FASHION LETTER
 FROM NEW YORK
IN SELECTING HER WARDROBE
 FOR THE SEASON OF 1902,
In Every Department of Dress There are String Departures. A Variety of Designs Exhibited.
Special Correspondence.

summer girl will find her task difficult not inthut there Is a dearth of novel, ties, but rather in the discrimination of the great number and variety of designs exhibited just now.
 In every department of dress there are striking departures, most of which are desirable and pretty. In fact noticeable feature of the summer modes is the lack of freakishness. The lines followed in almost in every in. stance are conventional and in accord ance with the dictates of good taste.
 One of the newest and what promis- e to be very popular summer fash ion is a sheer, dainty grass linen. which comes already cut out for skirt bodice. with the trimming em- broidered by hand. The skirt shoys a deep hemstitched hem, which IS elaborately embroidered in raised flowers with their leaves in natural colors.
 A smart afternoon frock embroii- cred in pink roses and green leaves is made over a slip of pink taffeta. The fulness may be disposed of by laying the skirt in tiny tucks or plaits around the hips. Another effective way is to form seven or nine rows of shirring ever the hips. This style, however, is intended only for svelte figures.
 The bodice is made over a fitted liu- ing of pink silk. The yoke is embroid- cred in small punches of pink rose buds and green leaves as unlinei TLn aal- t, latl ix, .f hemstitched tucks and these are al ternated with rows of stitching in pink silk. At the front the bodice blouses over the belt and opens over a vest of pink plaited chiffon with inset me dallions of ecru lace, making a very pretty contrast to the natural color of the linen, -S
 The gown is completed with large cream white satin straw hat trimmed in pink silk roses and butter-colored lace arranged in choux at the back and un- der the tilted brim.
 No material will be more fashiona- ble for summer gowns than foulard. The latest designs show more white in the background than ever. with green and leaf brown as a harmonious color scheme for the figures.
 Black and white are also extremely popular. A choice design is made with circular skirt. Around the hips tiny tucks are stitched and the full. ness at the front is put in ten tucks, each an inch wide. These reach near to the knees. The hem is also an inch wide. Under this is worn a drop skirt of white taffeta, embellished a. plaited ruffe of the same material. The skirt is very long, touching at the front and sweeping in a tremendous flare at the sides and back. s|
 The blouse shows the new tucks which have been recently introduced by Paris modistes. These stand out straight from the foundation and arc stitched on the edges The bodice fastens invisible down the back Across the chest are inlet medallions of coarse yellow lace, over black Chi na silk. These stretch across the chest and bust in two rows, the entire medallions dropping well down to- wards the waist.
 The back has no medallions. The collar is simply and effectively laid il tucks and has two bands of yellow lace around the center.
 The sleeves, following the tucked idea, are pinched into narrow pipings over the entire surface and are put into wristbands of silk, trimmed with stripes of yellow lace that end in bows at the back. The entire blouse sags for an inch over the snugly fitting of taffeta, stitched with black and run through buckle of dull gold.
 Lace is the trimming par excellence for summergowns and constantly grows in popularity. In fact it is not confined entirely to gowns. The ma jority Of shirt waists show it in some part of their trimming, ,embroideries be- ing employed for the heavier materials such as duck. plaque. chambry and ma dras, while the finer and more closely woven varieties are used for thinner fabrics.
 A dainty semi-dressy shirt waist Is made in white lawn. Running cross wise of the bust are two-inch tucks, hemstitched above which is a round yoke of embroidery. Then, below the yoke an dabove the crosswise tucks, on the waist proper the fitness of the bust is pinched in tiny tucks three inches long, the terminations of which are accentuated with small pearl bul. tons. A guise in which lace is seen to excellent advantage Is in little lace coats for summer wear. Under these are worn charming blouses of accor- l dion plaited pin dotted net or gauge, ! with inserted yokes of lace. There are others also with stripes of glace d. ternating with insertions of cream em- broidery threaded through with bebe ribbon .- 5 e----. rr-
