vailing taste towards trimmed skirt'
without changing the becoming sim
plicity Of lines, which has so long char
acterized the skirt, and which mos
women are 10th to give up IN spite Of
Fashions DEGREES. Our model Is made
Of pale blue nuns yelling over lining
Of blue tafTeta, and is particularly well
adapted for warm weather wear. The
only decoration on the plain close mt
ting skirt is seven rows Of pipings OF
white satin which run higher towards
the back than in front The fullness
Of the blouse is attached to the silk
lining at the chest and is gathered at
the waist by a folded belt Of white
satin rosette. A wide band OF white
Venetian point lace passes around the
bodice. forming an airy Jacket. The
large cape-like collar of the same ex-
Quisite lace is fastened TO neck0and
OF folded white satin and hounce Of real
lace. The sleeve is quite plain and ex-
tends into a slashed iaring cum. A
pun consisting Of several bias folds OF
blue nuns yelling gives the required
fullness at the shoulder.
Gorgeous and glaring color combina-
lions had become so popular during
'the early spring that the true elegante
2 adually turned from them and affect
ed simplicity and softness in form ana
color. Thus the calling and promen-
ade costume in particular assumes
light greys and beige color and black
and white, and even light summer
goods show the tendency to dampen
color effects.
Among wollen stuffs cashmere and
nuns yelling fill all requirements Of
fashion and among silk fabrics grey or
tan colOred pOplin and bengaline
make beautiful costumes as they com
bine daintinesS of color with that soft
draDing quality which the CostumerS
delight in making up. A visiting
gown Of light silver grey bengaline

Tustling stiff taffeta hitherto en-
ged. The seams OF the front gore

Re. At first they were

Elites Of the grey and white
Of the bird of paradise.
Nv flats make a most becOm-
gear, but it requires the defJ
an experienced milliner TO en-
Re necessary bends and curves
chic and artistic grace.
'SA prediction for black gowns is no
ticeable, but concessions are made,
however. in the shape of a contrasting
trimming. bright buttons or other or
naments. Thus a gown of black cash
mere YelOute has the clOse-ftting skirt
trimmed with two rows of black satin
milliner's folds. which run horizontally
across the back and over the hips TO
the seams Of the front gore where they
descend in two straight lines on either
side and finish several inches above the
hem by small loops held by small
black satin-COyered buttons The black
cashmere iodine has the form Of
Russian blouse, and is also edged with
two rows Of black satin milliner'S folds
at the wide opening over vest and
shirred yoke of lavender satin yelled
with silver spangled and embroidered
white net. Lavender and black satin
plaitings form the neck ruChe over the
high folded collar of lavender satin
and spangled net. The sleeve of cash
mere is quite tight and capped with
full fOunce of cashmere yelOute edged
with black satin milliner's folds and
lined with black satin. The wrists are
trimmed like the collar with lavender
and black satin plating
Plaids will be very stylish for early
fall custOmes and the bOlerO continues
to hold its own. This last named little
Jacket will look very stylish when made
of plain cOlored goods to be worn with
the plaid skirt. A model has a plain
skirt Of serge with large diagonal
plaid pattern in which dark blue and
green predominant, and a small dark
blue serge bOlerO. richly braided with
blue soutache and lined with dark blue
satin to be worn over a blouse Of blue
and green changeable taffeta.
White pique bOlerOs with revereS of
white guipure. and white pique vests
with chemisette and jabOt of real lace
at the white ribbon collar are greatly
worn with dark skirts as they make
serviceable toiletteS for the fashionable /
promenade during the dog days. The |
hat must necessarily al |

The fortunate pOsSesSOrS of feather |

be reased TO hear that these beautiful |
T., -licate toilette accessories will |
ia place of cOllaretteS or Capes for |
eleeg visiting or evening wear.
