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


New York, Aug 3.-Light striped
wool or coarse pongee makes up nine
out of ten of the smartest suits worn
by out-of-towneTs for day runs into
the city this summer. Last year and
the year before it saw linen the leader
for such purposes but the present sea-
son has given linen a second place.
Women are a little tired of the endless
cleaning and pressing required to keep
the linen suit in the order which re-
quires it to be slightly.
The wool suit with a white ground
crossed by pale toned stripes with just
black or gun metal enough blended in
to give character is always useful. 1t
is light and comfortable for walking,
and if a cool breeze springs up towards
night it Is distinctly comfortable.
Moreover, when 1t once gets soiled it is
easily cleaned. It is, in fact easily
home cleaned Everybody has her own
favOrite cleansing fluid, and often soap
and water and a sponge are better than
that But linen once soiled must be
cleansed thoroughly all over for per-
feet freshness. G.,.s
The pongees have had and. If the
outlook holds good, will continue to
have a strenuous use. They are light
TO wear, show soil. as little as anything
of comparatively delicate nature can
and wear well if the material is select
ed with any kind of care.
Plain. serge. trimmed, with soutache
or narrow bands. of black taffeta put
on in, conventional patterns has been
taking the attention of women who
like sturdy CLOTHES for such practical
uses as travelling and general running
around. A useful little. suit is Of khaki
colored serge trimmed with taffeta
strapping to. match, put on in lattice
design.
A trim ,giTliSh getqp just taken to
the seaside is of smercerized linen In
the new brown that yerges on CHINA
mon, but is rather richer in color 1t
is of jumper persuasion, trimmed with
narrow black folds, and is worn with a
black hat and a white lingerie blouse
finished with tiny black velvet but
tons.
The touch of black which is so fash
ionabie a feature of the summer gowns
may be used to good advantage in
skirts, that are to be worn in the grass
and are in danger Of staining. A band
of black around the fenl,- with a. band
of lace or embroidery. above it, gives
a very, smart air to a good many kinds
of skirts. Then give the bodice a touch
of black and the two will be in keep
ing. A really stunning little frock of
will be used a good deal in walking on
the grassy lawn this summer has a
black taffeta hem on the skirt about
two inches wide, and above it bank
of thick lace. The waistcOat is of
black taffeta embroidered with sulphur
yellow roses and finished with Dresden
buttons. With the frock goes a hat of
fine white straw lined with black and
trimmed with a big crown of roses.
Long black gloves and a yellow para
sol also go with the costume.
Another frOck of similar tendency is
Of pale blue muslin pin-dotted with
black, The skirt has the black hem,
above which are three simulated tucks
of plain muslin in ivory. green and
mauye, the colOrs all being very soft
and blending we'll A sash of Chine
silk repeats all of these tones. The sash
has a black border.
The WaistcOat is becoming more and
more in evidence in late summer suits.
One described by an onlooker at Long
champs was made of an embroidered
Spanish shawl of characteristic crude
coloring, bordered with dark blue satin
and buttoned with the same color. 1t
was worn with simple navy blue
skirt and coat. The hat was of dark
hOrsehair, trimmed around the crown
with great clusters of shaded blue by
drangeas lightly yelled with blue tulle
Bright printed materials are being
used in France for the waistcoat worn
with plain tailor-mades. Lace, such as
Irish point and Cluny, is also made up
over silk for the little waistcoats
which are either actualities or effects.
Handsome brocades and rich embroi-
deries are also employed for the pur-
pose. -, -o
Masses of feathers in outstanding ar
engagements are the most sensational
hat trimmings prepared for midsummer
and early fall millinery. In these COZ,
marabou,- eassowary and blondines are
the leaders, and all of them come in all
oolors. The new ostrich aigrettes, too,
are in high favor.
With the masses of feathers, huge
bows, wide draperies and clumps of
flowers that are used for the fashion
able hat this summer the crown is not
much in evidence, but if the prophets
who have lately come from Paris can
be believed, the crown will be the lead
ing feature of the hat as soon as fall
millinery comes in The newest hats
show the trend towards voluminous
trimmings. The mushroom is fast tax
ing its departure.
Wide cFumpled ribbons are greatly in
evidence, and the newest and smartest
hat bows are not wired. There is evil
dence that the ribbons for fall will
have more body ~------
The aigrette made. of ostrich barbs
is fast gaining favor. 1t comes in
small and huge feather buster arrange
ments, and all. coiors. A great many
fashionable hats made of white natural
colored or tinted straw have black
facings.
Manufacturers of cloaks and suits are
now beginning to show extensive lines
for the coming fail and winter months.
The two-piece suits for winter wear
are very prominent, while outside gar
ments in the way of separate coats will
be more elaborate than usual Manu-
facturers are also turning out quite
large quantities of separate coats
which closely resemble fur in their
make up. The palmer coats will also
be largely used in semi-f1tting and tai
tornado Effects. g.
JewelIsd sets. for shirts and shirt
waists comprise studs for the front or
a stickpin, cuff. links and collar but
tons, and come in all of the popular
colored stones. such as cats eye. ame-
thyst, turquoise, jade etc. The stones
are large.
