Martin Leads in Favor for Summer Season NeckpiecesCollarless Frocks Improved By Dainty Fur Chokers White Fox Effective With Gray Sport Cosrurnes-Straight Lines in Capes of the Season. HE touch of fur gives the final touch of perfection to the spring and autumn costume. Summer furs, as they are called, because they come out when winter furs are retiring to moth-ball packages, are really furs for spring and autumn. Rarely do you see a fur neckpiece on a sultry July or August day, though fur Is worn on July and August evenings when the air Is cool and one's costume Is diaphanous. But for all the months of spring and up to the end of June the fur neckpiece is both comfortable and smart with a tailored coat or frock; indeed it Is an almost imperative feature of the costume since for most women changing directly from a muffling fur coat collar to the openneck style of the warmer season, would mean a bad case of tonsilitis or ' a nasty cold-in-the-head. Fine, Soft Pelts For Summer Neckwear For the most part the summer fur collarettes are dainty, diminutive affairs Just a little string of peltry with a small brush dangling at one end. These dainty, tiny neckpieces cost Quite a bit, however. One may pay as much for a cunning little st6ne marten or mink cravat as for a big sprawling fux neckpiece that covers the shoulders. Usually the summer fur neckpiece has fur on both sides that is. It can be worn either side out. The large, sprawling winter fur neckpiece is an animal skin laid out flat and lined with satin or some other material. A typical summer fur neckpiece is shown with the frock that combines a beaded bodice with 6kirt of lighter material. This dainty little fur collar Is of stone marten and is worth about forty-five dollars. Stone and baum marten or beau-marten as it is popularly called are in great demand for summer neckpieces. The pelt is soft and feathery and shades into lovely tones. There is a dainti ness about color and texture of the fur that even mink and sable seem to lack, for all their rich elegance One of these scarfs is pictured with " an embroidered veldyne frock worn with a draped hat. As a rule the more formal the costume, the smaller and daintier the fur neckpiece for the spring and summer season that is. Some large neckpieces are worn by women who own them and cannot afford to put them In cold storage and buy extra furs for summer time; but the big sprawling fox scarf has not the same style with a formal tailleur or frock on a May day that the tiny marten collarette has. With sport costumes big, fluffy neck furs are the choice; they seem to give a more dashing and sporty effect. But

Bathing Accessories Grow Smarter and Smarter

ONE no longer totes her bathing paraphernalia to the beach in a traveling bag with sad consequences to the lining of the bag if the suit Is not quite dry for the homeward trip. There are special bags and suitcases now for bathing suits, smart, diminutive affairs that make the regular traveling bag look a huge and clumsy makeshift, used In this capacity. A very attractive bathing suit bag is of rubberized leatherette in something the shape of a music roll. It closes under two buckled straps and has a small handle for easy carrying. It is about seven by thirteen inches when closed and In it there is room for bathing suit, cap, stockings, slippers, bath-towel and a kit of vanity belongings. A good way to carry your powder puff and box (and other things that must be kept dry) home from "the beach is to tuck them Inside your rubber bbipe cat) and roll up the cap

Squirrel chokers run from fifteen dollars up. They are pot in the class of the martens and minks for formal wear and do not pretend to be. White Sport Furs Fancied This summer the white neckpieces will be worn mostly with sport costumes. "White fox is distinctly smart with gray tweed or homespun sport kit and the snowy fox looks well with white flannel or white silk Jersey suits. Illustrated is a very stunning country club costume; the suit of pale gray tweed, the hat of black and white mllan, and the fur neckpiece of white fox. Gray ribbed stockings are accompanied by black calf sport oxfords and the cont buttons in trim double-breasted style over a sport skirt of white linen. The lines of the suit are particularly good nowhere tight, yet presenting a trim effect on the figure; the coat unbelted but not flaring loose anywhere. This is the proper length for a sport suit- not nearly as long in the skirt as formal frocks or the formal tailleur. A skirt any longer, in a sport costume, would really be absurd and exaggerated now that all women have become accustomed to the comfort of short outdoor skirts. Very long frocks are going to have their day, no mistake about that! But nobody believes the day is going to last. Women, after their emancipation from trailing petticoats, are simply not going to be bothered with them any more. Undoubtedly long skirts will have a frenzied following for a few months but it will be as hard for "the trade" to induce women to stick to long skirts as it is to induce them to wear long, stiff, boned corsets again after a period of comfort in girdles. But securely. A rdbber cap can be thoroughly dried Inside and out in a few minutes long before the suit dries and protected by the dry rubber .cap, various small belongings will travel home undampened even if rolled up in a wet bathing suit. - GARDEN TUNICS ARE OR work in your garden this season you do not want a. clumsy smock, flaring to the knae below a close yoke. Instead, you will have a slim, clinging, graceful tunic of printed silk, held In at a low waistline by a girdle of tiny flowers. A smock of the 6ort is of crepe de chine in shaded greens. It is cut in slipon style with a rounded neckline and short sleeves that scarce reach the elbow. The lower edge of the tunic is turned up in a deep .hem that foms pockets for small belongings of the' fair gardener. And the belt is of green leaves and

