of the surplice, one side passes under
and stops while the other continues
down to the side, where falling on the
skirt it runs round to the middle of
the back, where it meets the lace
descended from the shoulders. and is
formed into a bow. One side thus has

Gowns for street wear of fine checked
black and white surah of wool are
trimmed with rows of narrow black
velvet ribbon in graduated widths. or
with rows of narrow black silk braid
alternated with white or silver braid.
The figaro Jacket is a good model for
these. 1t is cut short, so as to display
a wide black satin belt, and the blouse
is seen only in front very success
full dress of this sort has blouse of
almond green. A plating of the green
falls below the belt in front and back.
and another plating stands high above
the neck band behind
TAFFETA JACKETS.
The cape that so lately was the prin-
cipal feature of out-of-door style has
quite passed it's heyday and taken
refuge IN the. stores that revel in a
garment only when it can be bought of
the wholesaler at a discount. This is
to put it rather strongly. Capes linger
| A new style has arisen, and it calls
not for a big wheel effect round the
shoulders but for sleeves The sleeve
may be as big as 4 bishops, but 1t is
something closed at the wrist, that
once more brings the hand into view
| This is a word to those that think for
| autumn in advance.
Some Of the taffeta. jackets made
for summer are exquisite. The taffeta

and ruffies as though it were muslin,
and has its edges picked out with the
inevitable bindings of velvet. One de-
sign has a deep yoke of fine tucks run
ming UP and down, ending in a ruffle
bound with velvet. From under the
ruffle falls the lower part, all slashed
! al intervals of four inches and the
piece turned under and the ends fas-
| tened to the yoke. so as to form a
series of long loops reaching just be-
| low the waist and falling quite loose.
All the loops are bound on each side
with velvet RIBBON. The full sleeve is
! closed at the wrist by fine tucks, leav-
ing a rufle round the hand, and the
neck is finished with a high ruffie
bound with velvet. This is carried out
in black or a color. Black taffeta Jack
cts are much worn. Another Jacket
carried out in green taffeta has a yoke

silk, plated in the middle of the back
for fullness and merely hemmed, falls

are very far from the time, only three
years ago, when NJ. Worth, to my CUES

| make fitted jackets when they were so
ugly, could reply: Because the women
want to show their FORMS This ex-
PLANTATION never seemed to me satisfac-
tory. The new fashion that obliterates

and nevertheless the nature of women
has not changed.
BATHING COSTUME.
The French bathing dress remains in
form what it has been for a number of
years, a. combination blouse and draw
ers, widening from the armholes out in
descent to give great width below, so
that laid fat it describes nearly an
equilateral triangle. There is draw
ing string at the waist line, with suf-
ficient stay 80 hold the skirt, that is
buttoned on. The knickerbocker effect
is preferred at The knees, but is not
used exclusively. The skirt stops above
the knee. The neck is cut out round
or square. Almost the only variety
possible is in the blouse trimming and
the form of the sleeves, which receive
some notifications from whatever
fashion prevails. a new model that has
as much effect of novelty as is permit
ted. is of black serge with plastron and
sailor collar of white. Two clusters of
black braid run round the skirt, one
near the edge and one near the belt.
A cluster runs round the blouse below
the arnhole, and another on the front
