DICTATES OF FASHION.

Many eolored linens are made in the
Jumper effect to give the relic wing touch of
lingerie or lace near the face. in yoke OF
underblouses
Unless a woman can drape a fichu grace
fully and Is of a slender. wlllowy type it is
well TO avoid this prevailing fashion of the
moment. When 1t is becoming there Is
something peculiarly coquettish in the
hchus and draped scarf effects that are SO
popular just now.
Pale blue seems to be first choice when
a bit Of color is needed. but khaki Is also
popular. Khaki linen, braided or embroid-
cred in white, makes an excellent trim
ming for a white linen and there are some
pretty striped stuffs showing white stripes
on a khaki ground.
Rather important sashes appear on some
of the frocks for younger women-one In
opaleseent moire, with a black hem. has a
black tassel at each point OF the forked
"swallow-tai1" into which the ends are
cut. Another. also OF MORE on a little

The loose coat. sleeveless sometimes,
three-ouarter length, simple In outline and
emlnently picturesque, js beloved OF Paris
iennes nowadays, and is largely braided,
not only with big motifs Of soutache, but
all over. in a fashion now forgotten for a
good many years, ind very well 1t looks.
Later on for autumn suits this style will
prove effective worn with a plain skirt,
and now In thick corded silk. with silken
braid. over n fllmy gown it Is very success
full. Bodices Of gowns are sometimes
treated In the same way, and little capes
and coatees. but the long wrap Is the
slnartest. The soutache matches in tint.
The dress foundation Of chiffon cloth is
made In princess pattern with a high
collar. The lace formation is merely a
bodice. shaped not unlike a corset. The
front is low Will long tab ends. This Is
supported around the neck and over the
shoulders with velvet ribbon. possibly two
inches wide. The piece which comes around
the neck divides the lace bodice down the
front. being plated and fastened through
the middle with a long pin, giving the ap-
pearance of a long, narrow buckle. The
skirt Is trimmed with an insertion of lace
similar TO the lace of the bodice. Velvet
ribbon Is also used upon the short lace
sleeves.
One may feast the eye on many u pretty
concelt. yet nothing any prettier than a
simple little surplice suit of pink and
mauve ninon In tiny checks as small as
the smallest shepherds plaid. This jaunty
little frock was made with a plated skirt
and a surplice waist, the sleeves being
formed jap style with the plated whist
portions. Bordering the sleeves were folds
OF plain mauve ninon edged with an inser-
ton Of Irish point. The front Of the sur
plIce was outlined with a plain band Of
the mauve. while the vest to the waist
was Of Irish point allover. The plated
belt was finished at the front with an
immense buckle Of frosted silver.
THE little bolero that has been with
US for many years has certainly taken
flight" writes a Paris correspondent. "Ex-

at all. The costume most a la mode at
present is that Of the long jacket effect

the ines of the hips and waist. The eff

apes the raglan and with all its blouslness
is pretty apt to lapse into autumn modes.
On a slim woman of graceful ensemble
the long Jacket is very smart. but the

have her Jacket cut to the lines of her
figure"
