PRICES ARE CUT,
Merchants Closing Out Summer
Goods For Fall Novelties. ri"y
NEW YORK FASHIONS.

SO that the stocks on hand may be sold
to make room for advance fall fash
ions, and it is possible to obtain some
very smart novelties for a nominal
sum. Real linen lawn shirt waists
which two months ago were consid-
cred cheap at So can be had for less
than half that sum now and they are
certainly as smart looking as when
first introduced into the fashionable
world.
Many women, therefore, with an in
clination to be economical are purchas-
ing several of these designs and will
wear them until late in the autumn
with their chic tailor made gowns
which are yet to come.
But not only are there bargains in
shirt waists; the daintiest muslins and
lawns can be procured at the same re-
duced prices and never before were
these models prettier.
Next to the all-white frock comes
the one with a white ground and the
merest suggestion of a contrasting
tint in a delicate figure. For instance
a line of sheerest textile. has the sur
face covered with most delicate sprays
of forget-me-not blue in natural color;
or the same ground may be sprinkled
with polka dots in eau de nile, maize,
corn flower blue or something equally
pastel in effect.
All of these combination take pref
tily to black, velvet ribbon being run
through on embroidery beading or
heading of valenciennes lace.
Gowns that are made very plain are
embellished with all sorts and cond;-
tons of exquisite fichus and collars.
me oddly in this line is a collar made
of embroidered silk. The foundation
Is white outlined in robins & blue
silk, so as to form small blocks about
an inch square. At the corner of each
block is a French knot. Circular pieces
of blue satin, q deeper shade than the
silk, are set on each side of the collar,
which tapers down to the waist line in
front. Around each of these circular
pieces tiny laurel leaves are embroid-
Tered, and the centers have a spray of
white rosebuds shading to shell pink,
heavily embroidered. The edge of the
collar has tiny scallops of white silk
beaded with a blue cord.
Foulard gowns trimmed with bands
of plain silk the color of the back
ground of the foulards are very smart
These bands are put on in fanciful de
sign and stitched with thread CORE
spending with the tone of the figures
in the silk. The effect is unique and
helps to gain the elegant simplicity
noted in this seasons models.
The newest and most striking nov
city accompanying the foulard gowr
is the foulard hat. This has a low
crown, very broad and somewhat OF
the tam-o'shanter order. The brim /.
wide and on its stiffened edge ar
sewn two bias frills of foulard stitched
with white silk. The hat is very et
fective and requires but little trim
ming, a chiffon veil dotted with white
or green being all that is used.
Red and white foulards seem to b
taking the place of the blue and whit,
effects. The red is soft in tone an
there are so many tints That 1t is posi-
BILE to suit almost any complexion. On
of a series of designs ordered for tn
Newport season is trimmed with co
lar and cuffs of Irish lace and cleve
touches of narrow black velvet. Az
companying it is a hat of coarse brow
straw, wreathed with red currants an
dotted here and there with the softes
little ~rosettes of red satin ribbon.
Large red hats in satin straw ar
growing popular. They are worn wit
long riding coats of pure white taffet
and make a charming picture. TIL
hats are trimmed either with sweepin
c~laret-colored ostrich plumes, or wit
the same shade tulle wells twiste
once around the neck and knotted {
the side. The newest veilings are vel
pretty indeed. They have a cob-we
pattern upon them and the meshes
the net are very large.
