DAINTY FROCKS.

According to the opinion of tlie leading dressmakers, frocks of white lace will be counted the. smartest for wear for garden partfes. After white lace, beautiful toilettes made in every shade of beige and browji lace, including some wtan3erful new tones of pastel fawn, will be counted most chic, for there is no doubt that, so far as dresses for day wear are concerned, tones of biscuit colour and brown aro those that are going to lead the mode. Tones of yellow and a fascinating golden flame colour ar3 worn by many women who choose organdie as a medium for their toilettes. Black, overdraped with tancoloured tulle or brown lace is a novelty a la modo that looks exceedingly well. With such frocKs large brown lace hats trimmed with hanging draperies of fine black lace strike an effective note of originality. The majority of white gowns are of softly draped "georgette of a tone that favours ivory colour rather than dead white. Many of them are trimmed with the new ivory-coloured lace Anglaise or georgette embroidery. Crepe weave dresses showing a mass of drawn thread work or Venetian lacrder embroidery are another novelty fashion introduced for late summer wear, while organdie wonderfully worked with coloured silk embroidery and inset with plaquelike insertions of lattice work made of rouleaux of the same muslin are becoming more and more popular for debutantes' wear. Light biege coloured dresses, made of richly-patterned silk lace moimted over thin charmeuso foundations of the same colour, are other fashionable fads of the moment.
