FEMININE FASHIONS
Items OF Dress FOR the summer scn-
son - Materials aud
trimmings.


The gray gowns this year are ex-
tremely dainty and handsome, and they
appear in every sort Of material, from
linen, pique, batiste, nuns yelling, and
cashmere, on through the array Of at
tractive dress fabrics TO crisp stand
alone taffeta, satin foulard, crepe dc
chine, moire. faille and summer bro
cade.
Less Of the opaque white fabrics are
shown among the seasons patterned
transparents than those in cream,
canary, and Spanish yellow, willow
green, ciel blue, resoda, rose, and violet
IN exquisite tntings. In makng up
these textiles the greater portion show
an airy overdress, loose from its goreu
underskrt, but united at the top, one
belt holding both skirts. kess dia-
phanous looking toilets for rather
stout women show the outside skirt
sewed in with each gored breadth Of the
underskirt. The very popular frills and
flounces must likewise be eschewed
and the narrow ruche substituted; fer
none but tau, slender women look well
NJ friHed skirts.
Tho navy and army blue serges,
fouklrds, mohairs and lightweight
costume cloths ore made into stylish
tailor-costumes for travelling and gen
eraI wear, that hold their own against
81 the endless smart and novel gowns
wiich the present season has produced. &.
Tho new Dresden" ctallies are
manufactured ia Lyons, and they show
many of tha very attractive designs
popular in the Sil ~ and small-patterned
sarins Of last winter. These goods are
a. denoate m effect as the sheer Indta
WOODS. aud they ma&e dainty and sum
mer-like gowuA which oan ba worn on
cool days and evenings during the en-
tire seeeou. The American chdheS azs
exceptionally pretty IN design tlas
summer, but the quality, though good,
can in no way compare with the French
goods.
1t seerls quite likely that the new
retrousse hats, turniug ebruptly OF
the sace, win be very strong rivals this
season " those worn very Mr forW&d7