never fear that "the trade" will ever try to make women stick to any fashion. No profit in that, at all! Skirt lengths and corset styles will keep on changing merrily from season to season. Some styles "take" and others do not, but the obliging manufacturer is always ready to present new .ones. Wraps Of Fabric Rather Than Fur This Year Though a fur neckpiece is an indispensable asset of the warm-season costume, fur wraps for summer have waned a bit In popularity because of the irresistible charm of this year's cloth and silk wraps. There are so many styles and all are so graceful who wants to invest in a sealskin or moleskin cape that will not be warm enough for next winter wear? By the sea on an August night a fur cloak is a gratefully comfortable garment, but one's winter fur cloak will answer as well as a special one built for August wear. Ana lor ail summer uttasiuiio the smart wrap of silk or cloth is perfectly suitable. Many of the new three-piece street costumes have graceful cape wraps that may be removed and worn with other costumes, and some of these wraps, with their light colored linings, are quite dainty enough for veranda or boardwalk over summer evening frocks. Fur Neckpieces With Suits, Not Wraps Very seldom is a fur neckpiece worn with a wrap. The effect is usually clumsy, unless the fur Is sewed on the wrap and makes a composite part of its smartness. And most of the wraps have very satisfactory collars of their own long throw collars to toss over the shoulder, or smart choker collars that fasten up about the neck. A neckpiece over all would spoil the line. But with neat little spring suits, and with tailored frocks the small fur neck-finish is admirable. And the bit of fur is comfortable, too, over a Very smart new bathing caps are of green rubberized silk with black flowers set at either side. The cap is corded and is graceful in shape like a smart turban and the big flowers set over the ears at either side give a smart and saucy effect. CHARMING AFFAIRS little white flowers sewed closely on a narrow strip of braid. FANCY FOR GRAY EXTENDS TO UMBRELLAS N contrast with the brlght-bued umbrellas of the moment is a new demure tfmbrella in fashionable T gray tones. The cover is of dove gray silk and the handle is of gray bakelite hand-etched in black and white. Frame, tips and ferrule are of silver. Nothing could be daintier or more elegant than this silver-trimmed gray silk umbrella and because of its very quietness of tone it is a conspicuous asset of the costume on a rainy day.

spring jacket cut away around the throat, or with a frock having a rounded-out neckline. It is not quite good taste, either, to wear a cut-out-at-the-neck dress in the street. One must swathe the bare throat with something and the bit of fur seems to be the most satisfactory thing. The three-piece suit pictured, and the black restaurant frock illustrate two typical spring modes; the suit combines a cape with a dainty frock, and the restaurant costume shows the new ankle-length skirt, the slashed sleeve and the V neckline now again coming into fashion. The suit is of navy Poiret twill with bands of braided twill and these braided bands trim the bodice of tan moire silk. The cape, of navy twill is braided to match and is lined with the tan moire. Skirt and bodice are in one piece, though the materials are in contrast. The dinner frock is of black crepe and black embroidered net and here again is the one-piece frock with skirt and bodice in contrast. The draped, first glance the recumbent lady in the picture seems to be in for something ominous. The surgical looking chair, the capable looking attendant suggesting a trained nurse, the row of antiseptic looking bottles, the queer contraption trailing a long tube from the wall, and most of all the open box that might hold all sorts of fearsome instruments, all give an effect of pathological potentiality anything but reassuring. Some sort of operation more or less gruesome is being prepared for; that's the first effect you get, isn't, it ? . , , But as a matter of fact the recumbent lady is having the time of her life. She is being made over to look about .ten years younger than her mirror told her this morning, and the process is so delightful, so agreeable, that she never wants to get up. The process is called an electrode facial massage; or in plainer words: Having your pores cleaned. Pores are the things to get at now in rejuvenating complexions. Painting and powdering and massaging the surface of the skin is now admitted to be only a compromise with beauty. .Underneath are the pores very likely clogged up almost hopelessly with accumulations of powder and grease. The thing is tor have you pores made fresh and clear aiid active as a baby's and behold jwu have a lovely, peaches and cream baby complexion. This is how it's done. You go into the beauty parlor, remove your hat and sink back in the comfortable leather-upholstered chair which is adJusted perfectly to suit your proportions. Yoi close your eyes and the soothing, pleasant ministration begins. Somebody tucks a towel under your chin and wraps another towel carefully over your permanent wave. Then you are patted over face and

slashed sleeve is graceful and charming for a semi-evening costume.

