NEW SUMNER STYLES.
Some seaaonabIe Suggestions for the
Women Who Would Be
Well Dressed.

Pique suits grow more and more elab-
crate. Velvet was considered an ex-
travagance in trimming at first, but now
both of good black lace in bands and
edgings are wound around the skirts in
an exquisite recklessness and handsome
effect.
At present the world of fashion pivots
around shrine of checks and plaids,
but buyers samples for the fall impor-
tations show decided return of ombre
effects and many stripes. Satin striped
effects Stimulating raised cords are also
promised for tatfetas, and thus the ap-
pearance of great weight and richness
is possible with medium-priced quail
ties.
Another stylish silk blouse is Of pale
turquoise and white Picking stripe, hav-
ing a narrow, deep round yoke in front,
closely tucked. The blouse fronts over
lap, and are disposed in deep cluster
of tucks all around the circular opening
for the yokes. Upon the right breast,
rather near the shoulder, is full jabot
of fine cream lace, u larger and similar
knot concealing the closing at the left,
and continuing in lacy ripple to the
belt.
A very simple, yet attractive silk
blouse is in heavy taffeta, rose pink
and silver gray. The deep square yoke,
cross-tucLed, Is of the former, edged all
around by three-inch knife plating,
which has half-inch velvet band at the
outside. Where the plating and yoke
are Joined in a double ruche of frayed
pink and gray the close sleeve is capped
by a deep knife-plaited frill edged in
velvet, and a pink and gray folded Cir
die closes beneath full rosette of pink
at the left side.
Field flowers are great favorites for
large hats. A single hat had for its Or
namentation full soft fold Of maize
colored surah laid low upon the brim
and appearing here and there amidst
the tangle of oats, wheat, huge red pop
pies, corn flowers, daisies and even a
tuft of purple horse mint, whose gor-
geous beauty drove quite to the outer
edge of the brim frail little wreath of
sparse forget-me-nots. Describing this
vogary of head covering is like night
mare, but in reality they are quite
pretty, and upon youthful wearers are
in good taste with pique or simple Or
candle gowns.
How long shall it be before it is de-
clared unpatriotic to wear anything
whose name or fashionings is Spanish
Then away with Spanish fiounces, Span
ish girdles and the black Spanish lace
bertha fchu just now obtaining favor,
but until then fashion by peculiar and
daring perversity is particularly favor
ing these three modes above all others.
The name may change, some enterpris-
ing modiste may bring fame upon her
self by terming them Cuban, or Colum-
bian, but their fashioning will remain
the same
In wash fabrics, which are now alb
sorbing us more than stuffs and silks,
the skirt founces are usually gathered
straight around the bottom of the skirt
to a depth of from IS to 20 inches, or
even less for short women. This ruftie
is joined on with heading, under a
fancy ruche of the goods, or beneath a
cluster or single band of ribbon or
velvet, the latter appearing in surpris-
ing quantities upon dresses which are
supposed to be launderable, but which
in reality will never form part of my
lady's wardrobe after an ignominious
visit to the laundry.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
