with broad straps of lighter shade OF
yellow and big buttons of the light
shades.
One of the smartest leather garments
is a top coat decidedly short, coming
just to the hips. 1t is a belted blouse
style and is very heavily strapped in
a somewhat lighter shade of yellow. 1t
is a garment most becoming to the
figure.
Hats are shown in Milan straw of a
very heavy quality, made in the Eng

trimming but narrow band of black.
They are to be worn with hoods made
of taffeta oiled silk or silk ribbon.
Hats of SILK and Rubber
Shirred silk hats and those with the
silk laid in close folds, somewhat in the
shape of an elaborate yachting cap, are
shown in all colors. They have no
trimming except the folds. The same
design is made up in silk rubber, gloria
and satin.
On the whole the hood is more popu-
lar than the veil this year. 1t has been
found to be much. more of a protection
to the hair and the face. Besides, it
has the advantage of being exclusively
an automobile property, whereas or
dinary persons who never go out in
automobiles can and do indulge in au.

which is-with the taffeta, at least

The linen coats. though fashionable

VX THAT to wear on summer auto |
w mobile trips is a question near

VX HAT to wear on summer auto
w mobile trips is a question near
to the heart of every woman
nowadays. THE uglier the more auto
mobilish" is proverb that applies to a
large extent.
There are many things to be thought
of in deciding on the fabric and style
of ones hat, coat and veil. In the first
place there is the ever present question
of what is becoming. Next comes the
question of what is smart. Third, one
must consider comfort, then comes the
durability of the garment, and last, or
perhaps first with some women, comes
the question of expense.
Under these main heads there are
many points of minor consideration as
to whether a material is good for a
variety of uses for instance, whethor
it will be suitable for dress parade and
for long tours, for rain and sun, cold
heat and moderate weather. protec-
tion from dust is of course, very inn
portant consideration and a foremost
one in choosing hat particularly. I'M
perviousness to the onslaughts of the
wind and rain must be thought Of in
selecting a hood and coat. The fact
that a garment is light weight. cool and
loose in cut renders it delightful for the
sunny, calm days, but If the shape Of
the sleeves is too bouffante the wind
will fill them uncomfortably on breezy
days; IL the material creases unbeau-
tifully one will appear unnecessarily
awful when, in the course of ride, a
stop is made at a cafe and the party
disembarks. In short. like all other dc
partments of womens dress, the auto
mobile outfit, to be perfect, involves the
expenditure of money i'm the purchase
of the very best materials and variety
OF garments that will be suitable for
many occasions,
Pongee is, of all materials, the ideal
one for automobllng top coats, but it,
too, has its drawback. which is that IN
the lighter and finer varieties 1t is apt
10 crease somewhat. 1t is also not SO
becoming as other materials to some
women. But when it is becoming 1t is
Ideally attractive. The creasing, too,
can be avoided by choosing the heavier,
rougher qualities which are fashionable

quite so popular just now, rather
darker shade having taken its place.
The trimming of black braid, or of
some fancy black braid with a little
color in it, on the coat is one of the
noticeable features of this style-per-
haps not so new as some others, but
a most noticeable point as regards the
blue. In the gray and tan the favorite
trimmings for the summer are the
fancy braids, of which great quanti-
ties are used of a shade, or rather
shades, several degrees lighter than
the material The short coat elabor-
ately trimmed with this braid and the
skirt trimmed to match is more
elaborate style than any other cloth
costume possesses. The long coats

coats, but the belted in garments are
more becoming to the figure.
Varying rumors reach us as to
sleeves. At the beginning of the season
the sleeve ideal of the new coats for
automobiling was most bombastic. The
sleeves on the new coats were enormous
and these will probably continue to be
worn on this side the water throughout
the season; but from Paris has come
more than one hint that smaller and
smaller sleeves are to be expected. Ex-
citing reports that all French sleeves
are ON the decrease are driving dis
tracted the women who wish TO be up
with the season and yet not beyond u;
for in the realm of dress 1t is almost as
bad to be ahead of the season as to be
behind 1t, as, after all, one wants not so
much to set a fashion aped from foreign
report as to be i'm accord with the best
of fashions around one. However. a
good solution is to be moderate in ones
dress-as I'm all things else A moderate
sized sleeve that is well cut and becom-
ing to the figure is sure TO last out the
season and may easily be altered foe
next year. Besides, It is much more
comfortable than small sleeve.
Tan and red are the favorite automo-
bile colors of the season, Both hues are
seen in many shades, but the favorites
are In the tan, warm. yellowish tone,

