vHAT to wear on summer auto
~ mobile trips is a question near
az to the heart of every woman
w nowadays. The uglier the more
automobilish" is a 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 be-
coming Next comes the question of what
IS smart Third. one must consider COM
fort, then comes the durability of the gar
ment, 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. whether ii will be suitable for
dress parade and for long tours, for rain
and sun. cold. heat and moderate weather.
Protection from dust is. OF course. a very
important consideration and foremost one
in choosing a hat particularly. lmpervious-
ness to the onslaughjs OF the wind and rain
must be thought OF in selecting hood and
coat. The fact that a garment is light
weight, cool and loose In cut renders 1t de-
lightful for the sunny. calm days, but If
the shape Of the sleeves is too bouffante

Pongee is of all materials. the Ideal one
for automoblling top coats. but it. too. has
It's drawback. which is that in the lighter

in midsummer. at any of the fashionable
watering places when such costume can
not 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 possible; in fact,
the palmer waists are not though to be
in accord with 1t. Such q costume Is as a
rule on the elaborate order, the plain coat

NEW LAMP SHADES.
The Fac of the Hour Has Them to
Match Hangings.

The craze for refurnishing house in
summer has reached even to lamp shades,
and folderols for the fashionable candle
labra The heavy silk-covered shades and
glass globes intended for winter use, are
replaced by the daintiest of light-colored
shades to match warm weather fittings OF
parlor or bed room.
Where wire frames form the foundation
of the winter shade they are stripped OF
their finery and recovered with cretonne
Or the housekeeper hunts out some tinkerer
and has him build her frame of light wire
in one of the endless picturesque shapes
which are among the seasons novelties
From this she evolves a light, summary
shade from painted paper, silk or bright
Powered denim.
Cretonne stands practically unrivalej this
year for the warm weather dress of country
cottage and city house. One deft-hngered
girl, who has decked the walls and furniture
OF her room with white cretonne, showing
immense blue peoples. is the envy of all her
girl friends because of the shade which tops
her tai. crystal lamp. The ppycovere1
cretonne is stretched tightly over a large
wire frame shaped like mikado canopy.
Blue silk braid outlines the undulat,ng ribs
of the frame. box-pleated ruching of
blue silk six inches In width and pinked on
both edges encircles the top. while a blue
silk fringe finishes the bottom.
Another cretonne shade of cupola shape
has the ribs outlined by narrow double folds
of silk gathered through the center and
twisted around the gathering string so that
1t has whrling appearance. Pink silk is
gathered in the form of a crown at the top,
leaving wide. stiff heading. which is gath
cred SO full at It's base that 1t stands up
straight of itself. This crown is protected
from the heat of the lamp by an inner circle
of ;singlass, An effective fringe to hang
from the lower rim is made from double
fold of cretonne four inches wide. cut to
within a quarter of an inch of the two
edges into strips not the least bit over an
eighth of an inch IN width.

vt might be thought that tailor gowns
for midsummer would seem somewhat
impossible. but all the same they are
II absolutely necessary in every thorough
summer outfit for there are many cool
days when a rather heavier gown is posi-
lively essential; besides which there are
many climates in which the thin wash ma
terials arr quite too thin for comfort, ex-
cepting 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 10 be,
for these are the last made of any gowns in
the late spring or early summer, and are
turned out, as rule. only by the smartest
houses The cOlors may not be the very
latest fad. but there are various old re
liable colOrs that can always be counted
upon as being correct 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 smart

the most needed articles in a lady's trav-
cling bag. 1t is made of silk or other ma

1t is for the purpose of concealing the

quently necessary in the presence of others.
The ribbon, of course, serves as a fastener
when the holder Is filled and rolled together
and becomes an additional ornament when
tied in a bow knot. Although the sketch
shows bit of embroidery on the flap OF
the lingerie holder 1t may be made of fig
ured goods, upon which this extra work
need not be expended. If figured goods
are preferred silk plaid is suggested. for one

What to Wear on Summer Automobi1ing Tours.

