The Ways In which Thin Gowns Will BE
Trlmmed-M Millinery StxIcs.


Trimmed-Miliinery Styles.
1t Is the early shopper who catches
the best of summer fashions for.
strange as It may seem, after April
the prettiest things are gone. Then
summer fabrics are cheaper now than
they will be later on, which is n point
above all others TO hasten the laggard.
Prime favorites of the new season
will be certain embroidered Swisses,
whose designs are as delicate as II
stamped, and which are in the faint
hues OF organdie. One seen-a soft
maize with turquoise blue and black
leaves-had been made up with blue
ribbon borders TO the flounces and
narrow black velvet sash.
Black is 10 trim everything, and
black and white will be considered
more than ever ideal combination.
, French organdies and Chantilly lace
are the materials of an effective gown
The skirt shows the hip trimming
which has been found so becoming to
slight figures, and the arrangement of
the killed frills and lace bands below
suggest the lines of the old graduated
flounce. On the round bodice the lace
outlines, in rows, little bolero effect,
which is topped by a shirred yoke,
edged with double killed frill. The
close lower portion of the puffed sleeves
are only basted in that the sleeves may
be worn elbow length when desired.
Elbow sleeves are seen on most OF
the airy gowns. Deep flounces narrow
ing at the inner arm in the quaint old
way finish them all, and there are
many narrow ribbon sashes.
The parasol that accompanies this
particularly charming gown is of white
chiffon, with close quillings of black
lace heading several rows of tucks.
The English walking hat Is Of black
and white straw, trimmed evenly with
wings in the same combination, and
black tulle and velvet.
The spoils Of Bacchus are seen in the
new millinery, in neck fixings and on
dance gowns. Grapes! grapes every
where says fashion, and she hands us
the fruit, as If covered with a deli
)cate frost, in purple and white and sill
}ver and in huge punches. Sometimes
the great balls are glued over with a
fine tarleton-for grapes are easily
broken, and when the fruit Is white,
with the deep green leaves Of the
natural vine. the effect is exquisite.
Few walking hats are seen, hats
which sit on the head rather fatty
and are pushed over the face, without
n seductive fall of some sort at the
rear. Sometimes Of lace, sometimes of
ribbon, flowers or fruit, the dangling
tail is always an aid to looks so 1t is
not surprising that It rs 10 be contin-
ued. This began last summer, but
whether it is to increase in length. re-
mains TO be seen. In such tentative
manner started the 'streamers" of
the long ago. A black and white braid
hat gives the present length for the
rear falls. which in this instance is of
the thin white lace which fills in the
underside brims. Three of the popular
pearl ornaments, and crown wreath
of pale pink roses are the other trim
mings, and with it a black and white
collet of spotted net; velvet and lace
is suitable neck finish.
The new wash bodices are as simple
as they are pretty. The daintiest Of
them are made of dimity, in pale col
ors and white, tucked all over and
showing lace insertions In straight and
undulating bands. The popular sleeve
for them is elbow length. The neck is
finished with an unlined stock in the
waist materials. and the garment fas-
tens at the back with small pearl or
linen buttons.
With three skirts and six of these
waists in white and colors, the most
modest person may so triumphantly
through the summer. AS to the ma
terials Of the skirts, let them be of
white duck, black serge and brown
linen.-Ncw York Sun.
