FRESH FEMININE FINERY.
A Variety of Pretty Things That Are Now in Favor with smart
 Dressers.

Narrow four-in-hand ties of bright- coiored silk have the wearer's initial worked fn the ends, says fashion authority.
 College shirt-waist sets of belt pin and buttons show the college flags and insignia on white enamel back ground.
 Summer footgear of children in- cludes sandals in black and in tan leather and canvas tennis shoes in bright colors.
 "A smart corsage decoration for a light-colored gown is two large black ribbon roses caught together with a bow of soft black ribbon.
 Elbow-sleeve gowns have given the bracelet new vogue. Among the lat est designs is one formed of fine gold links studded with garnets and hav- ing pendants of large baroque pearls.
 Transparent stocks formed of folds of white or colored linen connected with fagoting are marked at 25 cents in some of the shops.
 A novelty in wells is of plain chif- fon, white or black, with deep hem headed by fagoting in colored silk.
 Flenr-de-lis in silver form the de- sign of pretty belt buckle. To hold the ribbon at the back are three deur-de-lis, one over the other, con nected with silver chains to side pieces composed of two fieur-de-lis.
 Confectioners are nothing if not up to date. For the college graduate bonbon boxes are decorated in coI- lege colors. There are others in the shape of Oxford caps, made of silk and having tassel in college co1ors.
 A roseate vision will be the sum- mer girl who dons this outfit, dis played in a shop window: Pink silk parasol, shirt waist of thin lawn and lace worn over pink lining, and a broad, rolling g-brimmed white felt hat, about whose crown is twined a pink crepe scarf, falling behind. A simple linen dust coat is trimmed effectively with green. The coat is simply made, straight in the front, strapped across with three straps of the material, and is half fitting in the back. There is facing of tXe pale-green linen on the cuffs, with black and white braid and velvet fin l ishing the edges. There are two rows of the braid and a row of nar- | row velvet between. The broad turn over collar of the linen has the in- side of pale green, also edged with l the braid and velvet.
 l A shirt waist of pale blue liberty 1 silk has a small pocket stitched on the left front and about the stock of blue silk long, full tie of the same, hemstitched at the bottom and falling nearly to the waist. Frills. of white Valenciennes edge the front | plait.
 l For the traveller are convenient l plotting pads with corners of heavy natural color linen, hand-painted in l floral designs. Some of these are fit l ted with linen-covered extension at one side, in which is inserted a monthly calendar.
 Checked rain and dust coats are the latest. These popular garments have proven their usefulness in the season past, and the chances are for their remaining for several seasons to come. The newest model is of gray and white shepherds plaid in | waterproof silk. The loose semi fitting back is laid in three box plaits, belted in at the waist. An ad- unstable hood of gray silk is attached to the collar. The sleeves are very full, and are caught in at the wrists with strappings of gray silk and small steel buttons.