careless fashion that prevails even among
well paid servants Is a pitiable object.
Taffeta silk is as desirable as the pom
gee for a summer top coat, as are some or
the other soft and light weight silks. The
silks are apt TO shed the dust very well
and their crisp quality is much more be-
coming to some women than the graceful
but somewhat flOppy lines of the pongee.
The silks. If Of a good quality, have the
advantage of not mussing. They are ex-
ccedingly stylish. but they, too. have their
fault. which is-with the taffeta, at least
that there is no surety of their cleaning
without cracking They also are not apt
to wear nearly well as the other ma
terisls.
SILK rubber IS, of course used principally
for extended summer touring. 1t is quite
as stylish as the other materials and as
becoming, but 1t Is apt to be hot even in
the thin quality. However, ii is necessary
for any woman who expects to do much
long distance touring in the summer TO have
one such coat, as it is the only material
excepting the heavy leather which is a
protection against storm.
All of the coats of the materials men
toned are made somewhat in the same
fashion, which is characterized principally
by a fat effect across the front and a
somewhat snusger appearance at the waist
line than was formerly in vogue. OF course,
there are many box 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
Of the water throughout the season; but
from Paris has come more than one hint
that smaller and smaller sleeves are to be
expected. Exciting reports that all French
sleeves are on the decrease are driving dis
tracted the women who wish TO be up with
the season ana yet not beyond IT; for in
the realm of dress it 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 in accord with the best of fashions
around one However, a good solution is TO
be moderate in ones dress-as in all things
else A moderate sized sleeve that is well
cut and becoming TO the figure Is sure to
last out the season and may easily be all
tered for next year Besides, 1t Is much
more comfortable than small sleeve
Tan and red are the fayorite automobile
colors of the season. Both hues are seen
In many shades. but the favorites are In the
tan. q warm, yellowish tone. somewhat like
that of the mustard of past seasons but
less violent, and in the reds the darker less
conspicuous hues. Purplish reds and deep
tones of Japanese red are popular. The
two coiors tan and red are also used to-
gether on many garments, the red being
used as piping on the tan and the tan on
the red

the winter ones. The plain colors are pre-
ferred to the figured. and the solid colors,
such as blue, tan and gray, are as much
in favor as they were years ago. The diff
ferent shades of blue are marvellous and
apparently endless in number. The bright
blue that has been fashionable all summer
Is not quite so popular just now, a rather
darker shade having taken its place.
The trimming of black braid, or of some
fancy black braid with little color in it.
on the coat is one OF the noticeable fea
lures of this style-perhaps not so new as
some others, but a most noticeable point
regards the blue. In the gray and tan
the fayorite trimmings for the summer
the fancy braids. of which great quantities
are used of shade, or rather shades, sew
eral degrees lighter than the material. The
short coat deliberately trimmed with this
braid and the skirt trimmed to match is a
more elaborate style than any other cloth
costume possesses. The long coats also
are trimmed with the braid--that is, the
medium length three-quarter 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 accordingly.

laid in close folds, somewhat in the shape
OF elaborate yachting cap, are shown in
all cOiors. They have no trimming except
the folds. The same design is made up in

On the whole the hood is more popular
than the veil this year. 1t has been found
TO be much more of a protection to the
hair and face. Besides, IL has the ad-
vantage of being exclusively an automobile
property, whereas ordinary persons who
never go out in automobiles can and do
indulge in automobile wells to an extent
that is alarming to genuine enthusiast.
Nevertheless, 1t must be confessed that
the wells are most attractive, and nothing
has ever been seen that improved the APP
pearance of the average woman more, so
that opinion on the question of wells and
hoods Is divided between those who wish
TO be beautiful and those who prefer to be
smart.
Among the veil devotees the dotted de-
signs are now most popular. A new order
of chiffon veil has been invented which
will not lose its beauty with the dampness.
Green among colors is rather to be avoided

time, or they are gathered at top and bot
tom with narrow elastic. The top elastic
is placed around the hat and the bottom one
under the chin. The crown of the hat alone
shows above the veil/ In which the entire
head of the wearer Is inclosed. The veil
is sewed up the back and slipped over the

justed.

M TAKING OF A CITY BEAUTIFUL.

Americas could indeed be made
a Getty beautiful" were proper eff
forts taken in that direction, as
will undoubtedly be done as the
city's financial condition improves.
Already much has been accom-
plished in this direction, as a drive
on many of our residence streets
will prove. A city without trees
and grass may be- city of indus
try and activity, but with it's bar
rem streets and cherries yards, hot
and dusty in summer and cold and
forbidding in winter, it is not a
city of attractive homes or inVit
ing appearance, pleasing and rest
full to the eye and inspiring content
and cheerfulness. Where the beau
ties of nature are altogether elimi-
mated an unsatisfying condition is
created. The love of the beautiful
is often unconscious, and should be
developed and encouraged, because
it has a practical as well as an
aesthetic value. Even barn or a
warehO use should be built with a
due regard for harmony, proper
ton and restful lines. Cleanliness
and beauty are necessary to the
best thought and action. Trees,
parks, grass, fountains, statues,
flowers, attractive lawns, yards
and gardens, clean streets-these
are surroundings that lead to a
higher appreciation of beauty in
it's multitudinOus forms, and con
tribute to the cheerfulness and con
tentment of individuals and com
munities. A year or two of edu-
cation and organized effort would
make Americas indeed a lefty
beautiful"
