NEW YORK FASHIONS
New Materials, Styles in Making, Coats
 Capes, Small and Large Bishops.

The belle of the summer will often times be yellow fluttering creature. Long ecru pongee coat. skirts, caught by every breath of wind and dress skirts to match, are a very prominent feature and where the gown is of some other material, the coat does duty as the flying banner which heralds a fair ones approach. These garments are so assailable from the breeze, because unlined and in truth, are far from ! graceful or becoming, but the average woman, as we know. cares more for style than becomingness. As a strong | rival to pongee, however comes linen. not the dainty texture which befits the gentler sex. but the coarser in weave, l the more in demand and the term butchers linen" carries with it a gla- mour apparently irresistible. Elm 1 broidery on linen. is extremely stylish. Sometimes close and heavy or again in open eyelets or the two may be com bined. Heavy lace. often in profusion, | is likewise noticeab ble and may lie at the bottom of the skirt in dragging sort of finish. Recently on exhibition in a window, were five linen gowns two white. two blue and one ecru.
 Coats have carried the day, over all AN are a combination blouse and skirt. both laid in box plaits and usually the dress skirt matches in material and shows plaits in keeping. In such case, Il is even in length all around. like the tub" skirt of last summer. As a util- ity garment. however, short jackets 1 thrown off or on and becoming to most with strapped seams in tan cloth. have a prestige all their own, being easily { worn unless too tleshy, In fashion able ears the word cape" is an abom- nation; nevertheless the newest neck coverings are certainly on that order. but not extending below the shoulders and invariably showing stole fronts. These stole fronts are indeed Q fad and are very stylish feature in lace col lars.
 SMALL BISHOPS AND LARGE ONES
 Let this settle the question of sleeves the most vexed one in dress. Deter mined on change. modistes have brought about, as we know. very in- artistic and altogether ungraceful pro- ductions, topsy turvy puff below the elbow, being the result. This consu- tutes the large bishop But happily there is a revolt against eXclusiVeness on this order and while certainly it is 1 yet a quite respectable minority in sleeves show the modified puff above the wrist, scarcely larger than that which obtained last summer. These come under the head of small bishop" Thus a sleeve of last season. becomes not outlandish at present and quiet people averse to or not having time for change, may possess their souls in peace, while those who are altering a sleeve that is hopeless, because tight below the elbow, can have by draping as large a bishop as may please their fancy.
 OUT DOOR LIFE
 being now in order for women, almost or quite as much as for men, every
 girl and many matrons look fully as , much to their golf, boating, yachting, driving. walking or travelling outfits,
 as to their trailing gowns for dress
 occasions. This fact must largely ac-
 count for the continued popularity of independent waists. as given simple 2 or ornate waist, the skirt, even if in : walking length, may pass muster alike
 for active pastimes or parlor talks
 Travelling conveniences too, have seem-
 ingly reached perfection, though each year, it is true, something more is add
 
 plated out door sports, it is the custom : to carry along what proves seasonable | refreshment after exercise Thus as the : time comes round when we pack our Il trunks and satchels and start for the
 country, we sit down to go over the
 little list of things we must have with
 us for our comfort and among the first

 Strange isn't it. we never tire of it:
 And yet it is not strange after all, toI | the whole world has been using it con- k stantIy for nearly hundred years and
 it was never more popular than it is ! this season.
