WARM WEATHER WEAR.

Chiffon frocks in the flower tints, those with an all-over printed design, and those with printed borders aro the fashion of the moment. The suppleness of the fabric makes possible tho elaboration of ruffles, flounces, tiers, godets, jabots and capes—all tho fine details of the new and intricate mode. Tho smart, coats of sheer crepes or of chiffon deserve special attention. Some have wide scarf collars, cleverly applied, summer furs, fringes and tassels, novel horn effects and odd cuff treatments for

their ornamentation. They add comparatively little weight to one's apparel, yet give the finished appearance that is so very desirablo.

Quite tho latest newcomer to the ranks of sheer frocks is the model developed in past-el bcitisto, combined in some instances with lace or net. The most delicate of the pastels are the choice, and thore is a decided tendency to fullness at the hem in nil the models.

The coat made of two layers of georgette —in two shades of a colour or two contrasting colours—is new.

Sweaters join tho ranks of sheer garments when they are knit in eyelet-stitch, and the skirts that go with them are of sheer crepe. White shoes have many perforations for coolness, and hats of horsehair or sorao of tho openwork straws complete tho wardrobe designed for real warm weather.
