Are Being Worn Mucli--Sleeyes Made Longer Than Last SeaSOn-TIe Oyerskirt-The Deep Lace Elounc. ings-Other Fashion Gossip.


 the prices demanded and paid for
 these articles of feminine attire seem . to be exorbitant, at all events they
 show that they are costly. Further
 more, with a smart and becoming
 waist and hat woman can be confi-
 dent that she has the appearance of
 being well groomed.
 Lingerie waists, and, in fact, sep
 arate linen and silk waists of all
 kinds, are at this time of the Year
 more fashionable than ever, for they
 are a necessary part of the skirt and coat costume that in July and August is so important part of the thorough wardrobe. The lingerie waist still af- Words an opportunity for the use of the most exquisite embroidery and laces, and these costly little gar ments are dear to the heart of the dainty woman, as we'll as to the purse of the unfortunate husband.
 | Severe shirt waists of dimity and linen for tennis, golf or any kind of outdoor sport are attractive from the fineness of the quality of the material used in their construction as we'll as from their good cut and fit.
 There is a new rule that is coming in froce among we'll dressed women in the matter of wearing the separate waist and that is that they are to be worn with only the most practical of coat and skirt costumes. It is con- tended, and with reason, that the skirt of one color and the waist of another is as rule unbecoming and especially to the woman who is stout, and this is true of the black skirt and white waist more than of any other combi nation.
 The fashion inaugurated last spring for the separate waist of bands or brotelles made of skirt material, was first seen with what is known as the corslet or suspender skirt, made to look like a princess gown when worn
 with short jacket. At first the fad
 did not meet with much favor. It was thought too youthful, suitable only for young girls, but there was so much
 that was practical about it that it
 found many followers, and now a sort
 of modification of the original idea
 has been arrived at between the orig
 inal suspender waist and that with d
 deep yoke or guimpe with sleeves to
 match, and the problem is solved of waist and yet look as if wearing complete outfit
 Sleeves are made longer than they were last season, although really long sleeves are not yet fashionable, and in some cases the shortest and smallest Of styles are to be noted As rule,
 sleeves now come well below the el- bow and are finished with a fiat band.
 Above the elbow they are finished with
 medium puff, while there are of this
 general style many varieties. While f the long shoulder seam is fashionable n it is to be noted that majority of @ stylish women look best with the d sleeves standing out little from the l. shoulder, so featherbOnes or wire are 2 used to secure the desired effect. Tn V fact, the sleeves are taking LID a great IS deal Of attention as to cut, finish and d becomingness. The loose, wide sleeves n that are feature of the fashions n this year seem to be particularly well r. adapted to the style that looks like et sleeveless coat worn over a sepa- n. rate blouse. The armhole is abnor- t, mally large, on the 4simono order. and
 IS always trimmed with flat band = effect. Sometimes may be noticed pa .t Q of the waist of heavy lace, the part ( that goes over the shoulder and forms q the sleeves. This, finished by flat T band of velvet, is most charming es- . pecially when worn over white. An
 exception to this is in case of yellow . sulphur yellow voile made up with - cream lace dn this instance the diff . ferent shades of Yellow and cream . were most artistically blended. There is great deal of lace to be
 noticed on these fine waists. Not onl,
 braiding and embroidery, but narrow
 bands of silk, fancy buttons and 7
 myriad of dainty touches that can be . given only by the most careful hant ll work. There Is an immense amount O Do hand work on even the simplest O
 these waists. while on tha more elab
