NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
Styles in Feminine Apparel for Late
Spring and Early SaElnler
Wear.

The lace and acco-dion-plGited friilS
used on the Few dress" toilets airy in
depth from five to fifteen inches. The
six and ~seven-iEch varieties are mostly
used for TIE close elbow sleeves of thin
muslin CIR light silk gowns for summer
wear. The deeper llces fall from the
lower edges of little pulled sleeves that
reach just below the curve of the Shout
der, and the rufies hal finish them
fall 20 he wrist. and r somewhat
shorter on the inside of the arm.
Short. smart dress capes for spring
are made OF panne velvet and peau de
sole. The velvet is in lovely pastel col
orings. and the peaU de sole scarf-ends
are finished with deep six fringe. On
plated cap2s of black peau dc sole are
yokes. revers. and collars of open em-
broidered creamy white batiste ovcr
white satin. On the front of the far
ing collar are two large chouN that
just meet. and are made partly of
green. partly Of a beautiful shade OF
old rose velvet. \ short bolero jacket
of black panne satin has large revers
and collar wrought al over with gold
thread. chenille. and crcamy-white
silk.
Elbow sleeves. says a fashion paper,
appear again Oh many of the French
models designed either for full dress
or demidrcss wear. and these call for
either the new lace mitts with leaf
points reaching well over the back of
the hand or for suede or glace kid
gloves of much greater length than
has been necessary with the long-cut
sleeves for some time past. Later on
we shall see these elbow sleeves on day
dresses of lowered India muslin. or
candle. foulard silk. peau dc sole. and
the pretty summer silks in black and
white. green and violet. gray and old
rose. The gowns are made with
founced skirts and bodices with Marie
Antoinette fichus frilled at the edge
like the elbow sleeves. They are fin
ished with long scarf ends. which cross
at the waist line on the front. and are
carried 20 the back and knotted or tied
as best suits the figure OF each wearer.
The great diversity in the ways and
means of manipulating lace. insertion.
cdging. and appliques. is certainly an
expressive tribute to the versatile and
artistic dress designers this season.
Everything which has ever been used
for this purpose seems to have been
revived and added to the novelties for
next season. which are already being
shown.
The empire and vatican styles are
being pushed into special promirenc"
for use during the coming summer. \
few models in vatican fashion have al
ready appeared. the panniers being not
much more than pretty suggestions of
the style. produced merely by outlining
gimps. fringes. or by means of a def
manipulation of the skirt Grapery from
the hips towards the back OF the gown.
Neither OF these forms Of dress appeal
to women of T. time. rs appropriate
for ANY but special occasions. Fsrday
uses. there is now Il certain brisk. bust
ness-likr air about the gown that suits
the women of to-day who do rot live
the secluded lives their busy grand
mothers did. Somehow the rowing.
-oling. cycling. fencing woman look:
out Of place in an empire gown.