so that, after all, it is quite possible
tended to be worn. And while the white
lace and embroidered cuffs look rather
smarter and are more becoming. fash
ion kindly allows that these cuffs may
be either of black lace or lace the color
of the gown, far more practical for
general wear.
1t is interesting to notice how the
fashions change from season to season
in all the small details as we'll as in
general effect. AT the present moment,
the great change is noticeable in the
shape and design of the waist, and a
glance at the fashions that were popu-
lar before the straight front corset
came to life will reveal many points of
similarity with the models of today.
Not only are the plaits in the waist
cut higher, making the bust higher.
but the large waist is rapidly going out
of style and the small, tight waist is
coming into notice again. The modern
corset is a marvellous work of genius.
for it draws in the figure at one place
and leaves it free at another, so that
the fashionable figure of today, pro-
vided the owner be at all stout, must
needs be well packed to be considered
smart. There is evidently desire to
return to the old fashioned riding habit
waist in tailored gowns, and yet there
is a straight line to the front of all
coats and waists which, while very
narrow, is at all events in sharp con-
trast to the old fashioned tight waist.
which curved in so sharply. A neat.
trim, close fitting appearance is again
the characteristic of the modern tall
ored gown, both in waist and skirt.
and this at the same time that loose
fitting, fanciful Jackets and coats are
in great demand.
One of the most important costumes
III the summer outfit is the white coat
and skirt of serge, light weight cloth,
yelling or homespun, and there are
few days, even in midsummer, at any
of the fashionable watering places
when such a costume cannot be worn.
The lingerie waist is part and parcel
OF the gown, and there is no limit to
the variety and expense of these waists.
To wear with the coat and skirt of the
heavier materials. the waist can be
as elaborate in design as possible; in
fact. the palmer waists are not thought
to be in accord with it. Such a cos

more fancifully trimmed designs and a
more elaborate model being the more
popular. Fancy braid bands of taffeta
or satin are all fashionable trimming.
Lace also is to be seen in some of the
most elaborate gowns having Irish lace.
but this is more used on the homespun
and veillngs than on the cloth and
serge.

There are plaids, hair stripes and
indefinite patterns in the light
colors and also in the blue and green
the latter being more suitable for the
autumn and early winter, although
at the moment fashionable as well.
The skirt in plaits-side plaits or box
plaits, narrow or wide as the case may
be, and with little braid of some sort
lis charmingly effective, while the close
fitting short coat of rather fancy

smartest.
The long coat is still in favor, while

anyone inclined to be stout, never
goes out of fashion. 1t looks best in

PoNGEE GONN .

Oddly enough, with the latest gowns
of this description that have been sent
over have come waists to match. Quite
impossible it would seem in this climate
to wear a cloth waist under a cloth
coat at this time of year, and yet, evil
IDENTIFY, the fashion is intended to be a
practical one. 1t may be that the coat
and skirt are thought possible until
the very cool weather of the early
autumn, and then, of course. the waist
will simply add an additional warmth
and make the costume more attractive.
The waists are finished in elaborate de-
tail and have transparent yokes. When
elbow sleeves are used they have long
lace cuffs; and this transparent yoke
and cuffs make the waist much cooler,

is, the medium length -quarteN
coats. The very long coat, unless for
winter wear, is not elaborate, or should
not be, for it really is on the palmer
tailor order and should be made ac-
cordingly.
1t makes a great deal of difference
in this style of gown just what pur
pose the gown is intended for, as for
knockabout service and regular hard
wear the cheviots are the most SEN
sible, while for the afternoon and more
dressy occasions the more elaborate
style is thought best. This makes pos
sible the long skirt and the much
trimmed coat.

I T might be thought that tailor gowns
for midsummer would seem some
what impossible, but all the same
they are absolutely necessary in every
thorough summer outfit, for there are
many cool days when a rather heavier
gown is positively essential; besides
which there are many climates in
which the thin wash materials are
quite too thin for comfort, excepting
on the exceptional hot days that come
during every summer.
Among the different tailor gowns
that are worn in the middle of the
summer there are always to be found
indications of what the autumn and
winter styles are to be, for these are
the last made of any gowns in the
late spring or early summer, and are
turned out, as a rule, only by the
smartest houses The colors may not
be the very latest fad, but there are
various old reliable colors that can
always be counted upon as being cor
rect and desirable Blue, red, green,
brown, gray and tan are all very
smart and very useful, while the fancy
cheviots for hard wear are quite the
smartest of all at any time of the year.
At the present moment a war is
raging between the dressmakers Of
London, Paris and America on the
subject of the correct length of the
tailor gown. No self-respecting Par
isian dressinaker cares to make the long
skirt although, be it understood, no
smarter skirts are ever seen than the
regular trottior skirt, which clears the
ground by several inches. This, how
ever, is considered only correct for
travelling and for wet weather, and
even then is not fashion that is ct
all liked by Parisians.
English women know so we'll the
comfort and pleasure to be derived
from wearing the short cloth skirt and
how absolutely necessary 1t Is for all
sorts of outdoor amusements that they
have no use for the long skirt; and
Americans have also. especially with
in the last six months. taken up the
short skirt question with an enthusi-
asm so intense as to make the more
thoughtful question as to whether the
fancy will not be very short lived.
AS has been stated many times, it is
all question of how a skirt hangs
that decides whether it looks smart or
not 1t must have a swing and 1t
must have a flare to look we'll, and It
must hang exactly even. Nothing
uglfer has ever been devised than the
badly cut short skirt that goes up in
front and hangs down at the back,
and next in horror comes the skirt that
droops at the side.
The circular skirt, when well cut. Is
one of the most attractive fashions,
but a badly cut circular is horror

skirts are absolutely essential-in fact

The high winds caused considera-
BILE damage at Joppa last night, but
none was serious.

were both blown from their moor
ings and went to the Kentucky bank,
At least dozen barges and one
track barge were broken loose and
blown across the river Six barge5
belonging to Capt. Henry Smith, OF
this city, were torn loose and are
still missing, but he thinks will be
caught today.
The damage is light because OF the

storm. The wind was blowing a reg

keep the. boats clear OF barges. The
damage to the steamers amounted to
very little, not enough to interfere
with their running.
