MANY TRIM MlNGS.
This Summers Fashionable Girl
Gives Them Much Attention.
COATS FOR PROTECTION.

New York, June 2S.-To the keen
observer who has been watching the
fashionable girl in her struggles to ap-
pear ever original and chic nothing
has been more evident than the atten-
ton which she pays to the various
little accessories which lend elegance
to the ensemble.
Trimmings and ~furbelows are indis-
pensaDle to the ultra-stylish summer
gown, not only because they impart
airiness and substantially to the dia-
phanous textiles which are now the
rage. but because they are necessary
to carry out the idea of ~bewildering
confusion which the w~ell-dressed wo-
man affects.
Among the materials which enjoy ex-
%CeptiOnal favor is batiste. Certainly no
fabric is capable of greater variety OF
treatment, for besides the deliciously
cool gowns which the material is used
to develop, if is one of the leading tex
tiles forming the basis of embroidered
trimmings.
Batiste gowns with trimmings of taf-
feta, pale blue, white or yellow, are
very attractive this year and while not
absolutely new, they are decidedly
original. One very dainty model has
a wide circular iounce and bias bands
on the waist of pale blue taffeta. The
skirt is trimmed with straps of lace
applique, which are continued down on
the silk %iounce, and on the waist the
silk bands lIe partly covered with the
lace figures.
Entire gowns of embroidered batiste
are the very quintessence Of fashion
and irreproachable extravaganza.
These are suited to almost any purse
because they can be obtained in the
cotton batiste embroidered by machine
in close imitation of handwork, or in
silk batiste with genuine hand en-
bToldery.
For more general wear nothing eX-

In madras, lawn or pique this costume
is very desirable for its absolute com
fort as well as daintiness. Both skirt
and waist are made plain except for
the decoration that tucks or plaits
lend. there seldom being any trimming
of any description applied to the ma
terial. A few exceptional cases is

have applied bands of taffeta in con-
trasting color. but the smartest de-
signs are limited TO the dress material
for ornamentation.

glory remained untold, for were

II may be well to mention the fact
that UEQersleeves are constantly TAX

No matter how warm the day il Is
nothing unusual to see in the streets
of Gotham a long, loose coat Of tarfeta
or glace. Sometimes il is developed in
pongee. There is really no warmth to
the coat, and nothing protects the
gown so well when n runs in town
FOR a days shopping. The glace coa'

of ultra-smart women, but anyone
