FASHION NOTES.

Garden fichus and half shawls Of white
muslin and lace are worn with hats of
shirred muslin to correspond.
The gray and silver shades are striking
cases these tints take the precedence of all
others.
At mountain resorts, absolute living in
tennis suits is resorted to. and the comfort
cotton out of these easy-ftting suits is
boundless.
Exceedingly fine tennis blouses are made
of cherry wool crepe with cuffs of biscuit
colored silk. briar-stitched with red A
sailor tie of the silk, and cap of red silk
banded with fine gold galloon are worn
with this blouse.
Enameled jewelry has been revived as
destined to be wonderfully popular. and
the clever limitations of beautiful flowers
made by the jeweler In this dainty material
IS something wonderful. There appears to
be no limit to their adaptability.
The Spanish pelerine is now considered
the height of STYLE, and is worn with dressy
a shoulder cape of real Spanish and Chantil-
ly lace In a combined pattern. with scarf
ends that fasten with jeweled clasp at
the belt, and fall to the foot of the dress
skirt.
Silk underwear is deemed the most fash
iOnable, most comfortable most flexible.
washes best, is the most economical in the
long run, and, in fact all superlatives
which tend to enhance this underwear in
the favor of the fair sex can be used to con-
vey the advisability of wearing these gar
ments.
For very young ladies are fichus composed
of extra-wide sash ribbons. These are
Joined diagonally at the middle of the
back, crossed in front with a few pleats to
conform them to the figure, and knotted at
the waist behind. This is a style revived
from one popular the latter part of the last
century.
The deep round cut which is given to til q
necks of many new gowns is going to be a
very popular way of arranging them. 1t is
very trying mode on any save those who
have full. handsome Threats. Handsome
lace, which should be set on reversed and
allowed to fall over outw ards is given an
opportunity to be displayed both at the
neck and around the edge of the waist
One principal characteristic of the au-
tumn styles will be the increased popular
ity of the Directore redingote. which will
appear IN many forms, of greatly varied
materials, and with simple or elaborate
trimmings to snit the various occasions in
which il will be worn. This becoming over
dress has gained steadily in favor, and red
ingote effects will multiply continually
during the fall and winter seasons.
The artistic medieval ea-gOwhs. with
cuirass corsage and full skirts, are very
charmingly made of the SOFT beautifully
tinted silk muslins brOcaded with roses
and foliage. These are invariably made up
over silk Innings the shade of the gown.
Neither ribbons nor flowers are worn with
these dresses but upon the corsage is q deep
rundown collar of Venetian lace. this
reaching to decided point on front OF the
V-shape opening in the neck. There are
lace cuffs to match.
The caprice for borrowing details from
masculine attire grows still more evident,
and in tailOr-made walking suits and ten
mis- and yachting costumes there is really
very little except the skirt to distinguish
them from mems dress. Soft felt hats in
black. white and gray are worn, caps with
cloth or leather visors. stiff neckties with
scarf-pins, sailor knots and collars. vests
waists with studs. and so on. These little
Alterations appear most charmingly with