NEW EYEGLASS VEIL NOT PRETTY BUT VERY SMART c ANVIN seldom sets a style that is not charming; but one cannot per ceive the charm in her new. "eye glass" veil, a novelty of the season which seeni3 to have caught on immensely in Paris. The veil is square and of fine hexagonal mesh. It is swathed and draped around a small hat, one edge covering the face to the chin and the sides dropping in cascade drapery to the shoulders. (Much smarter now, remember, to have your veil ends drop at the sides, than the back!) A lace insert is so arranged in the sheer mesh of the veil that it comes across the eyes, rounding down at either side of the nose in an exaggerated effect of eyeglasses. The effect Is certainly striking, but it can scarcely be. said to be alluring, or particularly flattering to a pretty face. throat with the most delicious smelling cleansing cream applied and presently removed with soft bits of gauze. Somebody tucks something into your hand the little handle attached to the electrode. Soon you feel the most pleasant sensation as a tiny cup is moved in rotary motion all around your cheeks, up on your forehead, down around your chin and even over throat and neck. With the gentle hum of the electric current and the delicate touch of the little cup all your tiredness, your tenseness seems to seep out of you. You don't feel invigorated or alert yet but Just deliciously rested, and a little sleepy. Into the little cup runs a trickle of warm water that has been mixed with the pore-cleanser. As the warm mixture i3 moved about over your face you have the consciousness that a gentle, thorough cleansing is leaving your skin as fresh and glowing as an infant's. If your face has been much neglected, or if you have an oily skin with Incipient blackheads, the process Is repeated. Then comes the application of a cream that gives out a faint fragrance of lavender, and deft expert fingers manipulate your facial muscles so that the cream is stroked in Just the right way. After the cream comes a cooling lotion, lightly sponged on. This seems the end you do hope they aren't through! No here comes another application; this time a white, creamy liquid, also sponged on. This, you are told, is to protect the cleansed pores from receiving dust particles or anything else that would be harmful. Now a dusting with face powder and if you ask for it, a touch of rouge. Then you are allowed to sit up and look in the mirror. Yes, it is, it must be you! But a You, fresh and dewy looking like a

v . 3 U4k DISH TOWELS AS KIT CHEN ORNAMENTS ITH good linen dishtoweling down t,o a quarter of a' dollar the yard again there is no reason every housewife should not have plenty of fresh, presentable dishtowels in her kitchen. A dozen dishtowels, some on the rack, crisply folded; some soaking in cold water; and some laid in piles in the linen drawer; used to be the average proper supply in even the humblest home. Dishtowels were not supposed to be special luxuries and one caught up a crossbarred towel to take hot pans out of the oven or mop up milk spilled on the table. But housewives have come to regard linen dishtowels with reverence in the past few years. Crossbarred ' tea towels and crash plate towels have risen to the dignity of wedding presents, and In many a kitchen old flour bags and discarded face towels, too THE QUEST ROOM PINK blotter and rose-hued ostrich feather penholder are all very gay and decorative for the guest room but who wants to write on a pink blotter? Or scribble postcards to the home folks with an ostrich penholder? Ornamental desk fittings, it does seem, are being carried a bit too far in the opinion of sane people who really write; or who count the gentle art of correspondence as one of the duties of life. Alas, that the telephone, installed in every boudoir usually under a petticoat of taffeta and gold lace has taken the place of gracefully worded little messages in pen and ink; and that pink blotters and ostrich penholders are mere posueurs in my lady's chamber! In England the personally written note, delivered by a footman or by the iiiiiiaiiiiBBHiiia girl. Tired little lines gone and not tenly your skin fresh and smooth, but your eyes rested and bright. You see, the pore-cleaning treatment gets to the bottom of the trouble with your complexion as far as the skin goes. Proper diet and plenty of sleep, with the right amount of exercise, every sensible woman knows are the real foundations for a good complexion. But even these do not always keep away sagging lines and little wrinkles and a pasty or yellow look. After thirty the complexion has to have direct attention to maintain the rose-leaf softness and freshness of youth. It is really a wonder that 9 - 1

THROW-COLLARS ON SMART WRAPS AST year's cape wrap may be brought up to date by adding a wide, long throw-collar which will fall to the waistline at back and front when the ends are tossed about the neck. These ends are edged with long silk fringe. A black or navy blue cape may have a collar of gray veldyne and the cape may be lined with erav canton crene or sarin tn . match the collar. WRITING TABLE post is still the custom of polite society. It is considered more corret ; to write than to telephone. Better opportunities for writing am! less easy use of the telephone would make a vast improvement in the casual manners of young folks of today. Have you as a guest ever sat down to write at one of those pink-blotter-ostrich-penholder desks? And found the pen rusty and the ink crusty; and all the envelopes to mat-h the monogrammed paper corralled by someone in time of need and nary a postage stamp nearer than downtown? Fresh pens, a securely corked bottle of fresh ink, several handy blotters, plenty of stamps and a goodly supplv of paper in letter and note sizes you'd be sure to find.in any well furnished English guest room. skins coated for years with creams, and powder3 and other cosmetics look as well as they do. GAY LITTLE FUDGE APRON'S FOR FLAPPERS 01 HEN the flapper makes fudge now she looks like a cunnins Dutch doll all on account of her new fudge apron. The apron has a snug-fitting, sleeveless waist, or bib, supported by shoulder-straps, and to this short, snug waist portion is gathered a full white skirt which stands out from the skirt of the costume underneath. The apron is made of linen and cretonne; the full skirt of cream linen, say, and waist, deep hem and pockets of blue and white cretonne, or of pink and black cretonne. The waist buttons in the back and the ample skirt of the apron protects the frock all around.
