NEW STREET COSTUMES.

New York, May ll.--A manufacturer
OF tailor made gowns once told me
that paper was patient and long suf-
fering and that It allowed artists TO de-
sign fashions that would never do In the
world for a real dress Looking at the
remarkable pictures I'm some of the pro-
fessed fashion magazines II is easy to
believe him. Who ever saw In real life
a woman with such a iiy away skirt
as the one represented I'm some illuslra-
lions, with all the folds qnder the feet
and the back spread out like pea
cocks tail? Yet that is really what,
when properly made, Is one Of the best
Of the styles for handsome street cos
tunes. But the artist considers Il his
duty 10 make IT look like a picture and
not Ike a pattern. We viii now pro-
coed 10 dssect II as dress and leave
the artists fancies aside.
This is one of the accepted shapes
for cloth and all other Of the heavy
spring tailor goods, and the new skirt
yoke is In evidence. These yOkes serve
no really good purpose that, can see,
but for the moment they are stylish"
Stylish is O word to conjure with in
all things that appertain to feminine
affairs, So these yokes are cut TO tit
around the hips closely and to fasten
lnyisibly in the back while one part
extends down the front to the bottom
of the skirt forming the front breadth.
Where the material is cloth or somc-
thing equally heavy there is piping
of tcatherb0ne cord to hold the edges
firm and define the outline Some OF
these have lace or some one OF the
handsome braid trimmings down the
front and even sometimes around the
yoke. The skirt is laid In wide side
plaits almost to the center Of the back,
but the back breadth Is cut TO flare
widely at the bottom and may train
somewhat IL the lady Is strong enough
TO hold It up and likes to practise ath-
letios in the street This shaped yoke
to the skirt Is thought TO be universal
~ becoming, as Il dissimulates too
high hips on the one hand and can be
made 10 simulate them when the fig
ure Is too slender.
The jaunty little Monte Carlo coats
called In England sacks" are to be
very generally worn this season, long
or short as one prefers The main
idea Is always THAT the coat shall set
out in front and be short In the back.
They are particularly we'll adapted for
summer wear, as they can be-and n-
deed most often are-made OF thin taft
fcta ana are unlned, so that they give
a dressy appearance without being
warm No matter how pretty a dress
waist is nothing can make II look just
right to wear In the street without
some kind OF a wrap The bOas of last
year, which are still with us, and the
stole capes and the handsome lace
pelerine capes are all designed TO be
worn as a dressy addition 10 the waist.
But there are times when the prettiest
Of the last mentioned things are not so
suitable as the short coat
In a grand new store ] saw a line of
dressing gowns OF course you all
know that these are to wear in the
early morning or late at night, and
they are planned for the utmost COM
fort. The japanese kimona seems TO be
the foundation OF them as 10 the shape
Of the neck, but the sleeves are most
often In bishop form. They lap over IN
front 20 the waist line and fasten in
visibly The back is half fitting. while
the fronts hang straight from neck TO
neck In fact. they are Ike our old |
shaped dressing gowns, with the differ
ence of the japanese fold around the
neck and down the front Made in soft |
cllnging stuns like wool delaine or |
ch1llie or figured silks bordered with a !
band Of ribbon seWed on an around |
the bottom and fronts, nothing could |
be pretter or more simple. Some like |
the addition Of a wide collar nuunce !
with lace and with one or more SELF |
lounces Of the material or Of the ncs |
or shirred ribbon around the bottom. |
But for genuine comfort the palmer |
they are made and trimmed the better |
Dainty dressing sacks Of thin stuffs |
are seen IN profuslon all trimmed with |
lace and narrow ribbons wherever the |
ribbon seems 10 belong These are |
made ordinarily in the old fashioned |
shapes, a short sack, flowing sleeves |
and ilaring around the bottom 10 M |
the hips. The amount Of lace ana nib |
bon applied TO these IS not limited.
