All Sorts Of Beautiful utiDg Dresses
AND SOME VERY FINE HOUSE GOWNS ARE IN THE SUMMER OUTFIT OF
THE WOMAN OF FASHION.

Paris, July 13.-They do things better
in the old world. In summer there is a
softer, cooler regard for the sun, a way Of
dressing that, while fashionable, is COM
Portable, a certain nattiness-to use an
Americanism-which seems lacking else
where. Yet, even while writing the
words, visions of the loneliness of New
port arise and blot them out!
I have in mind a certain frock of the
simplest goods, aodotted challie, l think
or possibly a thicker grade of null, with
tiny silk figures in it. It is literally a
daisy dress, designed for a dear friend
of the Countess de Castellane, who is to
visit the countess this summer at her
wonderful villa, to which all Paris seeks
an invitation.
This dotted dress, which is for feeding
the ducks n doing the homely garden
maid tasks which the French think it is
so smart to copy for a few months in the
summer. is lined with a thin wash silk of
pale pink, which shine through the
white NULL. The waist is the same with
a broad band of plain white silk down
the middle of the front.
A very coarse f1Ounce of lace is set upon
a belt of arbutus pink velvet; and, at the
neck, there is a small bow stock of the
same velvet. Certainly a very neat dress
for the country maid.

relieved by the stock with stole ends
which is becoming more popular. The
most becoming Of these are of wide white
lawn, double, and stitched along the en-
tire outside edge, even the points being
stitched. The lawn is tied in a bow with
Short loops, leaving ends that hang to the
waist line. This same becoming stole is
made from lawn of all %colors, and, as it
can be Numbered, is deservedly a popu-

making this style care should be taken
to narrow the neck strip to a width of not
over two inches; the ends are four or
five inches wide.
The new collar has ends that pass each
other and button or their respective but
tons, which are set at each side of the
neck, instead of fastening with one but
ton in the front. A rather elaborate but
ton hole system is required by this fash
ion, but the result is a stiff, strong stand
Ing collar that is becoming to the neck
and chin.
Pale green is the color selected by the
mountain climber An Alpine huntress,
bent upon securing everlasting foliage for
the decoration of her rooms, wore upon
her quest a skirt that came scarcely to
the shoe tops. 1t was heavily faced with
the same duck of which it was made. The
narrowest black braid was the simple
trimming of the skirt, and the jacket was
an Elton, long enough to hide the belt.
This Jacket was cut in the new double
breasted style, with points overlapping
across the front. and was finished with
lapels that We're faced with heavy deep
green silk.
The rough rider, or cowboy, or as they
call it here, 'the Bernhardt," is worn
pulled down over the eyes and trimmed
with a very long quill, which stands ag-
excessively upright.
While there are no positively new ma
terials since my last writing you, there
are new things to be worn with summer
dresses: such, for instance, as the stole.
already described, made out of the same
material as the shirt waist. This is ex-
tremely pretty.
There is also the sunbonnet, which is
this season a reality. Over a dozen of
these ave been sent to Newport for the
summer season, to match the outing
dresses. The sun onnet is intended more
for the garden game. for tennis, for the
little walk, than for the soberer games of
golf and water sports. The bonnet has a
big soft crown set high upon the Mother
Goose pattern, making d peak at the top.
