NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
some Of the New Styles in Summer
Goods.

1hOSS Win boIacIs. n lew were uSGQ
last year. but 1t is now that their pos
sibilities are recognized and the man
ufacturers have given us a number
less variety, not only In the hand
painted nets and chlffons but in the
less expensive and simpler fabrics.
They may be found In linens, such
as white ground with a coral bor-
der, brown grass linen with Per-
sian design, a gray muslin with blue
with curved edge and striped lines In
it's edge. Many of the cotton silks, SO
called, have borders that represent
stencil designs, muIls have beautiful
lowered or foliage patterns and the
challis adapt themselves particularly
to such decoration. The foulards,
both Of the real and the cotton va
riety, have handsome chevron Dor
ders.
Their use is applied equally to the
ornamentation of the skirt and the
waist, jumper straps, the outlines of
the overblouse, Japanese bands and
belts, panels, folds and flounces.
Trimmings are favorite places for
their application and they are the
potent aids of both the short and the
tall woman, the one using them In
vertical lines and the other in cross
wise fashion.
A foulard Is always a useful dress
and late importation is a good ex-
ample OF the use of the border. The
ground of the foulard was a rich
green covered with a ring-dot In
white and border of white lines di-
agonal to each other, zigzag, like
the arrow headed stripes forming the
badge on non-"ommissioned officers
coat sleeve. The skirt very happily
combines the good features OF both
the plated and circular modes. 1t
consists of six cores, the two at each
side being of circular shaping, closely
adjusted to the figure, while the front
and back cores are plated. The clos
Ing Is made at the left side OF the
back gore. The chevron bands are
placed a few inches above the lower
edge and outlining the plated cores.
With other materials the bands may
be OF lace or of the material with
hand embroidery. The dress is OF
clearing length. The blouse waist is
very simple In its construction, the
blouse portion being gathered to a
yoke which may be of fine lace or net
Embroidered with colored silk match
ing the colors In the gown material.
Over the shoulders and at the bottom
of the yoke both front and back are
straps of the border, which also forms
the Japanese bands over the adjust
ment of the full sleeves which end at
the elbow and are gathered into cuffs
Of the bordered material. The belt
Is Of the border also.
Another development of this gown
was in natural colored pongee with a
border of white and brown key pat
terms on the pongee In darker shade.
Lace bands or those of embroidery
would be suitable for white linen
or dotted Swiss or a printed chiffon.
The foulards in blue with designs
in white are the best liked though
many are shown in dark red, green
and browns and few in gray, and
the patterns dots of all sizes, lozenges,
dashes, bars, and tiny sprigs of flow
ers.
A few of the foulard are in larger
and conventional designs, some are
In checks and some are overplaided
and others are in stripes with an in
visible or over check beneath.
A. white linen having a coral bor-
der, done in wreaths and small de-
signs between, consisted of kilt
plated skirt. and kits turning from
the center of the front. The lower
edge Is straight, measuring with the
plaits drawn out about Ave yards In
the medium sizes. Ii is In clearing
length and the straight lower edge

The blouse waist had becoming ar
rangement OF Wide and short tucks
on the shoulders with plain space in
the center which is supplied from the
bordered goods and the belt, which
is mounted on heavier linen. and
finished with a mother-of-pearl buck
le.

was In olive panama and instead of
the border fold of goods was applied
