|Gaimlpe Dresses. Coming Summer

All Paris seems to nave aQopISO pongee as the material for sunInrci dresses, although never before has it been very popular among the Par isians. They have always preferred their light cheyiots and soft serges, but now it is pongee for shirtwaist suits and jumper dresses. They re aliZe, howeyer-as the women of America do not-that pongee never can be dressy, that it is charming for street dresses or morning wear, but for other purposes it is inappr5- priate,
 The Parisians are using it l- all shades, though the natural color ana a shade of nattier blue are the most popular, the walking skirts are made plaited or plain, according to the fig ure of the wearer.
 These street dresses, with short skirts, are always finished with long gauntlet cuffs of lace or net below the short sleeves made of the dreSr material. These gauntlets are really very useful and most suitable, while at the same time they carry out the effect of the short sleeve of last year. which was so becoming to many.
 The gown at the left is of naturar pongee, tucked and trimmed with ecrue cluny lace, while dotted net | forms a mousquetaire sleeve and yoke: the gown is very chic, while l the lines formed by the lace are eX- ceptionally good The hat is one of 1 those new affairs of all-over embroid ! cry. cut in a circle, gathered and | bound in black velvet, which is tieo in a bow in the back.
 A smart model in delft blue pongee ] is hand-embroidered in the same | shade with a coarse silk fiber The l buttons down the front are covered i with pongee. while the yoke is Gi ecru aIl-over valencienes lace, used in combination with dotted net. The
 skirt is plaited and untrimmed save i for the fold at the bottom. The ' sleeves are sectional, with valen 1 ciennes undersleeves. The hat worr | with this costume is black chiP l lined with brown straw and trimn ed with black aigrettes and d browI l velvet bow. The scarf is of blacr \ chantilly lace, lined with black ,ilD
 erty satin.
 l Another costume. in natural pon gee, is made somewhat on the sur plice plan. The band, which ex tends around the yoke line anc down the froDt, is of the material closely stitched while the lace is Irish crochet, the collar and sut yokes being of tucked dotted nei The ever-present tie at the neck is )
 black satin. while the hat Is of nat
 ural straw, adorned only by larS'
 black satin bow. The parasol i
 also of natural pongee, while a nat
 ural wood stick, bound in gun metal
 carries out the color scheme of tn, l whole.
 l Pongee has always been a popula material in this country, but it ]
 always slightly difficult to make UT
 therefore these three gowns are es peciaIly helpful in their fertility c
 suggestion.
 The fashion in sleeves is alway matter of interest, for in no othe detail of the costume is there sue
 variety. The word has gone fort
 this season that they are to be ( ell shapes, all sizes, and called Q all name: but after all, the collet tion shown proves that, while the , gre made comparatively full, the ] are not large, and that for wome . past their first youtn they may D
