not color that is becoming to the ma tority of women, and the fashionable shade this year is extremely unbecoming to most.
 In choosing costume of cloth for sum- mer wear the very nghtest shades are more suitable, unless really dark one is preferred. There are in serge and light camel's hair some very good colors, end some extremely smart gowns are made up in blue, purple and black. It Is astonish- ing, to see tine number Of black gowns that are worn, although black. like white, is not SO fashionable thls year as 1t has been for the last two or three summers. There Is little of the regular tailor made style in these latest models of cloth gowns The latter styles seem to have been cast rather into the shade by the newer ones, and win probably not be seen again until the early autumn
 The Loose Coat of Cloth or Yelling. The loose coat that hangs from the shoulders and is of medium length, trimmed with embroidery or braid, is a very favorite model and very effective one. Besides being made up in cloth, 1t has been chosen for mohaAr and yelling. It has not yet become too popular, and is therefore extremely smart for the moment. One model that Is revived each year has just appeared again, and that is, the dark blue serge trimmed with touches of Scotch plaid. 1t is emphatically on the practical order of gown. excellent for travelling on shipboard, and suitable for wear in cool localities during the summer. It is not possible for anything excepting the mora practical purposes: but the bright color against the dark Is always effective, and 1t Is becoming to many women.
 To any one interested in the clothes question from a practical point of view, as well as an aesthetic one, 1t IS interesting to watch the efforts that are being made to introduce fashions that border on the pic- turesque. but somehow lack the smart, fir- ished look that has heretofore been a cri- terion for cloth costumes. The new skirts especially are, to say the least, peculiar. They are so tremendously wide as to make them almost impossible to hold up, and yet, on account of their great width, 1t is impossible to make them short.

N preparing the summer outfit it is
 hard to realize that it Is al1ike as i'm
 portant to have cloth cootumes as those
 of thin materials. for in the unsettled
 state of weather conditions that prevails everywhere there are bound to come in
 summer many days when a cloth gown b absolutely essential to comfort Al though women look their best in light, aary fabrics and in the conventional white muslin and blus ribbons of summer, yet nothing is more forlorn looking nor more unbecomtng than too thin a gown when the day is cool
 Besides which, now that women go In so mnch for all sorts of outdoor pleasures, such as yachting, golhng. tennis, autolng and driving. if Is the height of stupidity to be without some warm gown Or wrap. So that the prudent woman chooses with ns much care and thought her summer gowns of cloth, or some such fabric. as she does the gowns of wash materials or of thin silk or yelling.
