this fall If one may judge by the ad-
vance ideas from abroad. In Paris they
are always ready to jump at anything
that looks pretty and piquant, but in
sober, staid and more conservative Ger
many 1t is quite the other way. They
are slower to adopt a style and slower
to give 1t up if 1t seems a good one,
and the Zouave and figaro are seen in
Berlin now as often as in Paris, and
the prettiest Of our fashion designs and
the most feasible and artistic ones come
from Berlin. All this is to prove that
these dressy and coquettish little jack
cts will be worn generally There is
no set style or shape, only that the
figaro has rounded corners and the zou-
ave has round or pointed as one likes.
Some are made entirely without collars
and others have deep collars and often
revers. That is a matter Of taste. One
very taking short zouave was Of rich
brocaded silk in soft rush green and
cream in color. 1t was square in front
| and reached but half way from the arm
size to the belt There was a slashed
collar, which formed wide revers in
front, made Of rich black silk with a
narrow but rich lace application. This
made a jacket suitable for any gown
Another was Of salmon colored peau
de sole and was very open in front
The jacket was cut with quite deep
points and hung out loosely from the
figure. There was a wide, pointed re-
vers collar. The collar and jacket both
had bands of black lace insertion laid
over grass green ribbon. This was orig
inally designed to wear over a lilac
taffeta gown, but would be equally pref
ty over almost anything. Some call
these jackets boleros. 1t makes little
| difference what they are called, since

| While jackets are popular, there are

| their way more fit and suitable. The
| loose blouse and French waists are ex-
| ceedingly becoming. 1 happened in a
place where a family party were being
| fitted with outing costumes. One very
dainty and suitable dress for a slender
| ledy was Of silvery gray siciliene. The
| skirt was plainly gored, but gathered
! in the back. The sleeves had quite
full puffs to the elbows, and from there
they were tight and piped at the wrists.
The waist was cut out in deep V shape,
F, both back and front, over a guimpe of
white lace laid over pale green taffeta.

styles.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-I have just
come from a place where 1 saw a new
model hat, with flowers upon it stand
ing just twelve inches above the crown
The crown was sugar loaf peak with
a. narrow turn up brim. These flowers
were velvet clover blossoms and leaves
In their purple beauty. The hat was
between red and purple, and there was
drapery of light purple velvet around
the crown, held in bye smaller tufts of
clover.
Another model hat was of dark pur-
pie felt the brim fat and round. The
edge was crimped all the way around.
The crown was fiat, but all around that
there was an outstanding plating of
purple and black striped taffeta. In
the front there was a twisted bow Of
shell pink velvet, and on the left side
there was bunch of eglantine roses in
velvet, the shadings of the leaves being
exquisite This bunch stood over a
foot above the brim. Mingled with the
plating were small sprays of the roses
and leaves. 1t is a new departure to
take spring flowers to decorate fall
hats. The sugar loaf shape is as ugly
thing in itself as can be imagined.
The brim curls up closely, and the hat
must necessarily rest upon the back
of the head.
There was another one, also in dark
red crimped felt. In the front and on
each side was a little silk pompon In
the same shade. On the right side OF
the front was an immense bow OF
maize satin duchesse Three loops
eight inches high stood up and two
five inches high stood out There was
a narrow roll of the satin all around
and plating fastened in the center
In form of a bow. This was all the
trimming, but, dear knows, it was
enough.
The model hats, as a rule, are re-
91arkable for their height and brilliant
Solors. The mob cap shape seems to
OBTAIN among these new importations
The models are brought over thus
early, and are copied with and without
variations to be ready for the Septem-
Der openings. The hats of history have
been despoiled of their prettiest fancies
and will soon fill the show windows.
L asked the importer what he
thought the prevailing styles would be
and he replied that no one could tel
with certainty, but he thought large
and picturesque hats of velvet. with
many feathers, would take the lead
The soft beaver felt, with wide and
flexible brims, will be seen, topped with
many plumes. These will follow the
Gainsborough and cavalier styles, and
Will be in black, white and brown. Sc
far those are all the colors produced
Besides them the English walking hat
IN felt, beaver and silk beaver will be
a stylish and doubtless popular hat
1t is a becoming shape for elderly OF
middle-aged ladies as well as for young
faces, which will add to it's popularity
He said that contrary to all former
modes these walking hats will be quite
elaborately trimmed. Ostrich plumes
will be the feathers of the season, with
few quills and few marabout
plumes for evening wear. The aigret
will be there, too, to raise it's delicate
hbers above the rest of the trimming
to give 1t lightness and grace. Taffets

not mean cutting up bananas fresh from tho

In the heated air at the same place, tossing
them together, deluging with vino or liauof
clapping them on Ice for fifteen minutes and
then serving as a salad. The fruit should
be thoroughly chilled by being kept long
time in the icebox. The spirits Should be
used sparingly to bring out the flavor OF the
fruit rather than dominate it. At this mo-
ment the markets present a tempting array
Of fruits that combine well into salads. One
