FADS AND FASHION.

New York, Aug. 1.-The gowns Of the
modified directoire order are stin the
talk of New York and Paris Such a
fashion in extreme developments will
never find favor with two conservatives
minded but when modified and toned
down it is sure to be an accepted
fashion for a time at least. Hover, it
is not a suitable gown to be worn on
the street. although many women here
In New York have been bold enough to
wear slashed directoire on the prom
inent streets. 1t is a gown, that when
perfectly carried out and worn by
tall graceful woman. does not present
a disgraceful appearance, but on the
other hand. it can easily be made con
spicuous and vulgar. Some of the ma
terials employed are the most trans

worn pink fleshings. Most women are
loath to give their fluffy lingerie for

women will adopt these ultra styles,
but for the stage where exaggerations
prevail, they are just the thing. These
styles are merely reproductions of the
robes Of ancient Greece and Rome, but
they are greatly modified and cannot
begin to compare with the diaphanous
gowns with which the beauties of that
age adorned themselves.

materials of all kinds will be used in
these dresses. but the models of linen
are particularly attractive and, shown
over guimpes of sheer white, lace trim

The touches of subdued or vivid COL
ors which are a feature of this years
white gowns, are seen on jumper dress

a character which would oftentimes be
otherwise lacking. Dull blue, dull

delicacy rather than elaboration.
Skirts of jumper dresses are again

are for informal wear the skirts are
always walking length. They are most
often made without trimming except
for bias folds. although sometimes
touches of embroidery are discreetly
applied toward the hem
