FREAKS OF SUMMER FASHIONS

Drawn Grape hats are perhaps among the pret-
tiest of all the light headgear.
No greater novelty than the canvas gaiter shoe
is shown for bathing purposes. They are quite
shapely
The old magenta red of twenty-five years ago
is making its appearance in many different
shades and seems likely to become popular
color.
Aquamarine is a gem not much used, but is
now coming to the front again and is greatly
prized by lovers of beautiful stones, for in color
it is as rare as it is picturesque.
Lace insertions are more and more used to
beautify and to tighten up the simple wash
gowns for summers hottest days, and all sorts
of lace are used for this purpose.
Primrose cloths are among the attractive col
ors and so reasonable as to be within the reach
of the slenderest purse. They are in all the de-
sirable shades of color and design.
The new macintosh is silk, with cashmere
pattern, in shades of old gold. light blue, and
glace red. The shape is that of the gathered
pelisse with tight back, called the dolman back.
Flexible gold bangles and necklets are among
the novelties in jewelry. They may be stretched
to an amazing length. There is no need of a
clasp. They are slipped over the wrist or over
the head, as the case may be.
The low-cut neck has taken at last, and the
summer girl thinks it "a very pretty mode, if she
have pretty throat. Care should be taken that
the neck be not too low. A slight point before
and behind make the prettiest effect
Luxurious bathing suits the order Of the
day, wash silk being a most admirable fabric,
though rather expensive. 1t lasts so long as to
make it rather desirable The ordinary suit
takes about eight yards, which is not a skinny
pattern.
A sash is pretty addition to bathing cos
tune, but the swimmer will wantit very snugly
tied about her waist with no loose ends to hinder
sash, which buckles tightly on the side, is best
for bathing costume.
Having always had the night to himself, the
owl is now having his day. He is favorite in
1ewelry; he is being carved in jade and cameo
smart pepper cruet, sits IN state on chocolate,
claIet, and ale jugs, and has usurped the perch
OF the raven above the chamber door.
white silk bathing suit pleases the girl who
wishes to he foremost in all the new kinds of
fashion, and if she has sailor collar and tie of
lght-blue silk together with sash of the same
hue, she quite satisfied and happy. Silk stock
ings are of course part of this chic rig and are
very long and consequently very expensive.
A very chic and attractive garment is the
shirred white silk dust cloak, the latest travelling
and carriage wrap. 1t is not ungraceful, and is
or China is preferred to any other, and the un-
bleached tussore is liked by some persons who
! ion which is at all conspicuous as the pure white
wrap certainly is.
The mannish collar we see on English jackets
is in its way desirable for an occasion when one
wants protection from the weather, on board
yacht or in cool weather at the seaside or
mountains, for this broad, rolling collar turns
well up on the back of the neck. 1t is of velvet
or of fur, for according to English fashion fur
trimmings quite the thing for summer
wraps, as well as for winter garments.
Black stockingette is one of the best liked fab
rics for bathing drawers and stockings. Afavor-
ite mode is the bathing tights made as one piece
from the waist line to the foot These may be
bought woven and fit so tightly to the skin that
they are most comfortable. The dragging of
dripping clothing about the body on coming out
of the water is one of the features most uncom-
Portable in going in bathing, and with the Jersey
tights this in part obYiated.
