Fashions From Three Centers
PARIS FASHIONS.
BY MADAME PARoulN.

Paris, June 15.-Gowns of the palest
mauve, pink and blue muslin, are near
ly all supplemented with little dddi-
tiOnal wraps in the for moi pelerine
fichus of fine black silk tulIe. finished
at the edge with wide rilche and
drawn tightly over the shoulders. The
fichu Is caught in at the back with d
jeweled buckle composed of Cashmere
crystals, rhinestones or amethysts, and
terminates in long sash ends which fall
to the foot of the gown. A large pink
La France or deep red rose catches
the fichu in front, while the effect is
still further accentuated by an i'm
mense hat of the mob-cap persua sion
formed of white crinoline with crown
of black tulle illusion and trimmed
with cluster of pink or red roses.
Pink ivy geraniums are destined TO
play very important role in the
scheme of La Mode this year, and the
enormous quantities used for a single
hat, especially when the flowers are
carried out in velvet, have consider
able influence on the price. The flowers
with their pretty trailing leaves are
heaped on the top of the Undetermined
hats, little either of the crown or hrim
being visible, while in some cases they
are held in place with a bow of green
velvet in the same tone as the leaves,

pleting the scheme. AS a matter of
fact. these long ribbon streamers are
becoming very important component
part of the new hats. They are either
tied closely little above the nape Of
the neck, the ribbons being brought
from under the brim on either side,
the bow is placed On the bandeau a
little to one side, the ends falling over
the shoulder
There is a pronounced tendency on
the part of some of the Partisan tailors
to accentuate the length of the skirt
behind so as to give quite the effect of
train without in any way recalling
the round-trained skirt of nine or ten
years ago. The material appears to be
draped in a subtly Skillful manner so
that it terminates in a fold forming a
point, while another favorite method
of achieving this end is that of intro
ducing a graduated panel brought from
the top of the waist belt in the form
of an inverted "" and continued to
the hem of the skirt, where it ends in
another ''V'shaped point.
Spotted lines promise to justify the
prophecies that were made concerning
their advent earlier in the season. One
OF the most favored examples which
has been evolved for country wear is
the periwinkleblue or poppy-red linen.
adorned with pea-sized spots in a light
biscuit color while another novelty
which is, however, not quite so distinc-
tive, is that of pale lilac and gray and
pale salmon and gray.
A new coiCr which is coming much
to the fore where short wraps are con-
cerned is that of the cucumber green
cloth. This has been exploited with
considerable success as the basis of the
short cape coats of light and fine soft
cloth, still so fashionable, and which
will form more or less the recognized
supplemental wraps during the sum-
mer season. These little garments
which can, however. only be worn over
gowns in white, dove gray. or the pal
est mauYe or lavender-are all cut i'm
one with the sleeves and appear almost
seamless. The only permissible adorn-
ment is that of the Irish crochet dyed
to match, the Introduction even of the
favOrite black piping or edging robing
of the wrap of the exact degree of
smartness with which the peculiarly
vivid shade Of green instinctively en-
dOws it.
The new parasols are almost without
exception supplemented with immense
ly long sticks, the tops taking all man
ner of fanciful forms, generally of an
archaeological description. With sim
pie cotton dresses, however, the plain
crystal or chased gold knob surmount-
ing the long ebony stick appears to be
the favOrite, while new idea is that
of tying bunch of black velvet pop
pies with golden centers midway in
the center of the stick, with a small
bow of shot black and gold ribbon

elaborate description of sunshade was

The long chain purse has struck
Paris for the second time within the
past five years. Now that the chain
is exaggerated. being all of half ward
in length, and to be carried correctly
it must be wound round the fingers
several times. The more costly the
purse the more elongated the chain.
The purses intended for the pocket
only have no appendage, but the
tradespeople run up the price anyway.
The purse with the chain is of white
velvet dotted with gold. The thread
like chain is of gold with enameled
white stones. Swiss pebbles are much
used for these chains. and a very dain-
ty effect they have. too They are not
