- y AVE you seen the Claddagh coaks?
They are the newest and smart
est things out. few of the
good shops have woke up to the
fact that such a wrap exists, but
the first view of the newcomer was vouch-
safed those of US in outer darkness by
woman who brought one over the other day
from London. They are very comfy, as
our English cousins say and charming on a
graceful, tall figure. The cloak L hd the
pleasure of inspecting was of soft Whlte

who were blue about the lips in their gos-
samer attire, were not wrapped in the soft
woolness of one of these cloaks. Another
late conner in the fashion field +; the sweet
pea bridesmaid fan. but the early autumn
weddings will bring out crop of them.
This fan is to take the place occupied oy
the shower bouquet which is often carried
out in these favorite flowers. The floral
fans. too. are being used by smart girls
a the summer dances, AID. strange as IL
may seem, they may be used to summon
very satisfactory breeze. And don't you
think the heart of any nice girl :. ould be
happy if she possessed either both of the
frocks Illustrated. one of white hapdker-
chief linen with an adornment OF huffy
ruffles and the other linen princess frock

For the Dainty Hand.
Very smart English chamoIs gloves in
natural shades and in fawn and light grays.
made elbow length. are worn with anart
tailor frockS and with morning muslins and
linens. Some of them instead of being but
toned are given shape at the wrist by bands
of stitched channels which clasp over from
side to side They are far natter than the
buttoned ones and are just as cheap.
Another novelty in gloves i a biscuit
colored suede elbow glove turned up al the
top with a contrasting shade, such as WINE
or green or blue, to be worn with frocks
to match the turned up part These parts
are by no means cuffs, the effect merely
being that the glove has been turned back
and is showing contrasting lining.
A Doubtful Mode.
In their desire to be up to cate women
are taking tremendous chances 18th their
eyesight and their hair. The double Teii
is a dangerous article. The inner veil is of
net with fine dots, the outer veil of chiffon
with large dots. The double set of dots and
the effort to see through two meshes form
a combination that will boom trade for
oculists and opticians.
The Poets Color.
Yellow of a pronounced type nearly al
ways makes the woman who wears 1t look
sadly out of health. and it is quite capable
of lending to a faultiess complexion many
undesirable tints that It does not really
possess The increasing vogue of all the
yellow and ochre shades must therefore be
regarded as alarming. for if it continues
nothing prevent their being frequently
worn by the wrong women. Yellow is fur
thermore as trying to most shades OF hair
as to compleXions and it IS said that 1t is
only with tie genuinely black hair that 1t
can be altogether successful. i. the pos

chiffon or ninon in one of the pale lemon
shades-the only endurable ones IL this
trying color-have il embroidered with silver
and further adorned with fine valenciennes
lace. But the whole creation to be thor
oughly effective must be as soft and
ethereal as the skill of the yearer and the
art of the couturiere make it.
