Not only silk is used, but satin, Louisine,

Up Fifth avenue, the other day there
walked a girl. dressed in a cloth suit of
a shade known as burnt onion. which is
cross between a green and brown.
Over her head there swung a pale pink
silk parasoI upon which little onion col

tinted white ones, were finished with
large green leaves and flying stems. The

has, IL she only realizes it, marvellous
possibilities in dress. and hersIatest and
best idea is found IN a new trimming
which Is called the Partisan skirt trim
ming.
To trim skirt with tta Partisan
trimming it will be necessary to pur-
chase enough light weight broadeIoth

bottom Of the skirt. Let the band be
about twelve inches wide and let il be
or the bias. Now take q pair OF sharp
scissors and cut cut the pattern. Let
the pattern be slightly classic and be
sure that it is methodical.
One of the pretty designs consists OF
big seallops with spaces between them.
This makes q very neat finish md when
it is sewed around the bottom Of the
skirt It gives a womanIike appearance
which is so necessary TO the success Of
the gown. Do not hem the top and dc
not finish it in any way, but have the
edge raw. Now along the top OF this
trimming are set three rows OF SOU
tache, and when you have finished your
work it will have the French stamp II
well done.
The Newport contingent has introduce

these the most pronounced is the panel

the petticoat effect. and you see skirts
slit right up the front to the belt with
a panel of contrasting color. and diff
ferent material set in,
AS a rule, where the summer gown is
concerned. the front panel IS made OF
lace, although you do see null and very
thin batiste used in this way, and,
again, there are petticoat effects that
are managed in quite another way. A
real lace petticoat or a silk one, pro-
fusely trimmed with lace, is worn and
over this is dropped a gown which IS
made sorle hing on the Dresden order.
It is opa.. in the front, and trimmed
with rtlfses on the sides and in the

put on in the new ruffie style, which Is
narrow in the front and wide in the
back. These are called French ruffies,
and there is great revival of them. In
ruff1ing my new July gown I should
cut the ruffies off in the middle Of the
front, leaving a plain panel and down
the front of thisfpanel from the belt to
the floor I should set a fan of thin ma

except a tight-fittlug hem. The yoke
will be very deep and on this yoke l
will set q heavy box plated ruffie, which
will fall right to the floor.
September will bring another gown,
which. if the Paris modistes look ahead
rightly, will be built with a cutaway
coat modelled upon precisely the, same
lines as a mans cutaway. The skirt will
be box plated in the front and in the
back, while the sides will hang full. The
color will be hazel brown and the gown
will be made of silk and trimmed with
bands of dark brown cloth. Cuffs. lapels
and strappfngs will all be of the same

Never Before Have These
Two Articles Been
So important.
They Are the Essential
Features of This
Years Outfit.

Hat and Gown.
By AUGUSTA PRESCOTT.

~ ENORA MARCONI carries a sum
uer fan which is reminiscent of
Ireland. She was the Lady
Beatrice O'Brien, and in her
trohsseau there are many articles which
lock as though they had been n1anufac-
tured in the pretty Irish department of
q French dressmaling establishment
They have the delightful Irish touch so
noticeable in the Irish laees. the Dub
lin suitings, the Belfast linens. and the
Edinburgh drawn work.
Green is the color of the summer, and
the sonora has a trousseau rich in
shamrock tints. One OF her gowns is
fluffy thing in green liner SO sheer that
II shows the foundation through. 1t is
embroidered by the French sisters. and
! the design is an intricate one in sham
rock and roses, the roses being carried
Gut in white ana the shamrock in green
With this she carries q Japanese paper
fan of the fat, found variety. 1t has
| & pearl handle and on the fan there are
hundreds OF raised silk shamrock leaves
with tiny pink flowers.
Over her head she furls white linen
/ parasol profusely and abundantly en-
/ broidered in green shamrocks raised so
that you can pick them of. Green and
white are particularly becoming TO her
rare beauty. and one of her prettiest din
ner gowns Is in changeable green taft

1t is difficult to imagine the summer
girl without her parasol and fan. These
have always been fayorite articles in
the summer outfit. but this season they
are absolutely essential. No Spanish
{ woman ever regarded the tan as more
necessary TO her attire than does the
woman OF the summer. and no French
girl ever carried a parasoI with greater
grace.
There might be a deal Of etiquette
written on the handling of the pai'asol,

Dame Fashion Always Brisk.

There is now no such thing as a duh
season in Dame Fashions world. There
was once upon a time a sort OF unwrir-
ten rule that the busy season should
come in the spring and fall, but the best
dressmaking establishments will now
tell you that there is no such thing as
Il duh season at any period of the year.
There are as many gowns TO be made in
June as in December and as many in
December as In May. Women have got
ten into the habit OF buying gowns
every month in the year. although they
make up for this by buying fewer at
one time. e.----s---------s.-

The New suspender Gowns.

The suspender gowns promise to be
very fashionable during the summer. If
you have not seen one Of these dresses,
you can easily imagine one by taking a
pair of mans suspenders and putting
them over the shoulders of your shirt
waist. When you have done this, you
can add two more straps to your Shout
ders and you can also attach another
pair of straps to your waist line. In this
way you will get an idea of how the
new suspender dresses are built Their
design Is not only to hold up the skirt
but to trim the shirt waist, and thus
give the appearance OF whole suit to
the gown.

The summer parasol and the summer

pensive, yet they are SO constructed
that they can be used late in the sea-

now will not be actually thrown away
when September winds blow.

