Plain and figured black satins and striped,
plain and polka-dotted taffetas will be in
marked vogue the coming season.
Pale yellow muslins trimmed more CT
less deliberately with black or white lace
are very much in evidence at all the sum
mer resorts. These are usually accompanied
by large black hats trimmed with black
turle, sable plumes and yellow roses.
1t is already evident that the fashion for
fancy waists will not vanish with the sum
mer season. On the contrary, besides the
shirt waists OF dark-colored satin foulard,
liberty silk, plain and fancy t%affeta, etc,
there will be a great many varieties exceed
ingly pretty in style.
Veloutine, like peau de sole, is a silk that
grows constantly in favor. 1t is as soft
as sicilienne or undressed faille, only oil
frmer texture, with a glossy surface. The
plain, unpatterned weaves are very hand
m and others equally attractive are
striped, showing lovely contrasts of color.
The new royal, marine, Neapolitan and
silver blues in cloth and lighter weight
woods, for costumes, princesse dresses, red
ingotes and Jackets. Will present such
tempting shades this autumn that they
will find purchasers without number. The
rich. beautiful marine and Neapolitan dyes
are becoming to women of every type.
At a dance at Newport Casino Mrs. John
r. DreXel wore a gown of black lace and jet
over light sapphire blue silk. A band of
turquoise and diamonds was brought across
her left shoulder and almost met by a large
diamond sunburst which was worn directly
in front Of the bodice. Mrs. Drexels hair
was ornamented by a black aigrette and
several turquoise combs.
Many of the kid gloves OF the autumn will
match in pronounced coloring the brilliant
and snowy effects III the seasons gowning.
There will be new dyes in odd copper-like
shades, a dark, very odd Egyptian red, a
vivid purple, several novel tints of green, in
Guiding gray-green bronze dyes, laurel and
stem-green, mahogany, deep orange-yellow,
iris blue, blood-orange and a new bright
shade of tan.
The sea-gray of the summer is a beauti-
full tint with a moonlight effect-a color
most fattering to a brunette or a woman
with chestnut brown hair and a rich color
With summer cloth and other gowns OF this
color, which are admirably adapted Tor
coaching, visiting and similar uses, is worn
an exceedingly smart and natty vest whlch
is very much in the style of the old-time
continental waistcoat of ample proportions
1t Is made Of ivory-white corded silk, either
decorated with colored silk applique orna'
ments or Is deliberately braided In white
| silk, with a line of narrow gold braid FOL
lowing the arabesque tracery. Pocket maps
| and a fob chain go we'll with this vest
Some men are as particular about theii
clothing as the fussiest of women. They
object to anything being folded or pressed
down by the weight of other clothing, The,
do not like to have all of their clothlne
hung in the closet by wire hangers Such 6
man recently had a clothes case made te
order, says the New York Herald. His
tailor furnished the proper measurements o.
all of his clothing to the cabinetmaker Wnt
made it. This case had to be long enough
to contain his winter coat, If he should taxi
a notion to keep 1t. in a sliding section, ant
| other compartments were made to fit othel
articles. There was no deep drawer-eVery'
thing was a sliding shelf, with Just enough
room for one article. and partitioned on Il
fit. The shirt slide had three partitions
so that they could not help lying in order
This allowed of the shirts being drawn GU
ole at a line. The slides were all shallo"
about three inches deep. There We're specla
places for each article of underwear, GUNS
| collars. neckties and hose. and Jewel boxes
and toilet article compartments. There was
a big front board, which opened down likt
the lid of a desk and formed a shelf, or

preparatory to being placed in their proper
