NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
parel, for the Summer
Season.

The faring, billowy decorations on
the skirts of elegant summer gowns
are newly arranged below the knee,
and on the latest models from over
the sea appear in the most graceful,
artistic and charming guises, says
inc new YORK fost. e. -
The newest French sleeve models
show the most approved forms of the
elbow styles arranged in every sort
of quaint and fanciful form and also
the shapely coat shapes with pictur-
csquc finish at the top and about the
wrists, the wrinklcd mousquetaire
forms, and the graceful bell styles
null, batiste, net or chiffon.
In the bcwildering array of new
French models are waists of finely
tucked cream satin with collars, re-
vers, and girdle, and cuff pieces of
deep ecru guipure lace. These
waists are made over closely fitted
under-bodices of cruc taffeta silk.
Other very handsome models are Of
ivory white crepeu satin tucked in
vertical groups, with bands between
the tucks, formed of white satin COW
cred with embroidery in delicately
colored silks and gold threads, or the
bands are in brilliant oriental color
ings, outlined with silver threads.
Japanese foulards are among tho
novelties from Paris houses.
Trimming cloth and light wool cos
tunes with stitching and strappings
in straight rows, or with bands neat
ly piped, corded or finished with
point and Tapped, one over the other,
seem destined to remain in vogue for
some time to come-as many of the
summer modes continue to show this
style of decoration. Softly tinted
pastel shades are employed for stitch
ing the pointed or scalloped edges Of
tan-colorcd fawn and gray cloth
gowns, and gowns of white pique,
dimity, linen lawn, etc, have strap
pings in soft rose, pink, rosy mauve,
ciel blue, cherry red, or ecru linen or
French lawn.
Among the summer dainties are
pretty garden party tichus and
fichus of lace and chiffon to be worn
with drapcd picture hats to match.
These zcphyr-lille wraps only cover
the shoulders and measure ~ yards
(scarf lengthy in front. The hats en-
suite with the capes arc about the
size of n small Lcghorn braid. and
are trimmed with Il plating of lace
and rose garands, or simply with
tulle or chiffon scarfs gracefully
drapcd.
The very fashionable shade among
English novelties is "dun colork Inn
agination at once associates it with
II distinct style of dowdiness. The
new pink, however, is n pinlish tan,
and "dun colorcd" cloth bolero
jacket from u London designer,
strapped with taffeta and lined
throughout with pale mauve silk,
could hardly be called dowdy-indeed,
it was particularly smart in appear
ance, the rcvers and sleeves being
overlaid with Il very rich design in
Flemish gnipure lace.
Very large, ovcr-decorated hats are
undoubtedly in high fashion, but the
pendulum of the toque has swung
back again, and the mammoth head
wear patronized here is no longer in
favor among the leading elegantes Of
Paris. There are worn dainty lisse
and tulle shapes, and separate
strands of straw yelled with
crepe lissc in color matching tho
straw. When the plnits are united, q
delightfully."- soft and airy appear
ance is the result. The brims of
many fat-shapcd hats are yelled with
lace which may or may not be car
ricd over the edge of the medium
wide brim.
