Fashions From Three Centers
NEW YORK FASHIONS.
BY EDITH RAYMOND.

| ions expressed by leading designers in
the New York cloak and suit houses,
| novelties are to play q prominent part
this fall in the supplementary offerings
to be made in both suits and cloaks.
By purchasing novelty suitings the
cutting up trade has given a definite
significance to the call for these pro-
ducts by the designers. On striped
broadclOths, fancy vOiles. CLEANLINESS and
mohairs and on extreme novelties in
silks and velvets, it is seen that the
trade is preparing for a change in
styles from last years staples. 1t does
not follow. however, that the yardage
on staple fabrics for dresses and cloaks
has been held down.
Most of the cutters in the east real
ize that a large business is almost GER
tain to come to hand on staple lines Of
separate skirts and complete COS
tunes, and are therefore making up
full ranges In the outlook for fall the
use of imitation fur cloths is exceeding
the usual demand. The designers who
have made their early styles in me-
dunn grade cloaks and capes and even
ing wraps are using these special cloths
TO a considerable extent.
Now that sufficient time has elapsed
since the showing of the earlv designs
OH the tailored suits and costumes for
fall by the manufacturers making low
and medium grade goods the attention
of the trade is turning largely to the
separate coats for fall. The importa-
ton of models from Europe is now
reaching a stage where from day to
day the adaptations from the new sea-
sons Partisan styles are arriving for
use in the cutting establishments.
The use of tweed clOakings is re-
commended by those who have made
any study of the present trend of fash
ion on the continent That many of the
American cutters up will take the hint
is shown by circular letters which are
being sent to the trade announcing new
models to be made in the tweed fab
rics The showing in automobile gar
ments for fall will be most complete
on record.
The popularity of this style of gar
ment for wear by people whether own
ers of automobiles or otherwise has
made it one of the most important
features in the ready-made garment
trade Most of the models are importt
ed direct from Europe and are then al
tered slightly TO meet the requirements
of the American trade. The three
quarters length cloak is one of the most
popular for the coming season.
In closing out their lines of cloaks
and suits for the summer manufacture
ers have made some marked conces-
sions to the buyers. This, however,
has not occasioned a shrinkage in the
total value of the spring and summer
seasons output. Much of the early
business was booked in advance. and
in dollars and cents the season of 1907
comes UP to the record of last year On
all white goods, especially in confirma-
ton and graduation dresses for misses,
and in white serge separate skirts for
adults. a heavy seasons business has
been booked.
The clearing up of lines of silk skirts
and dresses in the suit houses is being
accomplished without any sacrifice in
prices. Among the novel dresses of
the present summer are the tailored
suits in all classes of fabrics, with the
hip-length coat in connection with the
panel plated skirt. The style for the
woman OF business and for" general
morning use will be carried over as a
favorite for fall. $500
The bathing suits of the season are
really very attractive creations, many
of which give some suggestion to the
princess idea. A favored one is made

and there is a very generous variety al
lowed in the matter of color and treat
ment. Plain black and dark blues are
always conservative and desirable for
many reasons, but natural cOlored pom
gee is attractive, and checked and
striped materials give effective results.
The demand for printed flower pat
terms in dainty colorings, and the in
termixture of jacquard designs ana
stripes and checks and soft, fieecy ma
terials have brought cottons into great
er prominence than they have known in
modern times. But this summers cot
ton frock is far away from the sweet
simplicity styles of other days. Even
the Young girls dresses is as elaborate
a CONNECTION of embroidery and lace
as the pOcketbOok behind it can fur
nish. Now that the season of garden
parties and summer resort dances is on
we shall see all the cotton and silk
chiffons, mousseiines, voiles, eoliennes,
Swisses and lawns at their best, and
the best" I'm this day seems an eX-
ira va CANT elaboration of needlework
and fine laces.
The printed thin cottons are among
the most fascinating fabrics for sum-
mer gowns A little frock that is going
to a garden party in a few days is of
male green lawn spotted with white,
and made UP with quantities OF tiny
frills edged with Valenciennes lace An
other dress that will be seen on the
same occasion is of white cotton and
silk chiffon painted with roses and
made I'D with rose-colored ribbons. A
Young matron has just had sent home
a cotton grenadine in pale Wedgewood
blue with a satin stripe of darker
shade.
One of the freakish outcroppings of
the time is the use of bright colors for
warm weather toilettes. Cerise chiffon,
for instance, printed with white pin
stripes is making now for a country
club luncheon early next month. The
skirt is full and fitted at the top with
tfny tucks which extend well below the
hips. Around the lower part of the
skirt there are bias bands of the
striped gauze edged with pipings of ce-
rise satin. The full blouse is plated
and is cut open to a deep point at the
neck. This cut-out part is turned back
with q collar of embroidered lawn bOr-
dered with fine insertion, which is
threaded with cerise ribbon and frilled
with Valenciennes lace. There is a vest
of fine lace insertion with high col
lar and a sash of ceriSe chiffon which
reaches nearly to the hem of the gown
in the back.
