round the crown and with fiat bow on
one side like those on mems hats. These
hats are not worn tipped back on the
head as we usually have seen sailors,
but tilted way down over the DYES like
tho veriest dude among the men, only
the tips OF the bang being seen, while
those fortunate young women TO whom
bangs are not becoming necessities are
just in the utmost style IN these plainly
trimmed sailors. Now, a word or two
about the Garibaldi shirts. They must
be distinctly plaid, not Scotch mixed,
which really Is not plaid at all, but
sort Of hodge-podge of lines. The ma
ferial may be gingham, sateen, foulard,
surah, or, best of all, zephyr flannel
The ordinary loose fitting shirt waist is
the pattern used, with n plain colorcd
stitched belt, huge sailor collar, high in
side collar, and neat fitting turn-back
cuffs The distinct title for n young
woman gotten up in one of these rigs is
smart" She looks very much as
though she would like TO stick her hands
in her pockets and strut up and down.
Betsey Bobbet would say: "Ain't she
the perkiest thing!"
Knots, and bows, and loops, and puff
are all equally stylish arrangements of
the hair on the head, but the ensemble
must vary TO suit tho shape of individ-
ual. Women are culpably negligent. II
in this matter OF the changing style in
hair, they do not study the effect seri-
ously and carefully by the aid of hand
glass and mirror. Nothing renders a
fashion authority so Disguised with her
sex as the woman whose style OF Golf
fure does not suit her face nor the shape
of her head.
The fashion turns the hair up 10 the
crown Of the head with a loose, soft,
wavy twist, which must not suggest a
French twist, and then soft coils and
loops must lie about the top OF the
head, so that they look fluffy and loose,
yet must really be SO compact that the
shape of the head is as nearly round as
as can be.
All the bonnets are made 10 be worn
with such an arrangement of the hair
and with little, thin, fluffy bangs, which
are still cut 10 point.
Some few hats come 10 be worn with
low knobs or coils of braids, as, for in
stance, the English walking hats and
toques.
One Of the novelties, said TO be intro
duced especially for the race season, is
soft felt hats, black, white, gray and
flaming red. in shape like sailor hat
with rolling brim. The trimming is a
long scarf of crepe de chino Of the same
color, knotted on one side OF the front,
through which knots wings arc thrust,
and then the long end, hanging from the
back, is wrapped round and round the
throat and falls over one shoulder,
Such hat is the perfection OF comfort
when the day is cool.
A new introduction is the Spanish
mantilla Of lace--not necessarily Spanish
lace. II comes in all kinds OF lace, and
il even made OF crepe de chine and silk
null, borderG with n full lace fiounce.
The size permits the rounded end 90 lie
on the panier just below the waist.
IL is one Of the most convenient artic-
les of dress ever invented, and quite as
becoming as useful. For the opera and
for any evening wear il is the lightest
head covering that can be suggested. IL
never is wholly out OF fashion, always
has an air of antique family possessions,
and a good lace mantle is most salts
factory investment for young or old.
Yellow seems 10 rival green for choice
OF color. So little or so much trimming
is used on these costumes that they
could be bought inside Of any cost one
pleases IL some benevolent dressmaker
would only bring her price within reason.
Under special consideration just at
present is the travelling costume, and the
modiste finds IL quite "A problem To re-
concile the various contradictory re-
qurements made OF such dress, which
must be fashioned in great simplicity
and yet be decidedly original and stylish
in effect-must be utility garment,
appropriate for long journeys, while re-
manning dressy, perfect in fit, yet com
Portable, and as light and easy TO wear
AS may be. Plain woods i'm fine checks
and stripes are most used for such dress
es. However elegant the dress may be
in fabric, lit, and finish, the more nearly
the costume approaches TO the riding
habit the more In accordance II Is with
present fashionable taste. The long
dust cloak OF twilled silk, shirred about
the neck, is lined with thin but firm
quality OF surah of the same color, or
at most one delicately striped or checked,
for anything that will attract marked
attention Is considered i'm pad taste
where n travelling costume In concerned.
The market is still crowded with the
prettiest OF low-priced dainty cotton
fabrics, which enables women with
moderate purses TO dress charmingly at
littE expense, provided they make
suitable selections and make the
fabrics up in simple styles. There are
sheer lawns imported in lovely tints in
monochrome. Chambery fabrics are
fine and delicate, and those in boxes are |
beautifully embroidered. Heliotropo, |
primrose, and pink zephyr ginghans,
with white or tinted stripes, are trimmed |
on the bodice with loops and bows of vel |
vet ribbon. Pale-blue, gray, and straw
berry ginghams are fresh-looking, and |
