Especial Correspondence.
New YORK, June II. - Nothing Is
more important just now than the shirt
waists, the ties and belts and buckles,
for they win be more in evidence than
anything else for several months. Yes
terday | saw so many different kinds
of waists and of new ties and fancy
collars that my eyes are still dazzled.
Some of them are in quiet colors, of
course, but there are others really daZ-
zling in the decided stripes and checks.
Black and white are so fashionable
that the combination is found in almost
everything, but when it comes in direct
black and white stripes and checks it
is very trying to the eyes. Still it is
stylish. There are ties where the neck
piece is white and the ends are made
of the check or stripe, aud they are
really pretty and more dressy than one
would imagine. There are some white
stocks of fine batiste, and these have a
place arranged in front to hold a piece
of celluloid, and above is a collar d.
vided in the middle and made of lace or
very fine embroidery. To the stock
are fastened two long ends made of
batiSte, and these are to be brought
around from the back and tied in front.
Some have colOred silk ends, with the
white linen or pique stock. One style
Is called the pioneer and another the
Sorosis. In fact, there are so many of
the white and colored ties and stocks
that l cannot give them space in a
week-that is, to describe them indi-
vidually-but the best one is that where
the stock itself is of pique and the ties
of thin goods, with fancy embroidered
ends.
Some have pale pink or blue ends in
linen lawn, while the stock is of pique.
At the very ends of these there is often
a fancy motif of butter cOlored lace set
on. Tie ends are made of Irish point,
and where this is the case the ties are
of thin stuff, so that the lace shows up
well. Some are made entirely black,
and others have narrow black velvet
ribbon run in the lace or embroidery.
Shirt waists cannot show much that
is startlngly new, but they are all bet
ter in shape than they have been, and
there is less of that senseless baggiug
In front. There is but a little fullness
right in the front of the blouse, and
that is not pouched out much. 1 saw
one decided novelty yesterday, and
that was made of chine silk in the old
dainty shades and patterns like the
scraps that have come down to US for
generations. This silk was in a rather
large though vague design of iris, and
the left side of the front Tapped to the
right in a decided surplice style. The

Fashions Echoes.

Demidecolletage and elbow sleeves
are the smart things for day gowns.
There is no doubt that low styles of
couture are to be fashionable.
Some Of the prettiest sleeves show
the undersleeve effect only at the ell
bows, where the sleeve is slashed and
filled in with a lace or mousseline puff.
Travelling dust coats of black taffeta
have a place in the fashionable sum-
mer outfit. The prettiest are tucked
nearly all over.
The empire style is particularly at
tractive in lingerie.
The new millinery would seem to be
perfectly fat and round, keeping it's
place on the head by bandeaux.
Belts and sashes of ribbon will play
an all important part this season.
No garment surpasses the tasteful
shirt waist.
Fancy boas are one Of the seasons
fads and show great variety.
The trim little pique stock solves the
puzzling question of neckwear for the
shirt waist in most happy way. The
stock part is made of rather heavy
white pique, and the small ties match
or harmonic with the waist.

The Summer Curtains.

The use of lace curtains in summer
seems to be question of locality, re-
marks The Household. In large cities
curtains are usually taken down In
May and are not put up again until Oc-
tober. Scorching sunlight is very inju-
rious to fine lace. With the general
use Of screens curtains at the windows
are not a summer necessity, and many
object to them on the ground that they
obstruct the free passage of air. This
is more especially the case in cities,
where fresh air is at a premium. There
are cool suburban places where one
may indulge ones fancy for window
draperies. Curtains of muslin or some
Of tie newer sorts of dainty scrim,
known by a number of names, answer
the decorative purpose Of lace and at
the same time look more harmonious
with simple summer arrangements.

whole of the waist was tucked closely,
and this gave still further delicacy and
beauty to the silk. and the tucks were
made in the silk. so that when it was
cut 1t drew around the fronts with all
the grace of drapery. 1t was arranged
so as to have a dip in front, and the
self belt was laid in narrow folds. The
back was smooth and not tucked. The

The linen dresses grow in favor

A FOLDING SCRAP BASKET.
An Ingenious Continuance For Home
or the Traveller

OF the IrdNelcr.
Among conveniences which the sum-
mer sOjOurner is likely TO find cOnspicu-
GUS by its absence is a scrap basket
Probably more than one of our read
ers has experienced the utter impossi-
bility Of packing a scrap basket in an
average trunk, or, indeed, the packing
of it in any way so that it will not be
quite out of shape when it arrives at
its destination. These people will un-
doubtedly appreciate the ingenious yet
wholly simple design for a basket pic
tured and described by The Designer.
1t is quite out of the question for
black and white illustration to present
in true manner the dainty prettiness of
this little article, which can be made to
correspond with the dresser trimmings,
or, if it is intended to remain long in
one room, to match the furnishings OF
hangings of that room.
The basket may be made of any pre-
ferred dimensions, if about the same
proportions are maintained as given in
the diagram in the illustration. The
foundation is boOkboard, a very heavy
kind of pasteboard. If the basket is
small, the foundation may be all in one
piece, as in the diagram, but for a lar
ger one there must be a section of
board for each side and a square for
the bottom.
Denim is usually employed for the
lining and cretonne for the outer cover
ing, but if the maker be artist enough
the covering may be of brown linen or
white duck, hand painted with large
sprays of flowers. When the basket is
made in one piece a penknife must be
drawn along the dotted lines shown in

Low HairdresslnE and the COnse-
quent Abandoned Collar.


The low couture has become an ac-
cOmplished fact with the Parisienne,
although it is difficult to realize that
she has abandoned the knot gathered
high on the head, which is so chic and
so well becomes the majority of wom-
ankind.
But so it is. For day wear she adopts
a middle course, the hair mostly gath
cred into a knot of small curls and
poufs, not lying TOO close to the back
of the head. and in the evening, at
theater and restaurant. the hair lies in
a heavy coil or loop on the nape of the
neck.
This, Of Course. means the abandon
ment of the collar, and all the summer
dresses, excepting, of course, the tailor
costume, are being made with no col
lars at all except a transparent piece
of lace. the top of the chemisette being
drawn up close to the throat with
threading of ribbon. Such a mode is
eminently becoming to the French
woman, who is usually inclined to be
high shouldered and short necked, but
how will it fare with the American,
with her longer and more swanlike
throat? However, the fat seems to
be that the hair is to be dressed low
and the collar must go.
