Paris, June 20.-The season is now
come when out-of-doors is SO inviting
that no woman possessed of an outing
suit can stay within. The most beautiful
gowns have been planned this year for
sports of all kinds and it really requires
a trunkful of them to carry one through
July and August.
Although Paris leads In outing, as we'll
as in fine gowns. still it must be noticed
that the modistes have brought forward
little that is distinctive. The differ
ence and the changes occur in the cut of
the skirt and sleeves and the mode of
trimming. But even these are not so diff
ferent but that last years outing
dresses could be adapted.
For golfing there is a note of red which!
contrasts prettily with the green of the
grass and the brown of the s~hrubbery.
A most attractive Paris golf dress was
worn recently at the championship games
in ~England-won by Miss Hezlet-by a
very young American girl. It was of white
pique, with skirt and Jacket of the pique.
A small embroidered dot of red was scat
tered over the entire material.
The vest was Of scarlet pique cut low
necked: 1t had revers of red to match.
The vest, instead of being a sham affair,
was complete, and the coat could be TAX
EN- off.
With this was worn a very stiff white
shirt with tie to match.
AMERICAN MODES COPIED.
They are beginning to wear the Ameri-
can shirt waist in Paris, and this year
one sees them advertised. The Paris shirt
waists of previous seasons were ruffled
and made very fanciful with Gibbons. But
now that the attention of the French
modistes has been called to the grace
of the shirt waist Americaine, something
very pretty can be expected in that line.
A shirt waist intended for the ennis
court was of tan pongee, with many little
tucks forming a yoke. The front had a
vest o u inches wide of the tucking set
in the waist so as to form a trimming.
The skirt was of tan pongee trimmed
with very narrow brown braid put on in
big circles around the foot and EXTEND
Ing high upon the skirt in an apparently
aimless way. This braid was also car
ried around the foot of the skirt.
BRAID designs" are advertised and for
a small sum the woman who wants to do
her W braiding can purchase a design
printed upon paper; or can get her ma
teria1 stamped.
Belts grow narrower as the season ad-
vances and there is a reaction against the
ribbon belt, especially for outing dresses.
The belt that is most fashionable is the
glazed leather, which can be obtained in
black, white, blue, red, and, indeed, in
nearly all cOlOrS. Ihe narfOWeSt belts are
worn, some of them being only an inch
wide-many less. The buckles are also
small, so that the belt is conspicuous for
Its narrOwness and for the finish it gives
the dress, rather than for ornament.
The reaction toward things American
is very pronounced in France. France,
from being Indifferent a year AGO., has
become devoted One hears everywhere
praise for the American tourist, for the
American resident and for American
fashions. It seems quite strange to see
the American shirt waist advertised and,
alongside it, the American cravat. The
four-in-hand has invaded Paris and you
can actually buy an Ascot, which is an
English tie, or an American cravat and a
four-in-hand
The rather broad white ribbon is much
seen with outing shirt waists. 1t is car
ried twice around the neck and termin-
ates in a big, loose knot, with ends in
front. All colors are worn and to keep
the ribbon high and stiff around the
throat there come foundations of crino-
line n other stiff materials.
STUNNING YACHTING GOWNS.
The tennis and the golf dresses are
