Summer is always the season for a perfect riot of frills and flounces, and the year will be no exception to the general rule. There are any number of dainty skirts 1-ulfied almost to the waist, but the newest Jupe has a flat tablier in front and wider gathered panels at the sides.

As to the width of skirts around the bottom, nothing in this line surprises one now, and it is nothing unusual for the summer skirt to measure nine yards at the hem, although the cunninar'of their Of course, she has failed. She has achieved a cheap, tawdy effect about as far as could be imagined from the ensemble of either a sensible working woman or a leisurely lady on pleasure bent. Bhe has almost certainly been aiming at an of the last-named, but what she, ha made cf herself is a ludicrous, foolish dowd. There art- many Eirls like her girls who All through the winter there passed a Ions one of the busy downtown streets to her dally work a e-rl whose custome might furnish a text for a discourse ou bad taste In dressing. She.

Her raiment was like ur.to the lilies of the field In this one thing The corsage, cut out at the neck over fine coffee colored lace, was draped with a band of the same ruching fastened with a flat bow in the back. A fall of lace down the front of the bodice was held in place by several black velvet bows having small strass buckles in the center. The sleeves to the elbows were composed entirely of rows of lace en forme, looped up with black velvet bows.

The hat of soft green straw was trimmed with a garland of rosebuds and veiled with black hantilly draped up toward the back with tiny strass buckels. Lingerie hats are among the smart millinery efforts, and when the chapeau, gown trimming and parasol are of "bro-dierie Anglaise" the ucme of chic is reached. Some really costly laces are used this season for these becoming hats, and the variety which is considered elegant Just now here in Paris is known as the point de neige. It has a groundwork of Brussels net, on which appears a design of empire wreaths dotted with tiny white balls, which has given the lace its name. It it not a cheap dentelle, but nowadays we look with disfavor upon anything not expensive.

And the whole outfit was topped off by a gray and mammoth picture hat, the feathers whereof had long ago entitled themselves to a long rest in the ash box. Her gloves were light, dark, indifferent, or not at all-very often the latter.

Now, this is not in one least degree an exaggerated description of the costume irj which that misguided young woman went to her work all winter, fair days and foul. Anil the strangest thing about it Is that she looks neither a bold nor a bail girl, but rather seems somewhat timid and shrinking in her manner. In fact, nhe gave the Impression that she has tried her best to dress in a style the world will approve, and her timid appealing eyes seem to say that if she had failed It is not her fault.

Fancy waists made with deep berthas and shallow yokes are conspicuous favorites of the sesason, and are most charming made of the dainty thin materials so much in vogue. This one combines silk mull, all-over lace and inserted tucking with trimming of narrow Valenciennes frills, and is unllned, but the design nulls soft silks and wools equally well, and can be made over the fitted foundation whenever preferred. The horizontal tucks In waist and sleeves are among the notable features of the latest designs, and in addition to being effective, nerve the practical end of giving needed body to this fabric. The belt la one of the new draped ones, and the waist blouses over it most becomingly. The waist consists of the lining, the full" fromt and backs and the deep scalloped bertha.

The shallow yoke is formed by facing the lining to required depth, and can be made transparent by cutting the foundation away beneath, whenever fsuch effect is desired. The sleeves are elmply full, shirred to form frills at their lower edges.

Paris, April 30.

In looking around an assemblage of smartly-gowned Parisian women at the Ritz, in the Bois. the opera or theater, one observes that figures have suddenly changed from artistic and well-put-tip "floppiness" if one may use such a contradiction of terms) to trim, curving lines which well define the bust and restore to the waist its long lost petite proportions. In other words, we are gradually veering around to tight lacing in spite of the common sense which the women of today are credited with possessing. But who could sacrifice fashion to common sense, particularly when modes are as alluringly becoming as they nre today? Ptlll it is rather hard to change one's figure so radically with the style of one's gown. The revival of Victorian and directoire costumes is directly responsible for the wane of the waist invisible and the loose blouse effects.

La Mode is quite as capricious in her whims as the type of woman the poets sing about "uncertain, coy and hard to please." It is not often that even this imperious lady is so divided in her mind as she is at present between the fascinations of the modes and the directoire costumes. There is ni mistaking frocks built on these widely divergent lines. The directoire costume, with its long, tight-fitthig coat and close sleeves, is as far away from the full, gathered bodices and much trimmed manche of 1SW as a Quaker Is from a ballet dancer, yet both are equally correct from an authoritative point of view in the world of fashion. I hardly think many examples of the directoire period will be seen this summer, as we need a more amenable style for crepe de chine, muslin and all the gauziike, shimmery fabrics that will be worn for the next few months. In thin clothes and more solidly woven goods this style Is at its best; consequently rluffiness will revel during the heated term at least.

But even when the directoire style is entirely out of the question the full bodice is by no means a necessity. A newer and, I am inclined to think, more effective, corsage is that which is draped snuedy to one side and adorned with a double row of fancy buttons, a chou of shaded ribbons or some fastening of an ornamental nature. For voile or taffeta gowns two stole ends are introduced on th waist crossed in front over a vest MODEL FROCKS. A new model frock shown is in a lovely dull shade of pistachio green cloth. The skirt is full and looks as if it were In two pieces buttoned together, the effect Ih ing produced by a narrow green silk braid sewed on in a castellated design around the knees and each point accentuated by a green velvet covered button.

