OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Small Points Of Present Style,

|
intense long continued hot waves
within the memory OF the major
portion of our population. Suffer
ing, sunstroke and fearful mortality
have been the order OF the day for
a long long time. Everybody who
can get away for a.vacation has
gone or is getting ready to 90.
Those whose employers grant them
half.holiday Saturdays, take trips
out of town, by boat or trolley; and
fortunately, there are many beauu-
ful, nearby refreshing recreation
spots to visit in all directions, not
counting Coney Island, the incom-
parable.
We all owe to ourselves, to our
friends and to humanity in general,
to keep as we'll as possible. Invalid
ism appeals to no one, these days.
Good health is like money in the
bank; it is our actual stock in trade,
our most valuable and Immediately
available asset.
That little things make up life,
has been said many time and oft.
In fashions domain it is especially
pertinent, for upon the accessories
depends the actual success of
woman's appearance. The "man-
nish" effects Of past seasons are not
as prominent as during former days;
though Fall styles will be somewhat
palmer in outline.
Buff batiste worked with floss in
very fine. fetching eyelet pattern,
formulates very exclusive collar
and cuff set.
Chiffon cloth is used for wells.
Both sides and ends are hemstiched
and the wells are a yard and a half
long They appear in all colors,
also in black and white.
Dust coats are in high feather.
Those Of cream cheviot and home
spun are exceedingly popular. Al
paca and tussors are also well liked.
There is a new tussors fabric shown
by Lord and Taylor, which is
thoroughly dust resisting, and makes
charming Empire coats for driving,
motoring and travelling.
Iced wool composee many of the
pretty shawls and fascinators seen
at mountain and ocean-side, as well
as on cool evenings in town.
Silk rubber makes ideal bathing
caps. Blue and red are the colors
most in demand for such purpose.
There is new Chinese crepe in
for Summer curtains, which presents
varying shades Of poppy-red, sage
green, and all sorts Of dark rich
Oriental colors. 1t is very beauti
full.
The newest wraTs and suits from
Paris show high, Napoleon collars.
For plain, tailor made costumes and
jackets, velvet collars and cuffs will
prevail.
The lightness, plancy and gen
eral comfortableness Of the r. &C.
corset would render it sovereign
favorite with ladies all over the
land, even though it had no further
qualifications. But it has other and
wider causes for claiming and en-
Toying precedence. It's so various
ly developed that no matter what
the conformation Of the wearer, il
meets her requirments. There are
special models for long wasted wo-
men, with high bust, long hips and
curving waist. + or tall figures,
there is a special style with decided
length Of line under the arms. The
pet model for the average wearer
has small, tapering waist line, 1.-THE.
curving hips end is made of fine,
cool batiste trimmed with lace and
ribbons, and has hose supporters at
frount and sides.
Lace and embroidery coats arc at
the very zenith Of their popularity.
Some embroidery frocks have coats
to correspond.
The old fashioned pelisse Of many
years ago, is revived for travelling.
Flower fans close in the form Of
a large bouquet. The flowers are
Of silk and chiffon.
Lovely, fluffy boas are Of black
and white ostrich plumes. They
are composed Of five rolls Of feath
ers. Curled COO and marabout
feathers are also made into boas.
