Paris, July 6.-Since the rage for things
American has started here the color blue
has been most fashionable . And outing
dresses, specially, show every shade of
blue conceivable.
1t takes an expert to distinguish the
different shades Of blue. and an artist to
ombine them properly, but when sue
cessful the gowns that are produced in
these colors are quite the slnartest things
OF the summer.
To give some idea of the different blues
q few may be mentioned. There is the
popular royal blue, which is a brighter
shade than navy. Then navy blue is al
ways worn, more or less, and is liked
for its inconspicuous and durable quail
ties. A navy blue skirt is as useful as a
black one.
Worcester blue is lighter than royal,
but not so vivid. You could at once dis
tinguish the two %colors, having been
shown them once.
Prussian blue is quite gray, something
like cadet blue, which is still grayer.
Musketeer is on the same color as these
blues, but is duller and more faded. 1t
is charming when combined with military
n Turkey reds. There is a new color,
the bloodiest red, which is christened
Dreyfus red; it is deeper than cherry and
brighter than cardinal. almost a ver-
million. This is used to trim the gray
blues.
OF the blue shades that are not dis
tinctly military are ducks egg blue,
which is quite a baby blue, and robins
egg. which is deeper. Bluette is still
fashionable Worn with violets and blue
flowers. for bluette has a touch of purple
in it. Then there is pastel blue, which
is much more familiar in shade. The
old-fashioned blue is called pastel this
year. and has been revived into popular
1ty. Gaslielit is the evening shade, and
thprp q rs n IF q 6hZpn NJ ca nthnYr shades
of blue. for blue is the color of the sea-
son for blonde and brunette.
SMART YACHTING GOWNS.
Yachting dresses are extremely smart
They show the Elton and the bolero,
which will not down. In vain an attempt
was made to introduce the REFER and
the sacque back, but without more than
a month' success. The shorter Jackets
are so much more becoming they are to
the figure!
Brown linen is used for the sea. a little
boating costume of this goods being par
ticularly smart. 1t was made for the
Thames and was fashioned for a pretty
English girl, one of the Wilson sisters
Joan and enid.
1t had a skirt of the brown liner
trimmed in a large pointed design with
the narowest braid of bright scarlet
The skirt, which is said to be growing
fuller, was buttoned on the side.
The bodice was made with blouse an(
vest, underneath which a chemisette was
Worn. The most noticeable feature OF
the blouse was a rolling front trimmed
with braid, which turned back to disclose
a tiny shirred vest of white silk.
The sailor collar was of scarlet liner
edged with brown, and the cuffs Were OF
the same material. A belt of scarlct
leather with oxidized buckle was worn
with he blouse.

He strolled into a d~raper's-where there
We're %shopgirls to right of him, shopgirls

wearing an anxious look, whether the re-
suit of his surroundings, or Of some in

Il want a pair of gloves" he announced
in determined tones, as though defying
this particular girl to contradict him,
dark brown ones, with heavy lines on
the back and with three clasps" Then
he seated himself ~triumphantly and
awaited events.
'The very thing" he muttered, as he
picked up a pair of those shown him,
and examined them critically. I'm take
these"
After he had left the shop a general
giggle wen the rounds of the girls be-
hind the counter.

THE FEATHER BRUSH HOLDER.

A useful little article for some out-of-
the-way corner is the feather brush hold
err. For the tiny brush used in busting
bric-a-brac, etc, the best holder is made
from one of those waxen-headed dolls to
be had at the Japanese exhibits. The
round head of this foreign individual is
pierced at the top, making a hole large
enough to admit of the handle of the
brush passing through.
The doll should be fitted out in a robe
of some japanese material-silk or paper
and should have a loop of ribbon sutfi-
GENTLY long to admit of hanging from the
wall. A few curious buttons or old cop
per baubles. if sewed to this gown, and to
effect.

Gowns To Be Worn Oh The Water
BEAUTIFUL YACHTING DRESSES IN ALL THE MANY NEW SHADES OF
BLUE AND RED-MILITARY COIORS PREDOMINANT.

Several observations may be made
upon the yachting girl.
She has lost her simplicity with her
much trimmed skirt and her fashionable
Elton jacket.
Her hair is brushed back as closely as
can be, the waves having largely gone
out Of style.
She wears a little coat or wrap over
her shirt waist.
Her buttons are nautical ones, all diff
ferent; for she is a button pirate.
Her blouse waist is capable of being
slipped off; for it is worn over a plain
silk waist.
The manly little necktie has taken the
place of the stock or the silk bow.
The sweater is out of style for the
yachting girl.
She wears dresses of heavy wash ma
terials.
LINEN CHECKS.
The linen checks are very fashionable.
They look like cloth, but are really Of
linen. They come in all colors. but are
most fashionable in blue and white. They
have a visible thread like woven cotton
goods and are quite heavy.
A light dress of wool was of blue and
brown check. The skirt was trimmed
with a pointed design in blue cloth, on
each side of which We're the tiniest pearl
buttons, which glistened in the sun like
jewels.
With this skirt there came three shirts.
of brown, blue and white respectively,
of wash silk. A tiny bolero of the
checked goods was worn over the shOul-
ders. 1t was trimmed with a design in
blue to match the skirt and a strap of the
same material held it in front.
A very military little suit was worn
by a young girl. 1t was in royal blue and
white. with stitchings of red. The skirt,
which was of white yachting cloth, was
bordered with a band of Russian blue,
put on in such a way that it was very
narrow in front and very deep in the
back.
The jacket was of the blue cloth, bright
and pretty. Its reVers were of white
cloth, stitched along the edge with red
silk. The skirt was stitched with red.
Small pearl buttons trimmed the jacket
and the skirt.
There are many new materials in light
weight wool that show a thread in red
or blue silk. These are the seasons nov
elites and are very fashionable.
DESIGNS FOR NEWPORTERs.
The favorite costume for yachting at
Newport this year, if n may judge by
| the gowns that have been sent over to
| the fashionable set, will be in red, white
and blue. Several gowns of plain white
duck have had bands of blue put on in
fancy design around the skirt. With the
gown the couturiere has sent word tina
a red hat should be worn and that the
necktie and. all the small appointments
should be red.

effectively with the white sand of the sea-
short, is developed in white English serge
trimmed with bands of sea green brill
liantine. The skirt drops evenly with the
knee line and is faced with sea green
wash silk.
The waist is cut on plain lines with a
square neck finished with bands of green
silk. The sleeves are very short puffs
n are unconfined, many being of the
opinion that bands around the arms, even
though loose, prevent an absolutely free
movement.

ALCOHOL FOR AUTOMOBILES.

The majority Of motor cars are now
driVen by petroleum., but a French en-
glneer recommends the use of wood alco-
hol instead of it, and motors are being
altered so as to consume it. There is no
fear of explosion with alcohol, and it is
said to be less costly than petroleum..
We might, therefore,, paraphrase the ma
tional poet and say. Put it in your cars
to save your legs

this design is intended for use as a pat
tern for r%emodeling old gowns.
Soft trimmings such as chiffon, null,
mousseline de sole and tulle are used, be-
cause they are more effective and more
dressy.
That the princess should fit faultlessly
goes without saying. Better. too, that it
should fasten Upon the side. A vest of
embroidered chiffon is then placed upon
the front, finished upon either side with
bands of fancy silk braid. Tiny ruffles
of chiffon ruching put on in zouave effect
add much to the beauty of the toilette.
Graduated frills of accordion plated
chiffon decorate the skirt. commencing at
the waistline and rounding away at the
knees in overskirt design.
The neck is finished with a stock Of
crushed chiffon and frills of the same
