MISS Sibyl Douglas daughter of Mrs
William F. Douglas and who has recent
ly arrived from Europe, was seen on 9Th
avenue in a simple brown linen or pongee
coat and skirt. At a little distance II an
peared TO be linen.
The round-length skirt was laid in mar
row side plaits arranged in groups and
having half-inch strappings of the ma
to the bottom
The Eton coat was also plated, the
plaits being narrow and of the side va
riety. They extended from the top of the
round neck to the bottom.
The sleeves. like the coat, had clusters
of narrow side plaits laid in at the top
and back from shoulder seams to hem
These sleeves came half way between
elbows and wrists Strappings of the ma :
terial outlined the insertion of these
plaits in both coat and sleeves. The fronts
of the jacket met, but were not fastened
except at the top. Little picket pointed
side strappings extended out from the
edge of each front, and line of fine
black braid or embroidery showed through
the center.
Miss Douglas hat was a dull pink chip
! of moderate size and irregular brim
slightly turned up near the front, where
a pink rose and several green sprays Of
the foliage were caught back of the turn
ed-up part and fiat on the brim.
Miss Evelyn Parsons has among her sum-
mer frocks one of light and thin lavender
linen.
The box-p,aited bodice has narrow stock
and very narrow circular yoke-not over
two inches deep-of thin lace. This bodice
Is as simple as can be, loosely following
the outlines of the figure with It's stitched
down box plaits. The sleeves are moder-
ately full from shoulders to the elbows. and
are then plated in close to the wrists The
girdle is also lavender linen.
The skirt, short, of course, Is laid In side
plaits that are stitched in almost to the
knees and from there down merely pressed.
The hat topping this frock is lavender
chip. rather large and of irregular shape,
and where the roled-up brim Is indented
| at the sides lavender wings are fastened.
A new gown just arrived from Paris for
a wealthy westerner was designed by her
self and Is probably the only one of it's
kind. as 1t Is comparatively simple. and.
therefore, less likely to appeal to the Pari-
sian modste as good model.
1t Is pale pink silk net over palest blue
| chiffon, and Is trimmed with bands OF blue
silk crepe embroidered in shaded pink roses
with pale green foliage.
The neck Is cut in Dutch fashion, and is
outlined with an inch-wide band of the
crepe, with tiny rosebuds embroidered on
1t: the Oddly Of the embroidered bands is
| that they vary in width and their flowers In
| size From the Dutch neck the net Is shir-
red and radiates out from 1t over the shoul-

| tiny gathered folds being caught invisibly
