New York Fashions

d TO this time we have had a great
deal of cUIOr in our gowns and cOmbina-
to gay for street wear. Violet and red has
perhaps been the most odd combination,
while blue and green, ceTiSe and purple,
black and gold, have attracted their own
share of notice. Now that the weather
has settled and has become permanently
warm. such combinations these are al
most entirely abandoned and dove gray nd
yellow, slate gray and pale pink, blue and
white lavender and corn color hold sway
in the soft materials for extremely warm
weather. large variety of shades in
green are worn. sometimes two or three
shades in one gown, and often one shade
combined with cream. white or linen.
Almost all of thin batisteS. dImities.
lawns, swiss and linens are made over col
ored slips and trimmed with ribbons, the
same color as the slip or "A contrasting
shade. As silk is rather expensive for
these summer gowns, the stores are show
ing large variety of lawns in solid colorS,
which make a cool and durable lining.
Some skirts have the outside materials cut
away to make curvey or pointed yoke eff
fectS, leaving the plain lining for the yoke.
This is Obten outlined with band of lace,
insertion, or two inch wide ribbon gather
ed in the center To make double ruffle.
The skirts are trimmed around the bot
tom quite a little. Three and four narrow
ruifies, either double single, with lace
at both edges. make pretty finish for
thin dresses. The travelling gowns are
sometimes trimmed with bias bands of the
goods. Some of these are graduated, the
narrow ones being near the top, while
others use inch wide bands altogether.
