I Turin June 20 The season stands i in its zenith like tile sun whose hot rays have driven all who are fortunate fortu-nate to be able to escape Into the cam pagna where our fashionables spend the day in true Italian dolcefar niente and leave their protecting walls only when the shades of evening fall and cooling zephyrs dispel the lin gering heat and artificial light enhances en-hances the beauty of lustrous dark beauty eyes and raven tresses and enchanting gowns Lightness and airiness is the parole pa-role for summer wear and how delightfully de-lightfully grass linens and lawns fulfill this purpose They come in great variety vari-ety of design plain and striped with I dainty colored silk or embroidered in various patterns and often elaborately I spangled or beaded Fine sheer grass lawn Is to be worn over daiatily shaded glace silks many o which are II first accordeon pleated A graceful gown of very fine grass lawn having a I pale mauve satin stripe running through I shows two ecrue Van Dyke point collars as were much worn last I year utilized in a novel way to fall over the shoulders and define a sort of round yoke on the full blouse bodice i of striped grass lawn over a lining of I j mauve taffeta glace The full puifed elbow sleeve or lawn is unlined and I finished at the elbow with a band of folded mauve satin ribbon and graceful grace-ful bow Highstanding buttertly bows I of the same ribbon decorate the shoulders shoul-ders and the folded collar with its j full loops and bows at the back is likewise I wise made of mauve satin ribbon The I fullness of the blouse is confined at the waist by a wide folded belt of ribbon and the hips arc made to appear larger by large full robbin loops ending on both sides of the front gore of the skirt in long wide streamers of different dif-ferent lengths which form the only decoration on the plain rather close fitting skirt of mauve striped grass I lawn over a foundation lining of mauve j taffeta glace A large black picture i hat with drooping plumes lends an ar I tistic finish to this useful costume so easily constructed and which will be found suitable for all occasions Instead of the taffeta or silk lining on which flowered or dotted muslin dresses are usually mounted plain printed batiste or lawn is now much used I certainly makes a cooler and often a daintier gown If a less rich looking one and these soft linings come In all pretty shades of pink lilac green or other tints that form the backgrounds back-grounds of figured muslins The wild craze for materials heat pressed In the manner knownas sun pleated accordeon pleating etc extends ex-tends even to bicycle skirts which prove to be more useful than ornamental orna-mental and to the newest and most expensive underwear The effect is almost al-most invariably charming when the garment Is new but alas for the practicability prac-ticability of it Heatpressed garments gar-ments are not meant to be sat upon as the straight folds of ligvit material is easily marred and an unexpected rain or a few days of humidity detracts de-tracts all their beauty and leaves them limp and sagging rags As trimmings for flounces rosettes etc the heat pressed plcatings are far more serviceable service-able and exceedingly soft and dainty An exquisite model is made up of richly rich-ly blending red and green Japanese silk with yoke of emerald green velvet vel-vet pleated flounces or black mousse line de sole and rich black moire ribbon rib-bon The blouce bodice closing clos-ing at the back is draped over a lining of red satin The back of the bodice Is quite closefit ting except for a wide box pleat in the tnb center to conceal the fastening The I green velvet yoke comes only to the chest and does not extend to the back I Full heatpleated flounces of black mousseline de soie edged with narrow I nar-row silk machine made lace and decorated dec-orated with two rows of black satin i baby ribbon border the yoke in front and pass over the shoulders forming full epaulettes over the slightly puffed upper arm of the silk sleeve Very narrow pleated flounces also decorate the yoke in vertical cascades which alternate with narrow strips of gold spangled passementerie The emerald green velvet collar is striped with spangled passementerie and is trimmed at the back with full pleated flounce Wide black moire ribbon forms the folded belt and large butterfly bow The Japanese silk skirt Is cut quite narrow and lined throughout with red satin The back widths are fulled into two large box pleats The front gore is defined at both seams by two gathered gath-ered heatpleated widths of span I I gled black mousseline de soie confined con-fined below the knee by bows of black I moire ribbon Five pleated lace edged flounces of black mousseline de sole run diagonally from the hem of the I front gore over the sides ending at the back under the box pleats I We illustrate today a model for an elegant promenade costume for a young i lady I is to be made of sheer white crepe de chine over mauve and gold i changeable taffeta The skirt is quite 1 plain without any trimming to mar the exquisite light effects produced by the combination of colors and textiles The full blouse bodice composed of Zouave jacket of mauve velvet elaborately embroidered with silver sequins and crystals and lined with taffeta The deep epaulettes of mauve velvet embroidered em-broidered to match the Zouave jacket and likewise lined with taffeta lend additional fullness to the upper arm of the slightly fulled legomutton taffeta sleeve of crepe de chine over and finished at the wrist by a very small cuff of mauve velvet The folded smal cuf standing collar are also of bel mauve velvet and a bow of crepe de chine trims the back of the neck A chatelaine of chased silver with amethyst ame-thyst settings goes well with this costume cos-tume It is the fad of ultra fashionables fashion-ables to attach to their chatelaines such a number of trinkets all more or less useful and some very ornamental that the fair wearers approach is quite noticeable by the merry tinkling of her ornaments reminding one of an Italian Indian nautch dancer gt
