FADS AND FASHIONS.

FADS AND FASHIONS.
The sleeveless coat and sleeveless
blouse is a style that is becoming popu-
lar. The waists, however, are not en-
tirely without sleeves but are cut in
such a way that separate sleeves ami
chemisette of thinner material may be
worn. Many of the summer costumes
which consist of coat, skirt and sleeve
les blouse are made of linen with the
sleeves and chemisette of batiste in t;te
same tone as the linen. The sleeveless
coats are considered quite the thing
since no costume that may be worn Oh
the street appears finished without some
fancy wrap or coat. The little black
taffeta sleeveless coats are exceedingly
smart with a lace waist having narrow
RULED sleeves. There are some severe
ly plain jackets made of linen, suitable
to be worn over a simple frock of wash
able sort. AS the sleeves of the frOcll
show, it relieves the SevereneSS of the
tailored coat and the effect is much
prettler than coat sleeves of three-quar-
ter length. The sleeveless coat is, in
reality, merely termed this because of its
cut and does not always mean the jacket
without sleeves. Very effective are the
tailored sleeves applied in bands and
strappings Of silk. These new coats are
made of wolfe, cloth, linen, fancy silk or
cretOnne, either separate or with a skirt
of matching material.
The modish New York girl is now
wearing an extremely smart costume in
the morning and early afternoon Her
hat is the dropping brimmed sailor with
a plain or striped band. The collar and
cuffs that are worn are the most attrac
tive part of the costume for they are
the new OneS-the wide rundown collar,
which, if fastened to the blouse is put
over the coat and the cuffs are attached
to the coat sleeves. The coat should al
ways be worn on the street, to follow the
correct style, and the only time the waist
is displayed is at luncheon Or indoors.
These collars are fastened with a bar
pin OF some sort but are more often fin
lshed with a silk bow and ends tied
loosely or a jabOt or cravat of lace The
suits that are fashionable are strictly
tailored. Most of the coats are made
with the fiat, close sleeves, and are
double breasted. The skirts are prefer
ably gored with the panel front.
The cashmere gowns are at this time
receiving the favors for afternoon toll
cites. Both cloth and cashmere dresses
elaborately embroidered have been seen
at the races. They are very dainty and
becoming, the material being embroidered
in polka dot or small figure with heav-
Ter embroidery trimming at the foot of
the skirt and waist. There are no coats
to match the skirts, for this would be a
style too near the newest skirt and coat
models, but if an extra wrap is needed
a short fancy scarf or cape jacket Of
silk in the exact shade of the gown is
the correct accompaniment.
The afternoon or garden party frocks
are more charming than ever, for this
is the season of muslins, lawns, mulls
and all the sheerest materials that make
the dainty lingerie dresses. The sheer
goods are made oyer a colored founda-
ton whether they are of a color or Of
pure white. AT a recent garden party a
particularly attractive frock was seen.
1t was developed in pearl gray silk net,
worn over princess foundation of rose
pink messaline and was trimmed with
pearl gray lace. The sleeves, extremely
long and narrow, were of net over pink
chiffon and ended in a deep cuff of cream
lace. The bodice was made with a yoke
OF cream lace and where this ended was
crossed handsome piece of gray beaded
net showing various shades of pink and
green at intervals.
There is little to be said about the turn
down collars of embroidered linen. They
are still popular and there are many
hutty little bows to go with them. How
ever, neckwear on the stock idea is gain
ing more favor especially during the
warm weather. The unlined lace stocks
that are a little higher on the sides
than in the back and front are pretty
and comfortable provided the point at
the sides is not eXaggeratedly high. The
top is finished with a single and some
times double frill of lace or plated net
of whichever the stock is made. The pop
ularity of wide frills is steadily increas-
ing and the ribbon ruche is favorite to
wear with foulard, Bingham, batiste or
linen, in fact any one-piece morning
f1ock. The ribbon is laid in pleats and
tackled here and there to keep the place.
This neck finish is tied with a rather
small bow. The ruche of malines and
other transparent stuffs have been de-
scribed many times before, so | will not
speak of them at this writing.
There are some very smart outing and
yachting frocks that are especially inter
esting to the lover cf sports. 1 have
noticed one chic frock made of marine
blue mohair and had trimmings of blue
and cherry red striped taffeta. The skirt
was of the circular model having the in
verified box plat in the back and fasten-
ing at the right of the front over a bias
fold of silk. In the bodice the broad eff
feet was given by two wide tucks rum
ming from shoulder to belt. The sailor
collar was outlined with a wide bias
fold of taffeta and the cuffs were finished
in the same way. The puff sleeves were
set into good sized armholes. A remov-
able dickie in front had a fold of silk
across the middle. The last finishing
touches were silk covered buttons which
the front gore, a scarf of silk tied in
sailors knot and a red leather belt.
