Something novel in a black taffeti
coat is tucked all around, lined will
white silk, and has revers collar o
white silk edged with black satin, anC
covered with an applique OF eoru lace
and black French knots, says fash
ion authority.
A unique but smart hat in the low
| fat shape is made of black and white
horsehair braid shaped in small
rosettes. There is a twist of black
velvet running in and out between
the odd rosettes, and at the left side
toward the front, broad bow of the
velvet ribbon follows the edge of the
brim, which is slightly iared and
against which rosettes of the velvet
rest. The hat combines good style
and utility. and may be worn with a
variety of costumes. A youthful
blonde will appear to good advantage
| in hat of this type.
The parasols this summer are fasci-
mating and carry out in their decora-
| ton many of the ideas introduced in
the smartest gowns. Appliques of
lace are more in evidence than fluffy
frills of chiffon and transparent eff
fects are very modish. Hand en-
broidery ard cut-out designs of vel
vet are included in the Ornamental
ton of these essentially feminine
conceits. The handles in many in
stances are works of art, and vary
greatly in length and design. An in
teresting feature of the new parasols
is that they are apt TO be suitable for
almost every occasion, the decora-
tions being less fluffy though rich in
effect.
A black MORE silk parasol trimmed
with three rows of cream guipure APP
plique, with the handle Of gun metal,
is unusually smart, while another eN-
ample is of white crepe de chine, with
appliques Of fine black lace in deli
cate feather design. The tiniest OF
black paillettes glisten over the lace
incrustations, and the white enam-
eled handle is finished at the top with
a graceful feather Of carved ebony.
Two-toned parasols are quite the
newest fancy, an example of rare at
Effectiveness, having the top of black
and white striped silk and the lower
part of tucked red silk. Pongee para
soils are also stylis. A novelty for
the golf lover is the parasol made of
red taffeta with a border of green
panne.
Hats, neck ruffies and parasols TO
match are in order for the up-to-date
woman.
The new. yet old, mode of srrang-
ing the hair low on the neck is grad
ually gaining favor, especially among
young women. First there is the soft
puff all around the head, the knot
little below the center of the back OF
the head, and the little bunch of
curls which Fall from the center of
knot. In most instances, no doubt,
the curls will be purchased and
pinned in, so the fashion is good
one for the hair dealers.
White kid and biste gloves which
wash like rag are one of the COM
forts in summer attire. and with
these we have the incest, most shape
" silk gloves, which are durable, II
not cheap.
Unlined stocks are very much IA
vored this season, and the stiff linen
collars and eholers seem TO have dis
altogether, particularly
from the thin waists. Many pretty
thin stocks are made of chiffon
striped around with rows of satin or
velvet ribbon. White ribbon with a
row of narrow gold braid sewn on
one edge is very effective. and little
bands of silk feather bones caught
underneath hold the collar in place
The most fascinating nightgowns
are either in the empire or the bolero
form. The bolero is in exquisite hand
embroidery or lace. or it NAV be
made of alternate runs Of embroid-
cred insertion and lace. These gowns
are trimmed at the hem with lace
edged frills. and are really sufficient
dress for a neglige wrapper.
