New York, July S.-Out Of the vari-
Gus historical periods that have been
setting the types Of the last two or
three years. fashions have been gath
cred host Of small fancies and fur
bishings, all Of which seem to be -four
ishing this summer. Take the vogue
of bows, mostly Of Vatican origin,
which have lighted like myriads of
butterflies on this seasons toilets.
They deck the slippers or ties, the
gown, the coat, the hat and even the
hair. They riot in disorderly profus-
ion, march in professions or come
singly, in doubles or trios. They are
perky or square, as preferred and are
made of the most old-tumy ribbons
with picot, frayed or pinked edges and
with surfaces glace, changeable, flow
cred, figured ana striped or plain. A
spool Of the tiniest wire is usually
found now in milady's workbasket for
the delicate substantiation of the
edges Of bows, ruehes and other fur
bishings.
There seems in the air a growing
demand for stiffeniugs, although as yet
the tendency is very subtle. On very
slight figures the hens of dresses are
held out with some interlining, such
as very supple haircloth, erinoline OF
soft reeds. A new device for airy ma
terials is the insertion Of horeshair
braids-the kind the milnner uses--in
the hens Of skirts. Very often, most
often, in fact, these supports are put
into the foundation or drop skirt in
stead of in the outside skirt. If hints
of the fearsome hoop skirt they be
they are ghostly and ethereal and, like
other spectres, cast no shadow under
the strongest scrutiny. There is more
actual danger that the hustle and hir
pads will return than that the hoop
skirt will return. In some quarters the
latter ogres have actually appeared
but they are very far yet from accep
tation in fashionable circles.
Another ancient revival is the use
Of velvet or ribbon bows at the back
of stocks, the ribbon encircling the
neck around the bottom Of the stocks
and serving as necklace for the pend
ant or loclSet. Black moire is in fre
quent use for this purpose.
If one were to Judge from a casual
survey Of summer morning costumes
what the two most prominent fads OF
the hour were, one would be very APT
TO say, without hesitation, suspendeI
and crossover effects. Both have beer
modified and readapted until often the
original type is all but lost, but both
are at the bottom Of much Of the elab.
orations seen on trig get-ups.
As pretty a fashion as courts fresh
country breezes in swell turnouts on
sunny afternoons is the little cape of
cloth or silk worn with a muslin frock
and matching in collar the sash, hat
and parasol. 1t is a girlish style just
suited to dainty, youthful get-ups.
These little capes, very svelte about
the neck and over the shoulders, and
very ripply, just like the skirts, at the
tops Of the arms, are made Of chiffon
broadcloth or of taifeta, and are lined
with tho thinnest silk, white or a pale
tint The necks have fat finishes, usu-
ally ending in V or U at the front.
Sometimes the fronts are quite open,
just held together with a strap or two.
These little eapes come in good play
for an early evening walk or cool
afternoon promenade.
The girls, by the way, are darning
their stoekings-wonder of wonders for
anxious matters who have hitherto
failed to instil so practical an idea in
the heads of their daughters. But fat
