PARIS. June 20-The season Is now
come when out-of-doors is $50 inviting
that no woman possessed OF an outing
suit can stay away. The most beau-
Iful gowns have been planned this year
for sports Of au kinds and it really rec
ouires a trunkfm OF them 20 carry one
through July and August.
Although Paris leads in outing. as wei
as in fine gowns. stil 30 must Doe noticed
that the m0distes have brought forward
ttle that is distinctive. The difference
and the changes occur in the cut of the
skirt and sleeves and the mode 0f trim
ming. But even these are not so different
but that last seasons outing dresses
could be adapted.
For cOlnng there IS o note OF red which
contrasts prettily with the green OF the
grass and the brown OF the shruobery. a
most attractive Paris golf dress was worn
recently az tho championship games in
England-won by Miss Hezet-by d very
young American girl. It was ot white
p.que. with skirt and jacket of the pique.
A small embroidered dot red was scat
tered over the entire material.
The vest was Of scarlet spique cut low
necked IL had revers OF red 70 match.
The vest instead OF being a sham affair,
was complete and the coat could be taken
on
With this was worn a very stiff white
shirt with tie 20 match.
AMERICAN MODES COPIED.
They are beginning 20 wear the Amer
team shirt-waist IN Paris and this year
one sees them advertised. The Paris
shirt-waists OF previous season were ruff

shrt-waist intended for the tennis
court was OF tan pongee. with many little
tucks forming a yoke. The 'front.' had a
vest four inches wide OF the rucking 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 extending
high upon the skirt In an apparently
aimless way The braid was also car
ried around the foot or the skirt.
Braid designs are advertised and for
. small sum the woman who wants 10 do
her own braiding can purchase design
printed upon paper. or can get her ma
terill stamped.
Belts grow narrower as the season ad-
vances and there is a reaction against the
ribbon belt specially for outing dresses.
The belt that IS most fashionable IS tho
glazed leather, which can be obtained IN
back. white. blue. red. and indeed in
nearly all colors. The narrowest belts
are worn some OF them being only an
inch wide-many less. The buckles are
also small. so that the belt is conspicu-

praise for the American tourist, for the
American resident and for American
fashions. II seems quite strange 20 see
the American shirt-waist advertised and.
