The tendency toward Japanese stuffs
is most pronounced. The fad for all
things Japanese invades the realm of
dress and is becoming more and more
pronounced.
1t Is altogether likely that the Jap
anese stuffs always were in existence,
but it is only lately that their beauties
became apparent to Western eyes To-
day one sees the great Japanese wisteria
vines embroidered and stamped upon
dress materials. There are wonderful
dresses, all gay with cherry blossims,

In materials this is just as noticeable
as in colors. The Japanese silks were
never SO fashionable. and there are
countless silks and other stuffs that
feel and look like silk and which come
from the japanese looms to be made
up into summer and autumn gowns for
the American women to wear.
In hats. too. this Japanese influence is
seen. The plain American sailor is still
the style and always Will be. But there

Midsummer Hat Notes.

A few narrow trimmed English sailors
are seen. They are said to be liked for
country wear, but ii is hard to imagine
an uglier or more unbecoming shape.
and II IS TO be hoped that the vogue is
temporary one That stiff English sailor
has been a source Of wonder on the con-
tinent for many years. No woman save
