NEW YORK FASHIONS
Some OF the Latest Creations For
the Ladies'.
(By Catherine Mann-Payzant.)

NEW YORK, June 1s.-sheer ma
terials we're never more in evidence
than at present, and wonderful
weaves and patterns are seen on
every side. The cotton voiIes are
particularly pretty and useful for
many kinds OF dresses from the plain
shirtwaist suit to the baby princess
dress, the difference being more in
the trimming and the mode of max
ing. Indeed, many Of these fine cot
tons are quite dainty enough for all
occasions except the most dressy.
All the silks have been copied in
the cotton and mercerized varieties
Of materials. For the shirtwaist and
jumper suits and in the heavier quail
tiles they are well adapted for the
thin coat and skirt suit Many cot
ton pongees will be seen in summer
suits and they will also be used for
the long travelling and buster coats.
Some of these cotton goods are real
ly as much silk as cotton, for the
mixture Is one-third silk, one-third
linen and one-third cotton. Pongees,
ra1ahs, tussahs, tafIetas and shan
lungs are to be seen in the cotton
department.
For evening wear over cotton, silk
slips are to be found, effleurs, voiles,
cotton organizes, musIins dotted with
mercerized spots Of all sizes. When
SO decorative in themselves, there is
little need of much decoration, ex-
cept what may be put on the under
blouse or yoke or the sleeves.
To show what may be done with
the cotton fabrics, a dress was lately
constructed of cotton pongee in the
natural color that was a rare imita-
ton OF the real article. A semi
princess was the mode used and the
edges we're applied bands Of the
goods; but narrow panels extending
from the shoulders to the feet on
each side of front PANEL and were
decorated with an embroidery pat
tern In blue flowers and foliage done
in thick heavy silk and with q long
stitch that soon filled in. On the side
panels were U-shaped insets also
and the sleeves or caps
used for sleeves we're slashed pieces
covered with the embroidery. A coat
was worn with this costume and the
cuffs and the fat band collar was
with blue embroidery. A
tiny vest of blue velvet carried out
the color combination.
