sky, corn, sulphur nile green and pink,
besides lilac and tan. These have white
bayadere stripes, with three fine black
lines between the white stripes. This is
very dainty. There are neat checks that
will be worn all summer, and there are
some with fulled stripes, which are un-
usually pretty. These are suitable for
summer waists and also for full suits.
One novelty in silks for summer wear
shows taffeta Of considerable hrmness
having blocks three-quarters Of an inoh
square. They are of black and white, blue
and white green, brown and even dark
yellow always with the pure white block
and these to call it-half tone block be-
tween where the threads cross. Magpie
stripes are also shown In many pieces of
new taffeta, and quito lot Of black bro
caded silk, all Of which goes to sustain the
assertion made above that black silks are
to be very fashionable this coming fall.
So those who love to keep in the very front
rank Of fashion take notice.
These silk wraps and cloaks will be long
and most often take the form Of mantles.
Some already here FOO samples show mar
row, long backs slightly shaped to the fig-
ure and loose, straight fronts. The sleeves
are what are called bell shape, and they
are loose and ample. The collars are high
and fare much like those now worn.
Beaded passementerie, thick fringe, feath-
er trimming and fur bands are all to be
put upon them. Those in dolman shape
may be embroidered In raised work, or
lace may trim them.
may mention here that black velvet In
fine quality is expected to be very popular
for all outdoor garments next fall. Dur
ing the summer the short cape will retain
all its popularity, only now there is some
thing of military aspect given to some
Of them by making them narrower and
adding few brass buttons Light silks,
velyets, cloths and often dress materials
are employed to make these short capes.
Those In light drab cloth are most often
finished wits strap trimming sewed with
raw edges and ending under smoke pearl
buttons or plain white pearl shirt buttons.
When of the latter kind, they are sewed
on in clusters Of three or more. Ruffles OF
light floating stuff are oftenest seen on
capes.
Crepon separate skirts have come to life
again, and this summer will see many ol
them worn with separate waists and fancy
belts. Some of the new belts are really
works Of art and are Of lined metal.
There are plaid silk belts and woven cadet
belts of linen besides dozens on dozens OF
varieties of leather and kid. A now fad
Is to have narrow belts covered with some
sort of cloth and with very fanoiful CLASP
and slides.
Military belts such as the cavalrymen
wear are quite novel idea, but one which
will have a great vogue Already we have
cavalry hntF and military oapes. Gauntlet
gloves are also suddenly exhibited In vast
numbers; whether simply for wheeling o.
