dentally a great many china ones), bone
buttons smoked pearl buttons, cloth-cov-
cred buttons. gilt. steel, rhinestone and jet
buttons and in every conceivable size. Put
ting several buttons in clusters seems to be
a fad, and although II is rather an incon-
gruous fad. anything that is effective passes
muster: and certainly this. as has been said
Is effective. And yet with 1t all no gowns are
made to button: they all hook and jackets
also hook. and in such fashion that the fas-
tening does not show. On collars and cufs
rows of tinv buttons are used. while both
collars and cuffs are fastened with hooks
and loops. although the buttons have APP
parently loops for themselves. Even the
simplest of these street gowns are orna-
mented in many instances by several dozen
buttons.
Conservative taste is rapidly becoming
very prevalent. however. and 1t is extremely
interesting to note the growing demand for
extremely simple fashions Of all kinds espe-
cially when intended for street wear. The
chances are by next winter there will be
quite revolution in many respects as re-
CARDS dress. AS an example of quick revo-
luton in dress take the matter of hats
alone. At the beginning of the season they
could not be small enough; as the summer
advances there is no limit to the size, which
grows apace until We are threatened with
an epidemic of the most enormous mon
strosities. So in choosing materials. or mod
els for clothes it Is always wisest and es-
pecially at the moment. to see Ii among all
the hundreds OF fashions exhibited there
cannot be found something that is smart
and becoming without being conspicuous
either for its color or shape: and when trim
ming is used that shall not be conspicuous.
either except for it's beauty.
Even the most unframed taste inclines to-
ward good lines rather than to yards and
yards of gaudy trimming on badly cut
and badly hung skirt. And with this button
craze it is well to choose carefully before
covering the skirt of what otherwise would
be a smart but simple gown with SO many
buttons as to make the wearer look like an
advertisement for that particular style.

waistcoats or fancy fronts that are in
marked contrast to the color or the mate

fronts is often most exquisite in design

beauty of the costume. while again the

As the season advances IL might be
thought that the reign of short jackets
would come to an end and that once again
long coats would make their appearance,
but as yet the line is sharply drawn be-
tween the long coat that is now indispen-
sable to wear over the smart gown and the
same little jacket that can be fanciful
as the heart of dressmaker can possibly
devise. There is. indeed. an endless vari-

Cheviots and tweeds are too heavy for
most summer weather, but in these mate
rails as In all others there are many diff
ferent grades of weight. and these gowns
are not so impossible might be mag
ined The most expensive qualities are
the coolest, although they are so light In
weight as to be rather deceptive. as they
possess more warmth than a material that
apparently is twice as thick. When the
serges are used the rater finer cords are
preferred this year, because the heavier
ones have been more associated with winter
wear. Plain cheviots, that is. plain color.
are used for yachting gowns and FOR such
purposes generally, while the serges are
made up into travelling gowns or into the
everyday runabout suits so to speak,
that have the smart little coats. with col

and are used for the short costumes,

for travelling yachting or any out-of-door
sport the short skirt is far smarter than
the long one. This sounds like a very
sweeping statement, but none the less it
is a fact that late in the season as it is
to have costumes made up, still at this
moment there are no end of exceedingly
smart costumes being turned out and all
with the short skirt Be II understood
tnat these are not the elaborate gowns
that are worn for afternoon or evening, but
are intended for practical use. The ma
jority of women realize that for travelling
in and out of town on trains there is no
sense in the long sweeping skirt. and, after
ALL IT is what is suitable in tuesdays that
is prominently fashionable.
All sorts and kinds of materials go into
the construction OF the short costumes.
No longer is it necessary to choose with
great care material that will prove
equally serViceable for coat and skirt so
much has the art of dressmaking and
tailoring advanced that II is taken for
granted that any fabric chosen must, or
course, be made up to look well. The
heavy weight cloth is not to be thought
of for hot weather, and neither is the
heavyweight serge comfortable to wear,
but there are many weights of cloth and
serge that would seem especially well
adapted for cool days In summer, and they
are consequently included in the list.
Homespun is a favorite material also, and
although IL looks warm 1t is in reality
that is the quality that is fashionable
nova delightful summer material, for
the mesh is open so that the air can pass
through, and even for the hottest days a
coat and shirt of homespun seem to come
into play.
