Bck Mew of a Midsummer Walking Dress of Biscuit Tussore and Jet. ficSe- Model) v By Lady Duff Gordon f-LUCILE") WHAT to tut In tie dog days Is a problem that sometimes mikes u sigh for the days at tie early Greeks. One can be cool, however If one keep a few aim pie. rule. Wear whites and cool soft greens and tan and also light pinks aid blues. These are midsummer colors Here on this page I show a conple of Terr practical Summer walking tresses one of tussore and net and one of serge. The evening dress Is also adapted for the warm nights. The little serge reminds me of another an-other typical and. smart bine one that has a short sacque coat bound with braid and an array of braided buttons fastening Its loose straight waistcoat fronts of black satin. The skirt hangs in very fall pleats which are also bound with braid, the same finish being given to the side-pockets which are a feature of quite a number num-ber of the new skirts The accessories ac-cessories consist of boots made in the same serge suiting with Jnst a ramp of patent leather and a sailor hat with a soft crown of black straw Joined together In the bonds of modish matrimony by means of an encircling array of flatly laid black wings, whose overhanging points break, and therefore soften the erere line of the trim. Then "ielge covert coating Is another much favored fabric for the making of these simple coat and Hrt costumes, black and white headgear and footwear being frequent fre-quent and smart accompaniments though sometimes yon will see and then certainly admire boots all of bronze jlace or others of brown kla" with beige cloth uppers and then to crown all, a long narrow and much tlp-tllted toque perhaps of brown satin bordered with a wreatl of flatly laid and softly shaded leaves and draped with a brown lace veil As to the aforementioned coat dress" of navy blue serge suiting It l one of the many things for which omen ma and Indeed must be tmly thankful this season. For It is always most convenient, com foruble and smart though It Is Krlaps 8t Its best when its stylo ' most militant with broad silky hack braid closely banded across jhe straight somewhat loosely hang "S front edging the little upstand jng collar and banding the hem of the skirt, whose fulness all comes irom the closely pleated folds at Uie sides The obviously most suitable and martheajgear for such a costume Is M&nm&WlMdtesscu the new "sword handle hat, which -wins Its name by Us trimming of soft plumage -two long quill feathers In traduced at the left side Into the toft bandings and loojis, helping to secure the desired and very deeor atlve effect. The sailor shape on which this sword of peace and piquancy Is laid, la carried out In navy blue silk, and It Is also being made In all black. Of coarse there are any number of other coat-dresses of navy serge which will, perhaps Introduce a device of fine braiding1 at the sides to mark the change from the straight loose Uses of the corsage to the out ward flaring fulness of the skirt while others again will be arranged with a very wide and quite loose belt effect or perhaps a broad eash of the same serge bound with braid and crossed low down and loosely about the hips Sometimes too a telling touch of contrasting color will be Introduced as for Instance when the military color Is of cerlie 1 non embroidered In white and gol 1 and when the buttons which figure In front and at the hips are of a brighter blue set in the centre of a square of gold a somewhat elaborate design of black braid and soutarl e being then carried down either side So that really there should be a coat-dress to suit every woman which Is fortunate seeing that every woman certainly needs one of these partlc ular and well nigh perfect garments which are probably going to do more fhan anything else to decide the battle of the skirts and to win the victory for tl e new full mode s For this style is Infinitely more becoming be-coming and ea to wear when thus allied to a long straight corsage tlnn wlen made separately and more closely fitting about the waist Lady Duff-Gordon Describes the Newest Fashions for the Dog Days LADY DUFF CORDON the famous Lucile of London and foremost creator of fashons in the world writes each Week the fashion article for th s newspaper present ng all that u newest and best in styles for well dressed women Lady Duff Gordon s Pans establishment brings her into close touch with that centre of fashion 5 Front and Side View of the Tussore and Net Dress On the Side a New Summer Evening Gown and Below a Smart Little Serge. kt"-nc7e" Modth) Jft - tl ' mi ft TApt tl lel lPIMVi' AS'i&feMi T ta'aU fflP t ' jiff 1 1 53 ,nynomber nH&UlN llh ll Ch e arranged fS t 1 J 5 "? f F UmBw-'i.1 v jWr M quite loose Ot I Wf ft ftttA J "1 1 and loosely ff I i , f -e 8 t SN ll 1 mes too a jT I h Vt hM t ,S i 4l IR W sting color T !
