Our Fashion Letter

ing feature of summer modes is theii
variety, and this is limitless. Every
possible line of fashion has been elab
Grated upon until more new features
would seem an impossibility, but the
m ,diste's brain, with prodigal fertility
ever evolves new ideas to suit every
feminine emergency though II can not
be claimed that this consideration is
shown the purse.
As the weather grows warmer thin
dresses become more numerous and
bewitching. The unlined grown is more
in the ascendency than ever and every
possible trick is resorted to obtain grace
and sccentuate the lines of the figure,
Guile an effective afternoon frock is
developed in thin pale blue material,
fecked with darker blue thread and
combined with narrow white satin rib
bon. The ribbon is auted and forms an
elaborate trimming on the bodice and
heads the deep flounce at the top Of the
skirt.
The bodice is in the Russian blouse
mode, opening over a soft vest Of white
chiffon and showinga n yoke OF the chill
fon shirred in narrow puffs.
Every ultra-fashionable gown has
hat to match and with the dress in
question goes pale blue hat in lace,
straw and fine flowers. A parasol of
pale blue tulla diffusion adds a charm
ing bit of daintiness TO the costume.
Something very charming for the
woman with auburn hair is made Of
white lace with inserted medallions OF
cream lace worn over slip OF pale yell
low taffeta. A ruching OF light blue
tulle forming deeply indented points
and scroll patterns adds loveliness to
the plan of the skirt.
The bodice has a yoke outlined in
scroll pattern by the ruching, Caps on
each sleeve are stimulated, and the flare
over the haud is ornamented with the
Tuching.
The hat TO be worn with this gown is
large and irregular IN shape and OF white
Neapolitan straw, with an occasional
band of yellow braid daintily touched
with brown. A short white ostrich
plume, the beginning concealed by a
chou of light blue panne velvet, starts
slightly 10 the left OF the front and runs
nearly to the right.
Women OF fashion are not adhering so
closely TO the fad OF wearing gloves TO
match the gown this year. The vogue
is inclined to give an air Of sameness 10
the toilette entirely out OF harmony with
the demand Tor effective combinations.
With few exceptions In favor OF the
black designs light gloves are invariably
worn, ,paleFrench grey and white having
preference.
Some of the smartest luncheon dresses
of the season are made OF silk finished
chambrey and mercerised lined. AIDE.
sige developed in the latter material is
made with a trim little belted Eton
which opens over vest of white linen
tweed with fancy stitch in blue linen.
These is a broad collar OF blue and
white lace, amp postillion coattails OF the
same. On the skirt and outlining the
short sleeves Just above the elbows are
pieces OF the lace in the form OF inserting.
Delicate rose nuns Yelling, solidiy
tucked as concerns the skirt and bodice,
is the groundwork" of a mode some
whit unusual in it's development. A
surplus dFapery OF pale rose mousseline
de sole contItutes the trimming on the |
bodice. A triple Tutile OF the mousseline |
gives a charming twirliUg effect to the |
bottom of the skirt which falls over a
pettieoat OF rose taffeta.
Black aud white combinations hold |
their own and are seen with many |
innovations. The waist OF a |
especially pretty model has the sleeves
tucked at the top in four rather wide
tucks; the sleeyes are tucked at the |
wrist also before drawn into the band, |
and the tucked stock is effectively com
bined with white tulle. The waist is |
perfectly plain, on the Spencer order, |
with no tucks or trimming.
The skirt 10 Of soft elinging black silk /
Dc chine, Princess in effect with straps |
of black over the shoulders. The belt,
n hich' forms a part Of the skirt, rises
high in the back, but in frontis separate
lnd forms a deep point below the waist
line. 1t opens above the waist about |
i've inches and this opening is crossed |
ny lattice work OF the narrOwest pos
sible black velvet ribbon.
The hat designed for this toilette is a
large imported creation. formed Of al
ternate folds Of black and white tulle
and chiffon.
In outing gowns there is much that /
i- new and attractive and the woman /
y no desires originality has but 10 make
a tour Of the shops which cater TO fash. |
