Summer Styles Which Have Been. Pro-
nounced En- Reggie.
Stripes grow in fashionable favor.
Portieres should always be heavy.
White chemisettes are again in favor.
Bonnets of rough straw are worn to
excess.
The fashionable folding fan has seven
sticks.
Velvet neck bands with throat bows
are much worn.
Bonnets entirely of jet are in high
fashionable favor.
Lilacs and wild violets are the flowers
of the passing moment.
Jet is as prominent as ever in millln-
cry and dress trimmings.
Woven tucks in wooden robes are
among the attractive novelties OF the
season.
The most fashionable combination of
color in millinery is heliotrope and
moss green.
White. and gold furniture grows in
favor, particularly for rooms furnished
and finished in tones of yellow.
Lace dresses, black, white and
cream, are the most elegant wear for
summer evening festivals of all kinds.
Lawn tennis and yachting dresses of
white flannel are made decorative with
Misunderstanding in bright colors.
Very dressy toilets of black lace and
watered silk are in favor for afternoon
teas, receptions and dinner parties.
Portieres should be hung lower than
the lintelon rings sliding on rods of
brass, walnut, mahogany, cherry or
California redwood.
Woolens of dark blue, Havana brown
and black, hair lined with white, are
made up into tailor suits with soft white
wool waistcoats.
Lace pottieres are appropriate only
for screening bedroom doors or to
hang behind heavy curtains, screening
the back parlors or dining room.
Pale yellow Madrascurtains are taste
fully used for the windows of rooms
finished in tones of gold color and
brown and furnished in white and gold.
Half-inch stripes of red, white and
blue with black hair line between are
seen on light chalie de LANES intended
for seaside frocks for young girls and
little people.
Narrow striped challie de LANES are
made up to have the width of the stuff
form the kilt of the skirt, SO that the
strips run horizontally, not vertically;
but this style is not arbitrary.
No really fashionable woman wears
silk for a street suit unless it is lustre-
less foulard or serge, and bordercd at
the bottom of the skirt with deep bands
of mohair, Titan or Hercules braid.
Lace mitts, invoiced lacet, but the
same net mitts, are again in vogue.
They come in all lengths, black and
white, and are the correct wear for
dinner parties and summer evening
festivals.
Light colored merinos and cashmeres
make pretty, inexpensive curtains fer
inexpensively furnished rooms. They
may be bordered with wool broche or
bands of wooden stuff of darker color,
plain orfigured.
If the craze for rough goods suits,
''stable cloths as the French call them,
mas done no other good service to the
woman's world, it has certainly helped
o Danish the unnecessary wearing of
silk and satin in the streets.
When a house has windows opening
on a cold northern exposure of land or
water, the panes of glass in the sash
should be ruby, wine, rose and amber
tinted if possible. If not possible, pink
and maroon Madras curtains will i'm
part warmth of color to the interior.
Some of the white wool stuffs come
with borderings of drawn work, clus-
tered cords and loops of cord Stimulating
eringes. on one sewage, This is intend
ed for the bottom of the skirt, the
narrower band of woven effects trim
ming the bodice sleeves, waistcoat and
tunic or scarf drapery.
A dash of pale blue or pale rose
gives a charming effect torooms finish
ed in gold and amber tones, furnished
in white and gold, and curtained with
pale yellow and rose Madras lace.
Pictures and their frames, the pieces of
china and bric-a-brac, even the Jap
anese lanterns and screens, should be
in harmony, or corresponding with the
yellow, brown. white and gold tints.
A pretty and sensible way of treating
dress skirt that has become worn
around the bottom is to cut off quarter
of an inch, bind with narrow braid,
and then border with a wide Hercdles,
Titan or giant braid, allowing the
lower edge to fall even with the narrow
binding. If the skirt is plated or fin
isned with box-plaited or kilt-plaited
flounce the braid must be dampened
after sewing on and pressed into the
folds of each plat with heavy iron or
tailor's goose.-N Y. San.
