NEW YORK, June 12.-[Special. Some
things are new in the wardrObes prepared
for the out-of-town season and some of the
new things are interesting. There is par
ticular interest attaching, for example, to
the gorgeous sunshades that preeD their
wings and prepare to hutter over the sea
sands. Why they should be called suns
shades is past telling, for they are trans
parent in nearly all instances. They offer
not the slightest protection against tho
rays Of Phoebus, but such of them as have
their seams edged with gold or silver
thread are bright and fair to look upon.
Many of them are embroidered with
flights of swallows winging from the top
of the canopy down toward the edge
crosswise. The adornment would seem
more realistic, it is possible, if the birds
were soaring upward. The newest and
most dazzling parasols have frames made
entirely of FURNISHED gold. Black gauzs
partly obscures the glory and immense
volants hang down.
A larger number of women will be in.
terested in the light surah sunshades in
silver gray and fawn, which match the
pretty outfits for country driving or walk
ing.
White lawn blouses, delicately embroid-
cred, are worn either inside or outside the
skirt. and are varied by pink, Cardinal,
gray and sky-blue cambria blouses, which
would crafty both the aesthetic sense and
the sense OF comfort more completely il
they weren't afflicted with collars of such
elevation. Roll collars, however, with
searching, may be found. For garden par
ties and for summer fetes of all descrip-
tons the lace frocks that do so abound ara
covered with ribbons. One of the most
striking is hung with fine black Chantilly
over black silk, the skirt laid off in great
| sharp-pointed diamonds by lattice work
OF narrow black velvet ribbons edged with
stripes OF white satin. A deep lace founce
! finishes the bodice, which is cut with a
low pointed corsage with interlacing rib
bons. Long ribbons knot in a rosette bow
between the shoulders at the back and
hang in streamers. Some OF the lace man
| ties are thoroughly amusing-they so
abound in sleeves. Not that any one man
tie has more than the regulation number,
but the full sleeve having the effect OF q
cape often comes with the shoulder puff
ings and its elbow bunchings TO have more
nearly the effect of a caricature.
Many of the lace capes, pure and sims
pie, with yoke and Medici collar, are airy
and graceful, but in point of length they
are, except for the woman of unusually
good figure, a trifle awkward.
Great white leghorns fill the show
windows. Their one novel feature is the
way in which twisted scarfs of null or
muslin are thrown across the top and
made TO tie up the brim. The intent is to
initiate the old-time country hat, and the
| result is often picturesquely successful.
Hats OF block drawn net are made with
very wide brims. The trimming may be
very probably a spray of deep pink roses,
smarIly tied with bows of green velvet and
proved upon-if the phrase be not offen-
siye-by an enormous dark-Winged but
terhy.
Hats in two shades of blue are frequent.
Pale blue null will have dark-blue. wing
like ruchings OF the same stuff, laid back
from the front, and upon the null wings
will lie bird wings in gray, edged with
blue.
Cornhowers are the June hobby, and
the great gauze hats that always come
| forth at this season are trimmed with pop
| pies and daisies, while ribbons of rainbow
| tints tie them up scarf-fashion. These
| gauZe hats seem meant for wear with the
| lowered muslins that fill the streets.
A pale gray wool dress was simple and
| somewhat original in pattern, with 9
woven design not unlike a double sharp
in music carried out in deeper shade OF
gray. Rosette bows of gray velvet draped
the skirt, and the bodice had pink silk
vest and wide gray velvet sleeves.
A neat little coat which fitted neat lit
tie figure was made in q pretty shade Of
| pinkish tan cloth, over white cloth in
| o~I al NTH f,o1d frroaf nxaupf-
| let cuffs and hip pockets entitled it to the
superlative of praise in the vocabulary Of
| fashion; it was ''smart-lOoking."
| A bridesmaids breakfast was one of the
weeks special festivities. 1t was served
at two or three small heart-shaped tables
with pink and white decorations. Wild
roses were the flowers and there was a
pretty story connected with their gather
ing. The bride is Washington Nights
girl and much given to boating. Under
the Palisades grow the sweetest briar
roses anywhere about the city, and 50 the
whole bridal psrty-for they are all given
| to admiration of Father Hudson-went
across the day before the breakfast and
brought home boat-loads Of pink buds foj
| the occasion.
Cream-colored foulard was one OF the
most noticeable costumes, with a large
| the right side over a box-plait of white
lace looped with rose pink ribbons. Blue
| foulard was the material of a second dress,
with design in large golden daisies. The
collar and belt were gold embroidered and
there was tooue of gold gauze with q
blue butterfly. A pale gray blue delaine
was, perhaps, to quiet taste, the most
| charming toilet seen. 1t was combined
with dark blue silk crepe most effectively.
Trousseau gowns are the gowns OF June.
A white wool skirt of light weight belongs
to an outfit now in process of completion.
A spider-web design in steel beads is en-
broidered upon it, and the open jacket is
in pale gray and black checked faille on
a steel gray ground. 1t has white faille
vest and is Topped across with knots Of
pale gray and black checked velvet. Steel
fringes, black velvet collar and steel
gray pongee chemisette, plated very full,
make striking ensemble. The gloves are
of pale gray, while the hat is in steel and
white striped straw, with white velvet
ribbons and punches of forget-me-nots.
