FASHION WORLD.

There are still a few more weeks to
talk about summer elegancies, but be-
fore we will be hardly aware of the fast
declining season the first autumn styles
and hints will be shown us. However,
in the remaining weeks, every woman
will endeavor to be as attractively
gowned as previously and although her
gowns may show signs of wear, she will
nave them freshened or partly remod-
eled. In this way her costumes may
last through the summer season and
their appearance will also be slightly
changed. The princess gowns are more
than ever in vogue and are showing new
and different arrangements in trimming
which changes the whole effect of the
costume. Some of these costumes are
finished on the shoulders with bretelles
and then the waist is cut in Empire
style, the sleeves and corsage being
made of net and mousseline chiffon.
Many of the gowns are 'alde without
any trimming, in absolutely plain lines,
which reveal more carefully the perfect
figure.
The jabot of plated lawn, lace or net
is one of the prettiest features III the
seasons neckwear. An exceedingly
dainty stock and jabot, which would
pearance, was made of Irish lace and
net. The shaped stock was made OF
Irish lace outlined with lands of claim
lawn and furthermore was edged with
three rows of silk cord. The long jabot
was of white net edged with lace and
was arranged in cascade fashion. At
the left side of the jabot appeared
frill of Irish lace which added more to
the elegance of the neckpiece. A great
many of these frilled jabots can be
made at home by skillful fingers from
pieces of fine lace, etc., that one always
1of+
every up-to-date woman knows, This
fashionable neckwear is found very eX-
pensive when so much must be had. A
jabot suitable to be worn with any en-
broidered linen collar was finely plated
in three waterfall frills edged and
bordered with embroidery in black or in
color. Another was of closely gath
cred lawn deeply edged with Irish lace
at the bottom and at the sides with
narrow edging of the lace.
The little summer wraps are con-
stantly receiving praises for their use
funess and daintiness. They are needed
so many evenings, and afternoons too,
that one should have a wrap to accom-
pany each costume, or perhaps one that
will look we'll with several gowns. |
have noticed number of attractive
ones lately and one was of biscuit-col-
ored taffeta. 1t was made of narrow
bands embroidered III SOutache OF the
same shade and was separated by net
embroidered in silk floss. The front
was closed with passementerie motifs.
Another one, simple, but very dainty,
was of orange cleth having a deep band
of flet at the bottom in the same tint.
All gloves are much wrinkled on the
arm is the word from Paris and so it is
very necessary that they be purchased
with sufficient length. Tie twelve but
ton length is most generally sold. The
plain white gloves are not liked except
for certain occasions, those in tints of
champaign, cream, beige and all the diff
ferent browns and grays being the fash
ionable colors for dressy affairs. Peau de
SAKE and suede are worn afternoons
while for evenings or elaborate occasions,
kid stands first. For the very warm
weather silk is chosen, and also the satin
finish thread which is a perfect imita
ton of suede. There is a novelty in
silk gloves which have the arm and hand
portions Joined by hemstitching. The
arm length is deliberately embroidered
while the hand of the glove is left
plain.
Never before have the linen costumes
been SO wonderfully smart and attract
i've as they are this year. The suit of
1908 has not taken suggestion from
tho ono of 1907 aud bo loS
