Y. M. c. A. YACHT CRUISE TO JAMESTOWN

New York, June 15.---The Young Mems Christian Association started today novel undertaking in cruises from New York to Jamestown and back on the yacht Amazon, which was presenter to the association last year. The cruises are outlined to take thir teen days, and there will be five trips to Jamestown during the summer The Amazon will accommodate twen- ty-five men on each cruise, those who make the trip doing seamens duty, standing watch, assisting with the sails, manning the small boats, run hing the launch and doing the lighter wor kabout the vessel. The heavy work will be done by a small crew of sailors

less-it is poor consolation for as T matter of fact, extra bouffancy in areases the figure even a little of it, to an alarming degree. Most of the styles invented, past and present, have been for the Lydia Languish type, and the beauty of plunpness has no influ- eaee on the schemes of designer and draper.
 Vests are quite a feature of the new summer gowns. Any amount of work is put upon them although we see those of striped or plain shantung ornamented solely with smoked or plain white pearl buttons The most chic, probably, are those i'll embroid- cred pique. Often times the vest is made with a cotton back and sleeve less and again it is stitched in under the arms of corsage, to be removed when cleaned. The scarlet and green vests are both very elegant, and with morning costumes we see very many of them.
 Coarse alpaca resembling granite cloth will be much used for travelling. This is self trimmed, is made with trotteuse skirt, as the French call the new walking skirt, and is general ly worn with a long, plain coat with pockets across the bust. When but tons are employed, it will be those covered with cloth, but big white pearl buttons are so elegant and so becom- ing, so sought for, that more than probable by midsummer they will be largely used by all.
 Every day now sees more new fa- brics in the smart street costumes, especially those intended for after noon wear. The plainer tailored gowns for the morning wear are all on the same order, more or less, but the more elegant fashions, suitable for the afternoon are to be seen ill great variety. The three-piece costume skirt, waist and coat to correspond are this year considered the smart est. The coat is short and more or less fancifully trimmed Sometimes the goWn is of one material and the coat of another and at present the fancy silk coats are most popular. To be original seems to be the aim and end of the designer. They try various methods to obtain effective results. Cloth or yelling skirts with short braided cloth jackets find many enthusiasts who exclairn over the beauty and originality of the design.
 Yelling gowns, with heavily braided silk or cloth jackets are among the latest fashions, and here again there is opportunity for color schemes without end. A brown yelling made up over a much lighter shade Of brown has a cloth jacket of the lightar shade, almost entirely covered with aa intricate pattern of sontache braid, the belt, if there is a belt worn, is

THE SUMMER
 GIRLS OUTFIT The Shantug Frocks Are Be ing Made Up for Summer and They Are Very At tractive.
RUSTY GOLD POPULAR
Vests Feature in New Summer Gowns-Vehing GOwns-Waiking Skirts-Innumerabl Soft Plain
 Materials in All Spring Colorings.
The Shantug frocks that are being

The Shantug frocks that are being made up for summer are very attrac. tive. The garnitu:es that are most a la mode is lidet lace-the coarse genre that closely resembles net work ed over. It is really modification of old-world mosquito netting with finer mesh. Use for yokes, for panels of sleeves or skirts, the fillet is charm ing. A dress does not need large quantity to secure good effect. The plaid and striped Shantungs are fash ionable no less than those of solid colors in dyes, and is most seductive color sin dyes, an dis most seductive in Natter blue, in groseille or goose berry, in cyelamen pink and ill serpent green. The new color, rouille, ap- pears to embrace all others, for 1t might be almost anything one choose to call it, bordering closely upon buff cotton goods of it are about as pretty as silk or Woolen.
 Quanties of rusty gold are put upon summer gowns, whether in braids or embroidery. The idea is 8 pretty one, for, harmonizing with evening, it lights 70 color and paradoxical as it may sound, robs it at the same time of any loudness.. Some silver is in evidence, but for popularity it has no place with gold.
 Couturiers are putting so much gar niture about the armholes of cor sages that it is almost absurd Often the round piece stands out a full quar- ter of a yard under the sleeve. This is effective and agreeable for the slender woman, but for the woman who longs to be rid of forty ponnds-more or

