Summer Dress Fabrics.

Novelty is the distinctive note In the
modes OF the year. Nowhere is 1t more
pronounced than In the summer dress
fabrics, washable fabrics, such as linens.
lawns, swisses, dimitics, organdies, ba-
tistes, etc.
While plain weaves in white and dell
cate coors make many OF the attractive
summer frocks, 1t is to be noted that nov
city fabrics are leaders. The spring vogue
OF stripes In worsteds has led to the
very general acceptance OF the new striped
baustes in white, with cord stripes in
delicate pink, blue, green and lavender
set half an inch apart. These, with the
printed satin barred organdles, are devel-
oped into more or less dressy costumes
Materials o. this character lose much Of
their beauty of finish when subjected to
even the most careful laundering, They
renoyate best In the hands OF the dry
Cleaner, Therefore, they may be and are
developed more deliberately than the usual
cotton frock. AS trimmings, the finer luces
are most successful with the organdies,,
while these striped batistes carry The
heavier lpees to better advantage,
Checked and crossbar lawns are like
many other things of the present Gays,
revivals OF other days, and checked
piques are absolutely the latest addition to
the seasons wash goods. This new weave
is much lighter In weight than the old
cross-cord p!Que. and Is so mike It In
general that 1t is not recognizable under
this old familiar name.
Dressy separate coats and coat suits are
made of this new pique and handsomely
braided with soutache Heavy laces are
also effective trimming adjuncts to sncn

Reports from Paris tell us that the
latest novelty In hats has n crown Of
creton, nothing more or less than the or
binary furniture creton. Fifth avenue
shops have been showing crcton brlmmcd
hats and hats with creton bands set into
the brim since early spring. Latest al.
vices tell us that midsummer will see
many creton parasols matching these
hats, and even the silk costume trimmed
with creton bands. French designers
scorn nothing that will bring out the de-
sired effect. Bed tickings created a SEN
sation in the trimming world last season;
this year 1t is furniture coverings.
Guinea Wings are accounted the
smartest of the smart In hat trimmings.
These are huge affairs IN pairs, and some
times accompanied by broad bands of
guinea feathers. They are set fiat on the
wide-brimmed. low-crowned sailors of mid
summer. Very often the wings are touched
with some color, such rs yellow or red
and ribbon of this shade bands the hat
and Is put on the under brim.
The Gold Link Purse has Mt last
met a rival In the gold and silver bags of
obong and slightly Irregular outline, and
fully an Inch and half thick, These
purses are shown In solid gold at prices
running up into three figures and in ster-
ling and German silver. They are lined
with MORE silk and have a little center
pocket for change. The largest size Is
amply large for the visiting cards. Az
though they are known rs vanity purses,
they will really answer us n drcssy purse
and card case as we'll. Plain and chased
designs are shown anu both brilliant and
dull finishes. In the gold the gilt or Eng.
lish finish, as 1t Is called In the shops, Is
considered smartest and in the silver tho
bright finish. Economically inclined wom-
en- are purchasing these purses IL Ger
man silver and having them gold plated.
A purse that costs So in the German sill.
yer may be plated with l4-karat gold ut
the cost of another So, the whole purse
amounting to $40, whereas the gold plated
sterling silver would cost three times that
amount.

Bits Of Shop News.

In Fifth avenue shop for the favored
customer was a little cutaway cape,
most incongruous thing from the descrip-
ton, but In reality a little midsummer
wrap. 1t was entirely of beautiful hand
embroidery, and consisted of two flounces
of circular shape and fiat embroidered
collar. Its greatest length in the back
would not reach more than couple of
inches below the waistline. and Is cut
away sharply from the neck In front, so
that the entire front of the costume
would be displayed.
ColInr-nnd-cuR Sets lose none Of
their popularity. They are worn by
school girls, dcbutantes and even young
matrons. They are on sale In all Of the
shops, but are so easily made at home
that most women prefer to fashion them
themselves and save their money for
other less easily accomplished dress nc-
ccssorles The simple scallopcd edge sets
In white and natural linen are always
pretty, and there are some smart new
designs ornamented with soutache braid

thing.
The latest Cry in the embroidered
linen collars Is collars In colored linen
embroidered in white, and provided with
smart little bows or jabots to match.
Pink, blue aud lavender are the colors
chosen. When these are worn with
white linen suit and accompanied by
matching belt the effect Is very smart.
Very Stunning Effects are being
wrought In combinations Of soutache and
coronation bruids on fine white piques
and linens. A very attractive model
shows the coat of the pique entirely
braided In these two braids, and the skirt
simple plcated affair, quite without
trimming, save for tho inevitable two
bands-one set about the bottom and tho
other Just above the knee. Needleworkers
Will find this style of bralding most at.

TONICS BLAMED
FOR BALD HEADS
New YOrk'S Health COmmiS-
SiOner Orders a Halt in
Use Of Wood Alcohol

NEW YORK. Nov. -Bald-heads,
shining pates. hairless domess are the
latest subject of government regula-
tion. DR. Darlington, Health Com
missioner, is to be tho deliverer. In
deciding to espouse the cause Of the
long-suffering clan. he IS not moved by
selfish motives. for mis- own rotund
dome IS wen supplied with the artistic
appenages Of musicians and poets.
In his scientific observations DR..
Darlington noticed that badness was
on the increase. and then his inquisi-
tive intellect decided it was up to the
BARRIERS. Inspectors began assembling
fancy line of hair wash and tonics
from All parts of the city, and got the
goods on the "tonsorial artist"
Up TO the time of this investigation
it was generally supposed that New
Workers had their wood alcohol admin
istered internally only. But as re-
suit OF Or. Darlington's researches Il
is learned he has also been getting Il
externally in many Of the hair and
race washes. in which only grain alcO-
hol is supposed TO be used.
Therefore. DIR. Darlington summoned
fifty or more BARRIERS TO his office and
told them that in the interest Of man
who wear the Rockefeller type of ma
tural headgear. he demanded reform.
As pointed out a. would be dangerous
for any man TO get any of this wood
alcohol into his einnarflaff a,-o,rt ot
the usual places. where the bartender
disguises it properly and sees that IT
reaones place where it isn't likely to
cause baldhealedness.
To-day DR. Darlington is passing the
word along TO an the BARRIERS to elimi-
nate dangerous materials from their
tonics
While no official announcement has
been made It is believed the effect OF
this new order on the wood alcohol
market VIII eventually be a reduction
in the price of drinks in many saloons.
