straw, trimmed with yellow lace ana
broad blue and green wings arranged to
give the wide effect now prevailing Fer,
haps the most remarkable costume OF al
was a pale brown crepon, made Win

about the hat to accompany 1t may hnd
hint here. -,
White leghorns, fantastic in shape, Will
be much worn as the season advances. A
new design has the right side bent down
in deep waves while the left is fantastlc-
ally caught up by rhinestone buckle,
which holds a twist of black velvet that
rms beneath the brim. Just above the
buckle is a soft Prince Of Wales tip, while
another rests on the brim. The back Is
filled in by bunch of Russian vlolets,
the stems Of which rest against the Drlm
of the hat Some of the small shapes are
still trimmed with such broad mule-ear
loops of ribbon or velvet that they OBJ
struct the view at concert or theater DIS
much as a big hat.
Black and white is again decidedly
fashionable in checks, stripes small pat

lace or net. Striped silks of this KIND
are also made the foundation for great
display of colored floral pattern. Usually
the gay designs are blurred, thus tOnlng
down the brightness of the colors used.
This blurring of colors is almost neces-
sary when strong contrasts are effected,
and such contrasts are now universally
favored. A blouse-waist will perhaps be
made of mauve silk with a design OF pink
and crimson rosebuds. One in blue. is
patterned with carnations, and an olive
satin ground is brocaded with tiny clus-
tiers of heliotrope and hedgeroses. Waists
of this character can only be worn with
skirts of black in silk or satin. Only
the best of satin should be chosen for
skirt to do duty as an accompaniment TO
various rich waists. Nothing except
like cheap satin. Choose instead fine
China silk or crepon. Either will wear
and look better than the other. Few
things look richer, however, than Lyons
satin in black.
English storm serge and French camePs
hair are fabrics largely used for making
early summer costumes, and swallow
blue with silver tints in its wool, cadet
blue and Russian blue-a very rich, beau
tiful dye-are strong rivals to the many
popular shades in green. Two handsome
contrasting colors frequently appear in
one costume, but in more instances all
combinations and trimmings are dis
pensed with, and to utility gowns plain
stylish effect is given by the use of fiat
milliners' folds or straight rows of Milan
or Soutache braid.
Some of the new corsages are Of the
round-waisted Recamier variety, the
sleeves one immense puff from shoulder
to elbow. From the elbow falls a very
deep lace frill, that reaches nearly to
and sleeve e, IS Certainly very unbe be
to short, stout figures, but this fact has
not prevented very many fashionable
women of this type from choosing these
very fancies for their summer gowns.
