FASHION NOTES.

A new combination is pale olive green
with dark olive.
Yellow and black in millinery is very
fashionable for small tots.
Heavy Biarritz gloves are proper and
uncomfortable for outing.
The hat of the hour has lace straw
brin and a chiffon crown.
To wear at the seashore you want a
thin, silver-grey homespun, heckcd with
white.
The linen collar is now very wide
and has narrow turned-over edge all
around.
Muslins, challis and an occasional
China silk should robe the sweet bud Of
eighteen.
The large hairpins with jeweled tops
come in many beautiful designs and are
still very popular.
Sealing wax of ivory white is the
delight of the women who have time
enough to give it their careful atteu-
ton.
The new chatelaine for fans consists
of a long chain which is allowed to fall
about the waist, clasp holding in place
the fan.
GRAY is without doubt leading shade
this season. Silvery, pinkish, creamy
dccp and pale, tones and seml-tones-
they are all la mode.
If you put a collar, girdle and cuffs OF
black velvet to your light gingham gown
have them easily detachable and not
heavy enough to be hot looking.
The trailing street dress, let it be said
very plainly, is worn in Paris by tourists
only. The Partisan has shortened her
skirts to length that is comfortable.
The shirred null hat should be white,
pink or blue. If it is trimmed with fluffy
roscttes of the null, when it wits IN a
foe or sea turn it and it will do SO with
the more uniformity.
Silk gloves matching gowns, hose and
shoes in color are the latest caprice for
evening as we'll as day wear, and are
imported in all the delicate tints. Black
silk gloves are stitched with color for
day wear.
Among the fashion rcvivals for the
season in Paris is the ogt-of-door wear
ing of natural flowers by ladies, either
in the form OF button-holes or sprays.
The ultra chic posy is formed OF few
flowers carclcssly pinned on the dress or
jacket.
Black skirts are worn with colored
waists, and black waists with colored
skirts; black silk shirt waists are always
effective. An innovation in outing gowns,
and one not to be commended unre-
servedly, is the use of elk foundation
skirts.
An odd example of the millinery of
the moment is an exact imitation of the
web of spider, woven in the finest
threads of straw. 1t is trimmed on the
crown with morning glories shading from
pink to purple. Beneath the brIm is a
pink velvet baudcau..
An attractive 6nger-ring consists of an
overlapping shank of gold, the ends of
which are set with five small diamonds
in row, the gem on one end being
large white pearl, while on the other is
large pink one; the effect is that of q
diamond hoop mounted with two pearls.
Gradually the arrangement of the hair
is higher on the head, with the idea of
giving a narrower appearance to the head
than was possible by the recent arrange
ments of braids on the back of the head
Tois effect is also intensified by the brush
ing back of the hsir from the temples
and wearing one curlcd lock in the center
of the forehead.
Pale creamy yellow Spanish lace, out
lined in its rich designs with threads of
gold, forms distinctiyeiy elegant toilet
for summer evening full-d wear. The
lace is made up over sheath princesse
dress of Cleopatra yellow watered silk.
with half low bodice and short sleeves
of the same silk. The lace sleeves are
in bishop fashion, with stylish cuffs of
the lace over the MORE fabric.