HOT GOWNS.
Costumes, ParasoIs and Millinery
For the Summer Days.

| have a young friend who spends
her m in a small country hotel.
and during four consecutive seasons
she worked steadily and hard to make
herself a lace dress, all to be wrought
on a surface of batiste. When it was
completed that particular style had
been put into that strange place where
all old fashions are stored and no one
knoweth where. All that beautiful
work went for nothing, for now lace
gowns are not in the swim-that is, il
you go to buy a gown which shall be
a thing of beauty and a JOY until
ones rival comes out with a p~rettier
one. Now, instead of the graceful
sweep of a plain skirt overlaid with
lace the skirts are founced and plated
and treated in such a manner as to
require from ten to twenty-five yards
of material. Is that a f%orerunner of
the crinoline that certain manufactur-
ers have been trying to force women
to for many past seasons? 1t
may be.
Well, to return to lace dresses II
there are few gowns all of duchess
lace or Limerick or Cluny or Irish
crochet, there are many pretty light
laces set on the edges of the hOunces
and on all places where it can be put
and deep cuffs, yokss and insets, and
sometimes one may find lace inset in
the skirt if the material is suitable.
No matter where lace is put, it is pref
ty and an ornament. The parasols
are light and gracefully trimmed with
lace put on in many fanciful ways.
One, for instance, had the body of the
parasOl made of closely shirred pink
chiffon, with a regular fluff at the
point, then a row Of black silk guipure
lace, with three little tabs of black
velvet fastened so fiat they would fall
on each rib from the black line, then
another row of shiIring and a full ruff
file of chiffon, with a row of fine
valenciennes half an inch wide set on
straight. The handle was of ivory,
with inset pieces of fine Whitby jet.
This parasol cost $40. A young girl
who saw it with me went home and
covered her white parosol with pink
chiffon in exactly the same way, and
it was every bit as fine, only hers had
a coral handle. But who was to know
that the original was of carved ivory
and jet?
The majority of parasols are palmer
this season, although there are many
, 1905-08-02

of the fluffy kind for summer days and
pretty toilets when there is no rain.
One pretty plain silk one had little tabs
Of black lace half an inch wide begin
ming from under the edge and extend
ing part way up the body. More pieces
are laid at the point so that they are
like a star. A dainty little bow of
pink ribbon is at the handle, and that
reminds me that all the summer para
soils have bows of ribbon at the handle.
Some very unusual parasols are made
of brocaded silk, with a full ruching
of white chiffon along the edges. 9th
ers seem to have had Il special design
woven for them in the factories, for the
edges show Il fancy stripe that other
wise could not have been brought there.
Pink, apple, green mauve and soft old
rose in many shades are seen, and so
Is deep OK blood red. Blue | have not
yet beheld. 1t would be an anomaly.
Among the lovely fancies in lace for
the adornment of summer dresses are
the circular lace berthas. They are
about four inches deep and three feet
long, but are curved like a fiat collar.
For summer afternoons there is no
end to the light and lovely stuffs, but
of them all veilings and eoliennes are
the best, while the rich and useful mo
hairs are a close second. In the illus
tration is a soft tai yelling, with a
vest front of white cut embroidery,
now SO popular, and a bias band two
shades darker around the skirt above
the founce and along the front OF the

cuffs of the cut work. A hat such as
Captain Marryat describes In n Of
his once popular novels is wide of brim
and bound around the crown with blue
and white ribbon. and a crush belt CT
the same is brought to a sharp point.
though some folks predicted that there
would be no pointed belts this season.
A mohair suit for n young lady is in

with white silk castle braid on the col
lar. The V Is of tucked white linen.
and 1t Is high, like IA stock. The sleeves
are cut square, but tucked into shape
nearly to the elbow.
The hat is OF blue chip of the exact
shade of the mohair and is trimmed
with n piece of silk null. with cut out
work. This falls over the brim in the
back like a long plume. This silk null
can be washed IL soiled. To wash it
lay it in well soaped water awhile.

Every once in a while the busy and
officious police raid a matrimonial bu-
reau and lay bare to the world the
secret longings of t%hrObbing hearts all
the way from sixteen to sixty years of
age.
On such occasions we learn that the
prosaic man who has been working at
our side for years has a touch of TO-
nance in his nature that we little Is
pected and is yearning with all of the
enthusiasm of a steam engine to wed
some pale spiritual blond with pros
poets consisting largely of bank stock.
Also of the young lady who has been
waiting for more than a quarter of a
century for a lover true who has failed
to single out her doorbell. from among
the thousands just like it along the
street who would like to get the add

sition and a fairly good provider.
1t is safe to say that the beauty doc
tor who recommended the washtub to
women as good exercise wouldn't do
much business.
A word to the wise is sufficient, but
for the very wise a wink will do.

He Didn't Cut Much Ice.

He never had a raise in pay
Nor got an extra cent;
Good fortune never came his way;
He couldn't raise his rent
And hand ii out when 1t was due-
He often had to luck.
Twas sad, most sad, but 1t was true.
He said twas Just his luck"
Misfortune watched him every day;
All his Investments failed.
A shadow on his spirits lay,
And at stern fate he rallied.
No planets ever fought for him,
His hour never struck,
His courage failed, his Eyes grew dim,
Because twas Just his luck"
He never said he knew he could
Get up and make things whiz;
He never, be it understood,
Refused that luck of his.
He looked at it with ~listless eyes.
Nor showed a bit of pluck:
To him the thing was no surprise
Twas only Jus his luck"
Twas just his luck to toll all day
And worry half the night,
To NOPE about nor make u play
To get things coming right.
He never thought to take a brace
And gloomy precepts chuck,
To look things %squarely in the face
And get a change of luck.
