Wear Them Out.
The end of the season finds the most
treasured toilets used for almost any &C.
casion. The idea is to wear them out,
and so a threatening day may see women
in costmes of garden party loneliness loll-
ing in carriages or hating for a moment
by some park bench. Great quantities of
lace bedeck many of them. Often many
different sorts of lace, in widely differing
patterns, are disposed over the same gown

The fury for Irish crochet is virtually
over and the entire gowns designed of 1t
have been consigned to the limbo of things
too expensive for mortal use. Anyway,
these all-over crochet frocks could never
quite escape the homemade tidy look, and
one never saw them without momentary
distaste for their inherent Loneliness On
fimsy and almost rag-like in quality, have
lent themselves to fairy effects which the
more beautiful crochet could never achieve

the simply gathered waists. some of which,
with their cut-out necks. are only shade
more complicated than the ancient and

Old-Time Fashions.
What are we if not reminiscent in fash
ions? The tippets, capes and capelines of long
dead bellies are with US. So are the petit
coat whose bouffant foot fiounces take the
place of the vanished hoopskirt. and the
tiny carriage parasol whose bend at the
handle permits of it's being turned into a
fan on breathless occasions.
And this brings us to the purely modern
parasel, which, if not quite formidable
for coquetry as the tiny sorts, is still a
powerful weapon. Those designed for car
riage or other dressy use are frivolous in the
extreme, some of them being mere bouquets
of artificial flowers and gauze Superb eff
fects are seen in black and white, the laces
which fncrust the frail chiffons and mousse
lines sometimes taking the forms of butter
flies. swallows and large stemless roses. Or,
again, the black emphasis may be of the
slightest description. some tiny cord of
chenille or bebe velvet outlining the top
and bottom of a founce and forming a
ruche or shaping a Topped bow at the fer
rule.

NEW YORK, August Is, 1903.
To the mind prone to idle fancies, late
summer clothes have a sentimental air.
Especially over the muslins and other
gauzy and perishable textiles may a re-
QUEEN be said for unless they are re
newed," seasons wear leaves such fab
RIGS in sad condition.
The renewing is done at the cleaners or
by the dressmaker herself, and consists in
slight stiffening with gum arabic water
and carefully pressing afterward Muslin
gowns thus rejuvenated come out as good
as new, unless they are obviously soiled.
In this case if the colors stand water, the
trimmings are removed and the costume
treated to an honest bath at a good French
laundry. None but a French laundress can
restore a muslin frock to anything like its
pristine glory. Considerable manipulation
is done with the fingers to promote good
effects after ironing, such as lifting the
gathers with a coarse needle and rounding
out Wristbands and armholes
For doing up fairly simple muslin frock
So is charged. the price mounting with
greater elaborateress till it may reach ST.
The end of a season requires some little
renewal or other, and after the tinkering
the wearing possibilities, with almost every
garment, take a new lease. To subSti-
tute new hat flowers for faded, wind-b blown
ones Is one of the August duties of the
milliner, while even the smarteSt dress
makers must descend at this season to re-
newals of all sorts.
Ribbon Fixings.

plays lace and ribbon collars for the re-
vival of bodices past their freshest period
These are almost capes in depth, and while
some hang open at the front, others fasten

such collar of antique lace and ribbon vel
vet was almost waist deep, and hung with
such sloping simplicity over the Shout

The growing fad for short sacque-like eff
fects gives other opportunities for lace in
eking out the wear of a damaged bodice
These dainty little sacques are no more
than waist length. and have, with their
wide bottoms and loose sleeves. something
of kimona look. Made entirely of lace or
embroidery, they form part of charming
house gowns. whose deep skirt fiounces or
the band above them, may be of the same
