NEW YORK, July 2O.-The feature
which lands a charm to feminine
grace more than any other is the fan,
and this is an accessory in this sum-
mer's toilette. The appropriateness of
the fan carried should be the most i'm
portant thing to remember while
choosing one. II it is of good mate
rial, nicely decorated and of a har-
monious color, paper fan may be
just as appropriate as one of silk or
gauZe. Fans of crepe de chine en-
broidered in Japanese design Of
bamboo leaves, the same ornamental
+ ton being carried out tremendously in
the carving of ivory sticks, are very
dainty. These are mostly in white,
but equally as pretty are those en-
brodered in roses in natural colors.
There are fans of sandal wood and Of
chiffon and mousseline. The very
small fans jeweled or set with vanity
mirrors on the outside sticks are only
suitable to be worn with empire gowns,
and indeed, no other fan would be
appropriate.
Fad of Coaching Parasols.
Women are carrying coaching para
soils with very long handles when they
wear tailor-made costumes. The han
dies are of ebony silver banded. crys-
/ tai or jade and are ornamented with
rosettee of satin ribhnn Some of the
very high priced ones are provided
with a large jeweled or gold encrusted
top, which springs open, revealing a
| tiny gilt powder box and nun. The
linen parasol in pure white or match
ing the gown in color is also the proper
thing.
The white or cream mohair skirt is
worn this summer to a great extent
with a batiste, silk or even lace waist.
1t is made ankle length, circular and
prettily f1ared below the hips. II
trimming is desired, folds of seh-toned
taffeta are put on near the bottom, or
mohair or silk galloon makes pref
ty effect
Fancies in Ladies' Stationery.
Stationery has it's fads as well as
clothes, and a woman is often judged
by the writing paper she uses. Note
paper of any positive color, such as
green purple, blue, yellow or the like
is always bad form. Certain neutral
tints are permissible, and gray is the
favorite one just at present. Blue is
also popular, but white is seldom seen
now, owing to another fad, although
it is always good form. The rough
finish rather than the smooth, is the
present fad, but the edges should new
er be rough. Highly scented note pa
per is considered very poor taste.
slight scent is permissible, but IT Is
better to have none at all than too
much. Corresponding cards have again
come into vogue where only few lines
are needed in note. The monogram
should be on the left corner and the
address on the right. White, gold and
| silver are the best colors for stamp
| ing, and blue Is the only shade con-
sidered really good.
A very attractive hat of panama
which has the new drop, is trimmed in
violet louisine ribbon nine inches wide
This is drawn through an oblong gilt
buckle in the front and finished at the
right side with three square loops and
an end held by two punches of hy-
drangeas.
White Shoes Only With White Dresses.
The shoes and stockings of this sum-
mer are shown in many styles, quail
ties and colors. The piazza snoe, that
is, one worn in the afternoon and
every day, has a prominent role in
footgear. The tan shoe takes the lead
over the black one and in walking
shoe the style is, pointed toes, rather
short vamp, high instep and straight
spanish heel. The two favor.te styles
in pumps, is the low-cut vamp and
bediub Spanish heel and a little bow OF
leather on the toe, and the new pump
cut very high in the back, low in
front, finished with an elaborate
buckle above which is close fitting
pointed tongue of leather. White
shoes may be only appropriately worn
with white dress or one which has
flower or line of color through 1T.
Color pumps are worn WIN so"h
and hose to match.
Jewels for Linen Collars.
The jeweled fastener for linen col
lars is now In vogue with all the sum-
ner neckwear. Sleeve links to hold the
collar together top and bottom are
French conceit, and tight little but
terfiy bow of white tulle is fastened
between them. Then there are the
pins and brooches much worn with
different styles of bows. Amethysts,
star sapphires, rubies, emeralds. jade,
lapis iazuli opal and turquoise matrix
are all beautiful and fashionable
stones for collar pins The diamond
horseshoe is great favorite, also the
jeweled circlet showing combination
of stones is particularly attractive
