THE SEASONS FASHIONS
what WeIl-Dressed Women Arc Wear
ing-Grent variety and Bc0uti-
full Gowns.

There is no lack OF variety in clothes
this season. If your purse is fun enough
to order a dozen or more gowns you can
have each one in style and entirely differ
ent in line, color and conception from
the others.
There have been few seasons when SO
many kinds Of fashions we're jumbled
upon each other without rhyme or rea-
soD. Possibly this is because all the de-
signers tried 10 get something now and
all the customers went of on tangents of
their own. This resulted in mixup.
Short and stout figures. long and lean
ones. those who like extremes and those
who do not can all be suited in the va
riciy OF styles that are in first class this
year
The short waist is as stylish as ever.
and yet the extremely long waist, almost
pinched in at an exasgers ted length, Is
equally favored Long and short coats
are in each wardrobe and loose and tight
ones are equally Worn.
Stripes are as good style as solid colors
and plads are as fashionable as dots In
fabrics there are more materials worn
than one has space to print their names
REVIVED INDIA PRINTS,
There is little tina, is entirely new, all
though the wide revival of India prints
and Powered fabrics IS perhaps the most
noticeable novelty
Last week during the hot days women
who had courage came out on the streets
and lunched at fashionable restaurants,
wearing delicously cool Powered muls
some Of them made in the old Dolly Var
den style; others a grated First Empire
style on whatever has come after
These were unlned and worn over soft
white petticoats and corset covers run
through with wide colored ribbon One
of the prcttiest models was of pin-dotted
black and white muslin with a deep India
print border in dull pink, blue and black
1t was gath, red to a high wasted belt
and hung straight but not very full to
the ground. There was wide folded sash
of black satin looped at the back into a
round knot hanging with IA long fringed
ends below the knees
The blouse was in round baby fashion,
put to shallow square yoke Of German
valcnciennes lace. Here, again. was in
troduced the conventlonalized India oord-
or, which also covered the armhole and
draped itself into short kimono sleeve
over an undersleeve Of valencennes lace,
WILL BE POPULAR.
This second sleeve by the way, was
| very pretty, and marks a style that is 20
he popular for many summer gowns. 1t
! Is almost straight is a little larger than
the arm, is cut off Just below the elbow,
and is not gathered or tucked in to ut the
| arm,
| If deep allovcr lace is used It's scallops
| form a finish If another fabric is used
there is piping or band OF colored trim
ming made of NULL or galloor, or filet
lace, or silk and velvet ribbon.
For instance In another of these sum
merry frocks worn last week sleeve of
ecru flet net hung perfectly straight over
the arm and the edge was finished with
three rows of black velvet ribbon run on
at top edge only.
The frock itself was Of white null with
q pale blue stripe In 1t and "A border
everything was borders these days-oi
graded black pin dots. This last design
made up the trimming for the blouse as
well as the skirt.
1t was draped around the arm over the
net sleeve and was used to outline deer
square yoke Of the net, run down centre
back and front with velvet ribbon.
This skirt was also high wasted and
narrow bit Of the border was draped al
the top Of it, then finished into an Alsa
tian bow at the back, caught with
small bow of narrow black velvet rib
bon.
With this costume was worn one OF the
popular black chip Is faced with pale
blue chip The thimble crown was wrapped
in blue and white striped taffeta arranged
In a stiff Alsatian bow across the front
Curving over the side were two Tyre
| bird wings In black
LIBERTY SATIN SUITS.
| 1t might also be accounted a distinct
lnovety-this wearing of black liberty
| satin for plain coat suits. Every one can
not afford It, but 1t is quite lovely. These