The coat bodice is full and falls in loose plaits overhanging the waist belt of green suede, and it has the quaintest deep shoulder cape, the ends of which come down to the waist and cross over, fastening with a button. Both the cuffs to the full sleeves of the coat shaped turn back collar and revers are cut in tabs, and there is a little white cloth vest fastening with a double row of tiny round silver buttons that gives a cachet to this attractive costume, which is quite original in conception. Pin dotted, hair line siciliennes are making a number of useful but smart summer frocks, and one model with a double tucked skirt gathered round the hips has a belt and vst to the Eton fronted coat of green shot taffeta, while the full sleeves are plaited Into a cuff of the material, a full cuff of repousse lace. and. last of all, a wrist cuff composed of two tucks overlapping each other.

Some gold crochet buttons and ornaments lend their all important aid to the successful completion of this toilet. AVaya of I ing l'ean de Cygne.

For evening toilets nothing is lovelier than gold or sllvtr gauze ribbon on which are embroidered flower designs in delicate tones.

These ribbons remind me of some exquisite toilets turned out for reception and dancing occasions. An attractive little confection was of white chenille spotted net in style, in which a bolero effect was achieved by means of white velvet ribbon bands and lace insertion. Applique water lilies and their foliage In high relief formed the decoration of the decolletage. White soie de chine with lines of roses embroidered on the skirt from hem to knee and the corsage composed of a pretty arrangement of draped lace caught with pasta buckles and a denture of mousseline velours comprise another happy evening creation. Mme.

Lou bet wore at a recent reception a magnificent toilet of cream chiffon gauze over rich sulphur colored silk. The bodice was trimmed with spider web lace from which fell a soft white fringe. Kffective touches of gold were introduced Into the costume. and the ensemble proved a symphony In gold and white. Before leaving the subject of evening toilets let me tell you ubout a new materialprinted Brussels net brought out lately for ball frocks.

This net comes in all the delicate nuances of the season and is covered with artistic designs having the effect of hand painting. A dress of this net in Dresden pattern would be lovelv for a eirVv bur den party costume if worn with a large wnue picture nat inset with lace and adorned with one long white ostrich feather.

A good cleansing lotion for the face Is prepared as follows: To 10 ounces of rose water add (drop by drop, stirring con stantly) Vj-ounce simple tincture of ben zoin, 5 minims tincture of myrrh, 5 drops glycerin. If the skin be oily use elder flower In place of rose water. Before retiring the face should have the warm bath, the cold rinse; should be anointed with a good face cream and manipulated as before directed. Be careful in the selection of your powder, as it has much to do with a good complexion.

If possible secure one with the rice powder as a base, although some made with Btarch, nutpowder, subnitrate of bismuth, talc, are fair. I prefer the rice powder for the face, but a talc powder may be used for dusting the bod after the bath. MEG'S MAMMA. It is not that I'm growing old.

Double and triple skirts are finding favor with those who are tired of gathered ones, and most exclusive models are made with tucks the whole length of the skirt, graduating from a quarter of a yard to an inch in depth.

The waist and sleeves are alike tucked, and the effect is simple and stunning, although it requires an artist's hand to bring about the result. Everywhere there are ruchlngs made of silk, chiffon, velvet and ribbon or net arranged on gowns from hem to hips and from neck to bust. These ruchings take a lot of material and are a troublesome trimming to make, but repay the expense and labor in pretty effects. Voiles in thin varieties will create some of the daintiest summer ooptumes, and the graceful possibilities and lack of expense make a gown of this material a charming addition to one's wardrobe. A decided novelty is the combination of faced cloth with voile applied as a trimming in bands and straps dotted with small buttons.

The usual lining for a gown of this fabric is silk of the same color, but some very smart models have a contrasting shade under them. Most successful is mauve voile lined with pale blue, sapphire blue lined with white, and a clear pink over pale yellow. A pompadour dress seen the other afternoon at a studio tea took my fancy wonderfully. The roses were scattered over a gray ground, and the dress was en tirely framed with a lettuce green ruche.

One should have all the pure air and sunshine possible, take exercise in the open air, sleep eight hours out of the 4 (the old rule still holds good) and have the room well ventilated. The sleeping apartments should contain only the necessary furniture and draperies.

Gas should not be kept burning through the night, and as little as absolutely necessary at any time. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with the free circulation of the blood. The weight of the clothing should as far as possible hang from the shoulders; the feet should be kept warm. One should have regular hours for meals, three a day being sufficient under ordinary circumstances. For breakfast one may take coffee (clear or with boiled milk) or one of the cereal drinks, a "breakfast food," toast or brown bread, with a very little butter, and fresh fruit.

The fruit should be eaten first, to avoid indigestion. Eggs, too, are allowable, poached or soft boiled. At the other meals soups may be taken; also fish, mutton and poultry. As green vegetables are among the best purifiers of the system, they may be eaten freely. Tomatoes, carrots, spinach, cabbage, kale, cauliflower are all excellent for this purpose.

The greasy and salty foods are especially injurious to the complexion, therefore pastry should be avoided, but one may take instead custards, light puddings and fruits, fresh, canned or dried. Dried fruits are especially good, as also are baked apples. If in addition to these precautions medicines are needed, one may take sulphur (two teaspoonfuls of flowers of sulphur made into a paste with a very little milk, then stirred into a glass of milk) immediately on rising in the morning. Castor oil may be taken with benefit in many cases. Considered locally, the health and beauty of the skin depends greatly on the cleanliness of the pores, the freedom from foreign matter.
