Show wre m the weo m WASumm I COSTUTVIE OF WHITE PONGEE. Truly this is a white season and at no place 5s It more thoroughly demon-' demon-' strated than at Atlantic City. On the great boardwalk last Sunday nine out of every ten gowns were some sort of white material. Our urtlst sketched the above from the great throng as one worthy of special notice. It Is white pongee tucked In groups over the hips and down the front and finished at bottom with three deep circular tucks. The bodice has a wide box plait down front, blouslng prettily over a deep girdle of the material. Pongee also makes the wide collar beautifully embroidered, and where it closes there Is ' a bow of black velvet ribbon. Elbow sleeves are trimmed with embrold- 1 i crcd medallions and tiny ruirtes of i silk. "With this costume was worn a jaunty hat of white chip, the crown encircled with a band of black velvet ribbon and a huge bunch of white violets rested on the hair at back. 1 , PRACTICAL MORNING CHAPEATJ. Of soft white braid, the hat here shown is prettily bent and, decorated I around crown with green roses and underneath brim with soft green ribbon, , of aame shade as the flowers. AN IDEAL TRAVELING SUIT. For the girl who will travel In September we suggest a suit of brown voile fashioned after our illustration. The skirt Is perfectly plain save for tiny H, tucks which lake away the fullness over hips. A jacket of the bolcra tvpe Is decidedly chic with an applied rever from shoulder to wide plait in front which is trimmed with long buttonholes and small goTd buttons. The. puffed sleeve is tucked over the shoulders and finished Just below the elbow with a narrow , cuff, inset with brown velvet," matching that 'used for collar and rovers at 1 neck. This la worn over a blouse of cream batiste, with a deep girdle of I " brown silk. In white serge frocks the makers have Introduced many novelties in cut and line. The Empire idens that have taken no firm a hold lately appear here, as elsewhere, and Empire coats, long or short, are made up In white serge or white cloth, with skirts to match and with severe tailor finish or with collars and cuffs and motifs of heavy openwork open-work embroidery on linen. White fiber braid or soutache trim some of the white serge and cloth models, mod-els, and are often used with excellent results, though the most stylish tailors are using braid less than they dla earlier in the season, and the soutache, when It is used, Is more likely to be set on In fine vertical lines rather than In the scroll designs. Bands and cut-out motifs of white taffeta are applied In some of the suits In white serge or cloth, and If skilfully used may give originality, yet detract little from tho desired severity of lino and finish. The bolero Is, of course, to be reckoned reck-oned within the province of the tailored tail-ored frock of white wool, but it occupies a place less prominent than that accorded to it in other fields and Is not a favorite with the makers. One new coat seen In whlto wool and striking a middle course twlxt the dressy and the severe had a folded girdle passing snugly around back and sides, but slipping through slits on each side of the front and leaving the plain front to hang straight. Another good model from a popular English tailor Is In three-quarter length, and has rather full-shaped sklrtB set on in a seam that runs up in an unusual line at tho sides, suggestive sug-gestive of dlrectolro Ideas. There are vertical pocket openings In the skirt fronts, big pearl buttons fastening the double-breasted fronts, and a collar with wide rovers and with a little braid on blue cloth for finish. The pockets of these white tullored coats are often Important details In the finish, adding much to the Individuality Individuali-ty of the garment. Square pockets with buttoning llaps, such as are In evidence upon the three-quarter, seml-flttlng seml-flttlng coal, with slot scams and gold buttons, are popular, and there are certain large pockets with flaps tapering taper-ing to a pointed tab which runs under a little strap Instead of buttoning. The prestige of the long, close-fitting coat Is great, and since It is at Its best In cloth. It will undoubtedly (be a feature fea-ture of autumn modes. "Waistcoat and collar details and originality of cut give variety to these coats, and a recent model, shows a most effective Dlrectolre collar and rabat arrangement arrange-ment of lingerie bordered by velvet upon up-on a long coat otherwise plain. Tho touch of velvet Is one of the conspicuous con-spicuous notes In the latest summer confections, and there Is no denying its charming connection with the summer sum-mer stuffs. Often the velvet falls In with the monotone scheme of the frock or wrap, but as often the velvet used Is black or of dark or brilliant tone, contrasting audaciously yet harmoniously harmo-niously with the color of the material. Velvet of the deep beetroot reds upon the light pink shades of the same color line, deep amethyst upon a delicate tint of the same color, dark glowing copper brown upon the pale warm serge tints with a glint of copper that are known as moldore these are some of the combinations of two shades of one color most often seen; and the emerald em-erald and moss greens, tangerine and coq de rochc and strawberry and ce-rclsse ce-rclsse shades in velvet are chosen to relieve many colors belonging to entire ly different garments, and all the tones of white. A daring but chic use of black velvet was one of the striking features of a particularly lovely gown In the lightest light-est and most supple cloth of a soft banana yellow tone. Save for the velvet vel-vet straps on the gracefully-draped bodice and on the short puffed sleeve and the lace gulmpe, tho gown was all In one tone, a cloth' collar, cloth sleeve fall and the skirt bottom up to a point well above the knees being heavily and boldly embroidered in chenille matching match-ing the cloth. Upon all the banana, apricot, sulphur sul-phur and canary yellows, black velvet Is especially effective. Rose velvet also al-so Is liked upon the pale yellows of the imaize or straw tints, this color combination combi-nation being one of the Louis XVI. fancies. i A PRETTY SUMMER WRAP. Of shimmering changeable silk the above model is Ideal for a summer wrap. There Is no foreign trimming; bands of silk being the only decoration. A band of line plaltlngs resembling- tucklngs Is used to soften the lines over the shoulders shoul-ders and forms the Hot round collar. The sleeves, as will be noticed, are merely mere-ly deep shoulder capes. id AN ARTISTIC SUMMER HAT. While there has been considerable rebelling against the.small hat, and many fashionable women are insisting upon large hats, the former is extremely chic, worn on the proper head. A charming model is white Neapolitan bent In large plaits," which turn abruptly in the back and trimmed-with white ostrich plumes on top and where the brim turns. STUNNING LINEN GOWN.
