NOTES OF THE NODES.
Summer Fabrics for Outdoor wsar
-New Ideas in the Seasons
--;g-s Gowns. -

Emeraid-green hat trimmings, wells,
bodice, belt and collar accessories and
parasols are everywhere seen, and silk
petticoats and gloves of the same col
or, have recently appeared.
MerceriZed summer cheviots are
azrong the popular fabrics for general
wear on the beach or in the mountains.
They aresto be found in pure white and
a number of delicate colors, says the
New York Post.
Very few stiff linen collars or
starched stocks matching the bodice
are worn with the Gibson and other
popular shirt waists of the summer.
Instead of these are numerous neck
ties, bands, and stocks of embroidered
lawn, transparent net, lace and ba-
tiste, or those of sheer India null in
set with fine linen medalions or bor-
dered with bands of insertion joined
with rows of brior stitching. Neck
scarfs OF white crepe de chine are laid
in tiny folds around the transparent
net throat band. and finished at the
top with small turnover collar of
embroidery finished in the corners
with French knots in either blue,
black or cherry red.
A stylish gown worn at fashionable
summer resort is made of dotted silk
warp voiIe with Irish lace medallions
introduced vertically on the very deep
graduated skirt fiounce. The high
yoke is of the lace laid over pink chif-
fon, with matching undersleeves. A
full blouse front is shirred to this yoke,
and corresponding with it is a narrow
hip yoke Of lace to which the skirt
is deftly shirred. This yoke extends
UP on the waist just enough to form
a small girdle pointed at the top.
Among the new green gowns are
those made of pineapple gauze, ct
anime, pongee, nuns yelling, French
chambray, taffeta, grenadine and satin
foulard. A green linen batiste dress
has the skirt strapped with the goods
down each seam. These strappings
are strapped with white, and extend
from the belt down to skirt-hem, each
graduated hem being carried over the
hounce. The blouse is laid in narrow
tucks with piped strappings of the
linen extending from the neck and
shoulders in varied lengths, and set
about an inch apart. Each strap is
pointed at its lower edge, and the en-
tire effect is that of yoke with lines
of the fine tucking showing between.
The sleeves are in bishop style with a
turn-back cuff of embroidery match
ing the collar and pointed girdle.
Stem-green crepe de Chine gowns
sent from French shops are decorated
with insertion band and motifs of
black Chantilly lace. To be worn with
these gowns are black lace picture
hats made up over green tulle, and
very graceful Alexandra berthas of
crepe de Chine. The berthais trimmed
with accordion-plaited frills of green
mousseline de sole, borderd with in
crustations of the lace, and the plait-
ed ends are a yard and a quarter in
length, banded at intervals with the
mousseline frills set horizontally
around the plated scarfs. Very many
of the newest summer gowns have tiny
pelerines or fchus of matching fabric,
and others OF white guipure or black
point de Gene lace, are very attractive,
being delicately lined with either
white, cameo-pink, sea-green, or prim-
rose-yellow chiffon, and finished at the
edges of both cape and scarf ends,
with a band of delicately colored silk
embroidery in Persian effects.
