 Although the separate skirt knows no season of its own, # is going to ae much in demand fer summer wea@. The vogue of the separate c0a, pge- suppose this. and th2 charming sep arate h.ftwaists and lingerie coatea- tions also make if q necessity. The separate skirt ts mada tr many time, in the many yMietjse and of all com binations inc black and white checks seem t7 be ahead of lhp others. SeI strappiAes in folds and cFoSs-5and9 are the favored trimmings. In modes the pIeatad skirt is the most called for and its length depends upon the time of day it is to be worn. but it IS only for the evening that it is allow ed to train. The newest development is the high almost Empire lines at the back graduating to the normal waist line in the front.
 There is a new collar on French blouses. II is of transparent lace yer yhigh under the ears and shaped to the chin at the front. IL is bonea and finished at tbe top with q band of silk or velvet.
 Coats modelled to the figure without a crease are the latest demand of Paris fashionables for their tailor mades. But these severe styles are 1 pltlless in setting off defects of the figure with as much accuracy as they depict grace of line Ii looks now as though the severe tailormadcs would lead for street wear next fall and win ter. Some of the triggest suits hailing from Paris now are of striped fine wools made with the greatest simplic- ity a trimming of bands of the same fabric and now and then of black satin on collar and vest being the only fur l bishing, and more often then not even these are wanting.
 One thing that has revived the pop ularity of the tight-fitting coats is the reduced waistline When the straight front corset of few years back was at it's worst. there was but a small proportion of the feminine world that could wear a close fitting wrap to ad- vantage. The corset of today has changed all this.
 l Fortunately for all manners and conditions of women, coats of all types and shapes are possible this season The well-shaped woman can wear her tight-fitting coats while the woman with defects can hide them under the full coat or ripping little wrap of the jaunty styles now worn.
 Jumper dresses are going to De worn by all classes and ages of Wome1 this summer. There is something

FASHION LETTER-

Never has the choice of dress fabrics been more pronounced than this spring in clinging stuffs. In contrast to the old days when silks Band other materials stood alone, to- day the styles demand those goods that lay close to the figure and are capable of much drapery if neces- sary and many pleats. Of course one could always get the softer goods, but now it is to be remarked that the best materials of all classes are as flimsy as chiffon.
 Stripes and checks continue to gain in popular favor, the newest patterns showing small contrasting dots scattered between the checks or stripes. Subdued tones of ashen grey, pigeon grey, iron grey and moonstone are among the newest shades. Rosewood, burnt orange and apricot are found among the shOWier effects. For street wear voiles, mohairs and lightweight worsteds hold favor over other ma terials. Flax flower, honey, maize dull rose and Indian red are much used for the afternoon costume Pinks in all their tints are Ieing used, but more often in connection With browns or greens and so,ac- times black.

Up most charmingly in such ma teflais as volle chepe de chine and yelling; very little trimming is used on these red costumes eXcent some self embroidery and perhaps one or two beautiful buttons on the coat part. Gold ds a trimming for the dull fabrics is still in high favor and particularly is this noticeable Ill the soutaches and vestings which give so chic finish to Eton suits of this season.
 A few words must be said for the foulards. Last year they were revived to the great satisfaction of all women who have ever had a foulard, for their wearing qualities, are great. Then, the manufac- tuners have found a new process by the means of which the new goods are spot proof especially to that of water. Shower-proof foul- ards they are called, and some of them are so light in weight that they could be drawn through tEe proverbial wedding ring Some of the designs are rather larger than those of last year, but the favorite is dot OF irregular spot with small dashes. The favorite trimming for the foulard gown is of lace, which is supposed to give it just the right tone. Princess point, baby
