and cuffs of men's handkerchief linen with rolled and whipped ruffles on the edge, and

there you are. Why not make one at

home, at one-fourth the cost? Another shirt of lavendar striped silk had ' hemstitched cuffs of white

linen, and a high collar and jabot of

the same. Unusual and quite tailored looking. For wear with a dark brown taffeta suit there was a blouse . of yellow checkered handkerchief linen with solid yellow collar and cuffs. Afternoon frocks . are perhaps the heart of the summer wardrobe, and are the most difficult of execution. A few descriptions of representative models are given, to aid those who would conserve by sewing at home,' A frock of old blue georgette whieh hangs rather full from a shoulder yoke, has a petticoat of the same, about one and three quarters yards around, A narrow sash of doublS faced satin, in a brilliant flame shade, is tied about the waist; (Sashes by the bye are very persistent, and one cannot go far wrong in thus conforming to the new slender waist line.) A collar of Irish lace finishes the neck, and the sleeves flare slightly and are finished with milliner's fold of the crepe, ' ; , ... v A smart shopping costume has for the waist blue checked taffeta, which extends yoke depth, there to be attached by a narrow cording to a solid blue taffeta skirt Red bone buttons trl mthe front of the waist, and wash

able cuffs and collar lend freshening touch. A delightful and easily made dress of navy blue satin has snugly fitting bodice and sleeves, a pointed tunic.

and Eelf-covered .buttons. The unexpected air Is lent by a high collar with overturning frill of pink organdie,

and frilled cuffs to match. For the summer resorter who would defy the thermometer, there is a princess frock, rather trying ; but quite stylishly correct of rose tricotine.

Intricate braidings of rose soutache?,

trim the whole from neck to hem, pooh-poohing a waistline, nor stopping

for pockets.

Another model in wool is of white

serge with a white cord for a sash and many slot seams confining the

fullness at the waist line. Designs

in . white beads and braid ornament

the bodice. - i An imported robe of net and em

broldered batiste . needs but a good pattern to fashion it into a delightful tea frock. A girdle of rainbow ribbons and a corsage of crocheted wool

flowers make that little difference

which means so much to a costume.

For the fortunate, youthful white

haired matron, Spanish ecru lace combined with bands of black satin radiant makes a pleasing afternoon dress. The wide sloping girdle of satin has a motif of blue wool and silver threads cleverly worked. A peplum blouse of canary colored georgette crepe tops a skirt of white. Both skirt and blouse hem are finished in a simply braided design, and a novel touch is given collar and deep cuffs, by outlining them with a row of closely placed pearl buttons, infinitesimal in size. Following the trend of the times, evening gowns are taking on a more sober tone. Incidentally they are far more becoming than in . the old days when one's neighbor grew nervouti if

one sneezed, and in infinitely bitter I

ittsuf. vvuai useu u u a busy ui rhinestones or a fragment of tulle have grown into sleeves," flowing and otherwise. And the evening gown of the winter, with the waist high in the back, no matter how low in the front, is with us still, and is quite popular. A dinner gown of filmy chiffon has for a bodice a band of brilliantly colored satin, overlaid with a highbacked. long-sleeved waist of thread lace. A . dancing frock of corn colored

! organdie voile (A fabric combining

the freshness of one and the durability of the other) has an apron effect created by a series of narrow ruffles applied to the skirt. The waist has a square neck and tight elbow sleeves, finished with a ruffle. Capes of chiffon or georgette have long sash streamers, depending from the collar, and make becomingly comfortable porch wraps. '
