NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
Some OF the New Fancies in Making
Up nressy Gowns for
the Season.

H
French cashmere, a very light weight
Of ladies' cloth, and fine French flannel
In soft powder pink, make pretty
house blouses. They are deliberately
braided in white soutache, and fast
encd with small round pearl buttons,
says the New York Post.
Thin muslin gowns are fitted to the
figure below the waist this season in
an easy and graceful manner. Zine
vertical tucks are taken, from a quarter
70 half an inch in width, and of gradu-
ated length, giving a pointed effect
where the tucking ends. The super
huous fullness is thus equally dis
posed of all around the skirt. The
yoke Of the accompanying waist Is
similarly tucked. These are arranged
In clusters Of five, and a band Of narrow
insertion is laid oyer the center (third)
tuck, and the muslin is cut away be-
meath.
A new English skirt just touches the
ground at the back, is less sloped on its
front and side cores. and is some inches
fuller all around the upper portion
than any OF the skirt models in vogue
for seasons past.
The seasons new wash-silks or silk
cheyiots," as they are called. abound
among summer importations. They
appear in soft, beautiful shades Of
rose, amber and reseda; heliotrope,
russet and ~migponette; chamois and
violet; cream, pink and stem-green;
and green with delicate touches of red
or gold. The heavier qualities are
used in a manner popular with Paris
and London tailors last year, for trav-
cling and afternoon costumes. golf,
beach wear, etc. They are also COM
bined with sheer wooden fabrics for
general summer wear.
A special feature of new millinery
Is that the blossoms and foliage used
for decoration are abnormally large,
many Of the huge leaves that extend
at right angles from the sides of the
hat being shaped like those Of the be-
gonia. Flaring wing effects are still
! dominant characteristic Of summer
millinery. These are made to equalize
a degree the expanding effects Of
the lower half Of dress skirts. This
of Trimmings, however, much
more becoming to the faces of slender
than to either round or oval
s~ountenances. The capote, turban, or
English walking hat is much more suit
lble for the latter type.
Argentine gray is a beautiful color
Tery much like the moonlight and opal
of last season. With the soft,
cloth and drap d'ete gowns Of
his tint is to be worn an extremely
mart Partisan vest, much on the style
I the old Continental waistcoat Of
mple proportions. 1t is made of ivory
fhite corded silk, decorated with APP
'lique designs in soft pastel colors.
Trimmed pocket-iaps three inches deep
nd a fob-chain are worn with it. A
rill of rather wide and handsome lace

a feminine touch to its otherwise .
lther mannish effect. .
