TEA JACKETS
AND TEA GOWNS.

| New York. July 21.--Between q tea
iacket and full fledged tea gown the
phly difference Is that the skirt is
short IN one and long IN the other The
len gown has its deyotees, and so has
The tea Jacket. Each has its own uses,
pThe tea Jacket Is intended to be worn
with as many skirts as one possesses,
thus presenting the effect Of diver
siiy Of. garments.
TO tea Jackets there may be added
any amount of lace A nice one Is made
OF, soft shade Of resada green emma
silk, though II is also developed IN
crepe de chine and IN some Of the IN
dia silks. The colors are always solt
and delicate. The upper part Is IKE
a yoke and like a bolero, with marrow
tucks along In diagonal line, The
lower portion is tucked at the bottom
and. simply gathered at the top II Is
finished under a rosette Of rich double
faced satin ribbon to match. Along
the points are fine Jet beads and fancy
cab0chons. The sleeves are elaborate,
with tucklng, a deep flounce and I'M
dersleeves made of plated silk null
The V shaped front Is beaded and
shocked between the folds.
One OF these short tea garments was
of white silk in q flexible quality, and
extremely narrow tucks were put
around the bottom in clusters and also
10 and down. Between the clusters
was laid a narrow pale blue ribbon,
this In turn oyerlaid with lace, while
where the garment Joined In front
there was big bunch Of loops OF the
ribbon. The sleeves were long and
flowing. with the same scheme OF trim
ming and color carried out, This white
silk had jabots OF fine black chantilly
lace down the front, and mingled with
Il were punches of ribbon loops.
Another very striking tea jacket was
OF black spangled net made very full
TO the pointed yoke. The yoke was
one mass Of spangles while the lower
part was garnished with them more
sparlngly. The sleeves were made long
at the back and short on the fore
arms and extra full. At the neck was
a ruff of black tulle, while at the left
side was large rosette Of scarlet vel
vet ribbon In narrow width. one 9TH
er jacket, made very much like TINS,
had big chou 81 red tulle fastened
to the left side and another at the back
OF the neck. ..
After the tea jackets come the dainty
little coffee coats, as they are called,
though they are really nothing more
than kind Of bolero with q fall OF
lace along the front to give a hanging
effect. They are very convenient and
dressy, but not very practical.
Among the new things now being
made ready for the next season one
finds that there Is a determination that
we shall like fringe whether we want
10 or not. We find II in every variety,
from the narrow edge OF yore TO the
deep and costly knotted fringe made Of
sewing silk. This makes a graceful
trimming, but unfortunately, one not
obtainabe by every one. Some have
the knotted part made OF silk and the
fringe Of chenille. SIX and chenille
make a superb fringe. while the addi-
ton Of few beads brightens up the
dulest fringe ] have seen some hand
some fringe made entirely OF beads,
but whether II VIII prove as popular as
10 Is pretty no one can say
Bonnets are a fixed fact, and some
dainty and beautiful ones have already
been imported and are being copied

the magic OF handiwork is wrought so
that out OF q confused lot OF silk and
wires and other trifes these bounets
are born--created the milliners can H.
Perhaps they are right Some Of the
hornets are oddly made and trimmed,
one toque IL set close TO tho head and
made entirely Of small feathers curled
III under while lying fat and on the
left side sat two big chiffon rosettes,
with a fancy yellow beaded cabochon
In the center Aigrets are seen on
many Of the bonnets IN spite " the fact
thht they are now forbidden by law.
Maybe these were lust left over. But
the fact remains that We are 10 have
bdnnets, and lots Of them and pretty
ones at that. Jet work enters largely
into their composition. The hats look
so Ike those seensln the queer old pie-
tureAf with their high bell shaped
crowns and with the sides Of the brlm
brought down by the ears. that we feel
that an they lack is the ribbon string
