LONDON FASHIONS.
BY MAY DAWSON.


will be a feature of the seaside toilettes
this year. They differ from the ordi-
nary floral costumes as the design
which represents as flower border is
only to be found at the hem of the
skirt
The garden gown is one of the dain-
test fashions. we have seen for long
time" a West End cOstumier said the
other day.
THE finest white or pale colered
muslin is used, decorated with a hand
painted floral border, and it is interest
ing TO note that the old-fashiOned
flowers are most in request.
Crimson peoples were worn at the
royal garden party. The Duchess of
Montrose was in her favorite shade of
mauve with a trimming of silver and
mauve feathers in her toque. Her
daughter, Lady Helen Graham, was in
black and striped wolfe with perriot
ruffle and black and white mushroom
hat; her sash was of blue. The Count
ess of Ancaster. all in black with black
plUmes in her toQue. brought Lady
Alice Drummond Willoughby in pale
pink inserted in lace, and hat a crown
of pink roses and green leaves. Lady
HaddO was in a gown of lace with
periwinkle blue feathers in a gray hat.
Princess Alexis of DolgOrouki who
came with the prince, was in pale-hued
muslin and tOQue of straw with
plumeS The Countess of Jersey wore
silver gray satin. Miss Winifred En-
cry. who was with Mr.. Cyril Maude.
wore striped white and green and
high-CrOWned white hat. Mrs. Charles
Murray of TaymOunt was in delicate
mauve yelled in lace hat to match.
Lady Dimsdale was in black lace over
a white gown, lowered chine and small
straw bonnet. Lady Carews dress
was of finely striped pink and white
silk worn with a big picture hat. Lady
McLaren was in pale-hued taffetas
silk. Mrs. Humphrey Ward wore pearl
| gray and gray ruffle. One of the pref
! test frOCks was a semi-empire of white
! Irish lace with narrow high wasted
sash of white satin and high-crowned
| white chip hat hidden in tall white
| lilies with yellow centers. Another
! smart toilette of white broderie an
glaise was wOrr with d cutaway coat
of royal purple silk and purple straw
| hat and feathers. A reseda green tot
| lette i'm silk, heavily trimmed with lace
/ of the same shade, looked well with
/ green shoes and green plumed hat. A
/ long three-quaTter coat of lace with
! collar revers and cuffs of old ruse was
| effective over muslin gown with
/ hat of old rose. Pearl. gray-blue and
/ old rose were the favorite colors and
/ some beautiful black and white lace
| gowns over white were worn. A num-
| Der of hand-painted muslins were to
/ be seen, and mauve mousseline de sole
yelling. Pale blue was most effective
| A black and white striped silk muslin
| was smart with a deep band of pale
| blue satin at the foot. and narrower
] bands edging the arm holes: and a
/ white chiffon gown had a border on it
/ at the foot of chine pink roses and
was worn with a pink hat Very strik-
| ing was a severely plain toilette of
| fine black panne. the Japanese loose
sleeves edged with heavy gold lace and
| worn with large black hat with
/ floating veil
! The subject Of muslin has been a far
/ more pleasing theme during the last
/ few days than hitherto, owing to the
| fact that the sun has vouchSafed to
! smile somewhat warmly upon us at
! last. Striped muslins have gained an
| asCendanCy that is remarkable. but
none the less a little wearisome though
! the cool gray and white and blue and
| white patterns and a less frequently
seen and very refreshing pale green
| and white one are very pretty.
| Spotted musIins and marquisettes are
/ however going to have their day. They
are charminglv dainty for the spot is
Garned upon the material and bears
uncommon beauty and the colors are
| lovely.
| A fascina ting little COatee for out
door wear is The new jockey model a
semi-htung wrap that just reaches to
within half an inch of the natural
| waist line. The fronts are cut away to
show waistcOat. and when carried
out in silk or cloth with trimmings of
gagged silk upon the former and gaily
COlOred Byzantine embroidery made OF
tufts of different colored cloths upon
the latter, the Vestment is an entirely
novel and very desirable one to wear.
l am asked whether the elbow sleeve
is banished by fashion. By no means
All that has happened is that the pen
dulum has swung back to the long
sleeve, and those women who are al
| ways anxious TO obey fashions latest
mandates are wearing it,
At the same time many of the best
dressed women have steadily refused
to bare their arms during the day
time, ever since the curtailed sleeve
appeared. and have shown good taste
to refuse its hard and unbecomfne
lines upon their tailor-made dresses,
/ Nevertheless a new glove with z
gauntlet has been this season specially
designed to be worn with a taiiOr-made
dress, the sleeves of which stop mid
way between the elbows and the
wrists. AS a rule a very hard and
ugly effect is given to the arms ii
gloves that are tucked beneath sucf
sleeves as these are worn. The new
gauntlet glove has a specially intro
duced gusset- which makes ii fit vel
over the sleeve and look as smart as
smart can be.
l interviewed a number of motor
hats for summer wear the other day
and found that the cloche shapes i.
quite the best for the purpose. The
tUrned-doWn bTim is not too large tC
be cumbersome, but shady enough t.
afford protection to the eyes. and there
is infinite variety in the way in which
IL is treated.
Some brims are siashed up the sides
others are brought upwards at the
back so that they lie densely upon the
sides of the crown, and very different
materials are USED to make the shape
from Tyrian silk to reindeer.
All the latest productions are draped
with a voluminous veil or rather g
double veil, for the new pattern has a
hanging front almost to the waist, as
well as the back hood and ends that
are brought in front and tied beneath
