Paris, May 24,-New models for sum-
mer gowns keep pouring in. AS early
as February the shops had on hand
their goodly stock of summer gowns.
Right away they began making their
especial order trosseauX, especially
those that were to be carried back TO
America in time to escape the Dingley
tariff.
A couturiere here knows so well
months ahead what the forthcoming
styles will be that she often makes in
January or February gowns that are to
be worn in August or September.
One can, depend on it, too, that they
will be absolutely up TO date.
l have just seen eleven new gowns
that have been made for pretty young
American woman who expects TO spend
the summer at Narragansett Pier. Sew
en- of them are cotton gowns, dainty
lawns, trimed profusely with ribbon,
silk ginghams and piques.
SUMMER RESORT DRESSING.
1t is quite a trick here TO purchase
your gowns on this side and wear them.
You do not wear them out, by any
means, but you are seen in them fire.
quently enough to get very good para
graph in the society column as "a we'll
dressed American"
Many of these pier" gowns were
pretty enough TO be copied in inexpen-
sive materials without losing their
beauty.
| saw two American girls, one OF
them the young woman with eleven
new gowns, disporting at little coun-.
try place in the suburbs OF Paris, IN
gowns that were inexpensive, but very
chic.
one wore cream challie skirt (price
at home II cents per Yard with large
crimson roses nesting in their green
leaves. The vest of the gown was GRIM
son taffeta with sleeves and bolero OF
plain cream challie, over which set
collar of home embroidered muslin.
SIMPLE GOWNS.
The other wore white pique dress
with a band of batiste around the 1901.
The waist was of the batiste with the
skirt trimmed upon the hips TO form
basque. There were revers and epau-
lettes of book linen, and tiny panels OF
embroidered linen upon the skirt.
With these were two other young
women, also ineXpensively gowned. one
wore a green Bingham, with tiny blue
silk thread running through 1t. A Dig
double ruffle of plaid set over the
shoulders. A tall, pointed stock Oh

Both young women wore hats OF
cream straw, trimmed with ribbon ana
flowers. The second girls gown was OF
figured null over plain taffeta, of the
twenty-cent weight. There was no ef-
fort at show, the object being pretty
and cheap gown for summer wear. she
wore a wrap of pale green striped Da-
tiste. edged with silk embroidery, and
with long taffeta streamers In the 'front.'
The wrap was bordered with RUNE
of white embroidered muslin.
SLEEVES TO BE SMALLER.
The piques and cloth gowns, which
are TO be worn in the early fall, nave
sleeves that are long and tight-htting
fulled very slightly at the arm-hole.
The collars are high and without trim
ming. and all of the skirts are trimmed
deliberately. But, of course, this is an
t!cipating matters. The light gowns
we first catch a glimpse of are hardly
as unusual as that We are coming TO
tight sleeves and severe neck effects
by degrees.
| saw such a pretty, girlish gown OF
pioue trimmed with bright shade OF
bluette.
The skirt was a godet, Father moder-
ate in width, with the fulness OF all car
ried TO the back. 1t was trimmed with
narrow bluette braid Three rows of
the braid followed the seams OF the
front gore to within six inches of the
waist band. There the braid was
turned in sharp corners and continued
around the skirt. Below this was an
other trimming of braid.
The jacket was bolero OF the plque
over a vest of bluette linen. 1t fas-
tened at the bust with a large white
pearl button. There was broad, round
collar and lapels Of pique, edged with
three bands of the braid, that followed
the edge of the jacket. The sleeves
