NEW YORK FASEINOS
Ont Door Garments

Out QVOE UAEm6UtS
A frequent choice among young people,
will be short jacket in tan or black, tight
fitting in the back and the same or half
tight in 'front.' Strapped seams are the
conventional finish for tan garments and
fancy braidfor the black. Allages will wear
loose black silk or sometimes cloth gar
ments reaching usually to the hips and
attached to yoke or shoulder cape, both
either composed Of trimming or show
ing quite elaborate garnitrue. These gar
ments, however. must not be mistaken
for the Monte Carlo coats that have been
SO popular for the last two seasons. The
immense variety in
Thin Fabrics
is sufficient to astonish even person
accustomed to New York variety. High
on the list come organdies in exquisite
floral patterns, ranging from delightfully."-
hued roses Of very large size, to dear little
buds. Other organdies show satin or
lace stripes in squares or columns and
twined about them or spreading in lovely
expanses between, are delicate flower
laden vines. Bareges in old fashioned
weave, come in wool or silk and wool
and vie with etamines and voiles, both in
many grades and colors, SO much SO that
they almost form different fabrics, one
from the other yarity. Persian novelties
in two shades Of the same color, eolians
showing fine cord and crepe de Paris,
are among other offerings. There
Never Was A Time
indeed when transparent and semi-trans-
parent materials were so fashionable, and
this fact must account for the great use
made Of slip skirts that show through
the goods above SO prettily. Drop skirts
are also very much in evidence and for
both, Pres de sole is now conceded to be
the best material, since while wonderful
ly resembling silk, it also gives the pecu-
liar "cry' OF silk that IL so dear to a
woman's heart. Petticoats Of the same
material are very desirable, since it has
the silken lustre, while less expensive
and much stronger than silk. An admir-
able completion to the petticoat, is the
Lily hair cloth hounce, perfectly shaped,
well bound and imparting the stylish
fare, while keeping the drapery away
from the feet, thus leaving the move
ments Of the wearer free. The supply OF
materials for

or independent walking skirts, leaves
nothing to be desired in addition. Cot
ton materials without being weigehty,
have delightful firmness Of weave, and

also in the minority, are varieties very
closely woven and having narrow stripes.
The greater proportion OF canyases are i'm
solid colors. Duck outing cloth is very
closely woven, coming in both dark and |
light colors and many show small squares
formed by thick self colored threads. |
Crash fills the gap between canvas and |
duck and comes in mixtures Of white
and colored threads, one forming the
warp, the otner the woof. The effect is
very desirable. In