'of a dark orange color, the only tint
 of contrast among the different
 browns. Of necessity the braide1
 jackets are expensive for the work $
 done by hand, but, again, it is possi-
 ble to adapt this same fashion. There
 can be less braid and wider used, and the pattern chosen can be of sim pier design.
 Colored silk coats, with hat to match, are again to be ill fashion. Certainly the style is an effective one and at the same time is practical, for with a smart little coat and hat a gown that in itself lacks quality, that renders ineffective eau be transform ed into most charming costume.
 Last summer the fashion was attempt ed, but was so badly carried out that it met With little success. Now it is being revived again. but with mannish changes and bids fair to be popular Again all the new shades of brown can be utilized and the brown hats for the moment are supreme. But they are being closely followed by the new shades of blue which are effea- tive that it viii not be long before every woman thinks it essential to her happiness to wear blue hat with blue jacket. The gown itself in that case should be of blue but of a lighter shade.
 Another striking feature of the present modes, both for tailor gowns
 and other costumes, will be the uni versal prevalence of stripes, chiefly,
 perhaps, in black and white and in
 grey and white, which last is the new CT combination. We see them on all sides and in every material, running
 simply in downward direction, some
 times horizontally, or again diagonal ly, or yet again with carefully mitre l
 points. 4 vast amount of ingenuity
 has been expended on the designing
 of these striped gowns, and in many
 instances they are trimmed only with WlUe otldpplllSS Ol lUe materials, ,1
 which the stripes run horizontally
 bordered with other strappings of the
 narrower width, cut on the cross so
 that the stripes come out diagonally
 and in this way form 6 very effective
 scheme of decorations. Shantung
 silk with stripes ill chestnut brown
 on cream silk will make delightful
 frocks for the summer and galatea stripes in cotton will be largely worn,
 as we'll as the dainty muslins with fairly wide stripes in pale shades of pink, green, mauve and blue CD i white ground.
 Plain skirts with much trimmed coats are considered extremely smart this season, and are made in many different colers and fabrics. The light weights ill cloth and serge in solid color are the most generally used for this style, and both light and dark

color is in demand There is always demand for white and blue gowns, ln this order. and strange as 1t may seem When it is remembered how long the fashion has been popular, the white and blue costmue in serge has not lost it's hold on popular fancy. A very effective serge suit in white has a plain skirt, but so perfectly is 1t cut and does 1t. hang that it draws at tentiou and admiration at d glance. 1 lHe jacket has q loose back, indeed IS loose fitting back and front, vet is cut to indicate the lines of the figure and is i'll the sack coat order. Short It yet hides the waistline and is slashed at the side seams. 1t is trim med elaborately With braid of the same color, unless a color like dark blue has been chosen for the gown, Ill which case the braiding eau be done ill black. This model, however, LOOKS best made up in white of some 1 light or bright shade. The new reds are attractive, but the greys and diff 1efent tones of white are fashionable most fashionable of all This model may be copied both in silk and linen as so much use of braiding and lace can be employed to make it effective and expensive.
 Adapting the models to different materials is all art istelf and one that anyone With q little care and thought l can easily learn, Braiding is used on all kinds of material so one can not go far astray in copying a cloth gown, and one is quite safe in the use of embroidery and lace When it is remembered how silk is used OH cloth and cloth on silk. velvet on tilmy lace, cloth on the muslins, silks on the linens, where is the spot that one can go wrong On if figure, good taste and coloring be well looked to-
 Many of the pretty walking skirts this season are of voile or Panama cloth. plain and figured. And innum- erable soft, plain materials in all the beautiful spring colorings. plaids, stripes and mixtures are now used in the greatest profusion. Any of these will be effective made up with pleats pressed into position from there to the hem. The model for this style was in dull green figured vojIe, trimmed around the bottom with bias bands of taffeta silk. The imported models all show many pleated designs-side pleated, box pleated and pleated in clusters or With pleated panels set in. These pleats give such a good op- portHnity to secure the desired full- ness around the bottom of the skirt that they are very popular.
